Mata vs SimBeam

Live interaction with your iOS Simulator — from your iPhone. No Xcode on your laptop. No remote desktop squinting. YOUR MAC STAYS HOME. YOU STAY MOBILE. A Mac Mini on your desk runs Xcode, your coding agent, and the simulator. In your bag: just your phone. Mata is the window between them — a live, resolution-matched stream of your iOS Simulator with full touch control. FULL INTERACTIVE CONTROL Tap, scroll, swipe, and pinch — everything maps 1:1 to the simulator. You're not watching a recording. You're in it. SIMULATOR SHORTCUTS WITHOUT XCODE Trigger Face ID, simulate locations, rotate the device, send memory warnings, and test push notifications — all from the control panel. No Xcode menus required. SWITCH BETWEEN SIMULATORS Running iPhone and iPad builds on the same Mac? Switch between them instantly from your phone. Compare layouts across device sizes without walking back to your desk. QUALITY YOU CONTROL Adjust capture scale, frame rate, and bandwidth to match your network. Crisp over Wi-Fi, smooth over cellular. WORKS WITH YOUR CODING AGENT Pair Mata with Moshi or any terminal app. Your agent builds and runs on the Mac — you see the result live on your phone. Spot what's broken, tell your agent what to fix. Ship faster without ever opening Xcode on a second machine. REQUIREMENTS - A Mac running the Mata host app with an active iOS Simulator - iPhone on the same network (or reachable remotely) Privacy Policy: https://getmata.app/privacy Terms of Service: https://getmata.app/terms

SimBeam turns your iPhone or iPad into a live remote for the iOS Simulators running on your Mac. Pair the app with your Mac once by scanning a QR code, then connect any time to see all the simulators on that Mac, open any one of them, and watch its screen as a real-time video stream. Your taps, swipes, and the Home button are sent straight back to the simulator, so you can actually use it from your device — not just look at it. WHAT YOU CAN DO • See every simulator on a paired Mac, with its iOS version and status • Stream a simulator's screen live, with low latency • Control it remotely — tap, swipe, and press Home • Boot or shut down a simulator right from your device • Jump back into recent simulators in one tap from the main screen • Pair and keep multiple Macs, and switch between them any time BUILT FOR DEVELOPERS AND QA Test how a build feels in the hand without unplugging from your desk. Show a running simulator to a colleague across the room. Keep an eye on a long scenario from the couch. REQUIRES A MAC SimBeam is a companion to the SimBeam app on macOS. You need a Mac running the SimBeam companion with at least one iOS Simulator to pair with and stream from. Pairing is secure and takes a single scan. PRIVACY Your pairing identity stays on your device. SimBeam has no account to create, shows no ads, and does not track you.
