Your Mac's camera,
live in the iOS Simulator

SimCam lets you test camera features without a physical device - stream from your Mac's camera, inject an image, or generate a QR code.

Features

A real camera feed, right inside the simulator

Registers as a system-level virtual camera – your app sees it through standard AVFoundation APIs.

Camera stream

Test QR codes in seconds

No more holding your phone up to screen – SimCam lets you generate QR codes programmatically and inject them straight into the camera stream.

QR injection

Use any image or video as a camera source

Building a credit card scanner, barcode reader, or image recognition feature? Feed SimCam a consistent image or video sample so your app always sees exactly what you need.

Media injection

Works with AI agents too

$ simcamctl help

$ simcamctl set-source --qr "AUTH_TOKEN_XYZ""

$ simcamctl set-source --image mock.png

SimCam has a CLI for AI agents

An agent can switch camera sources, generate QR codes and check camera diagnostics.

Programmatic access

AI agent optimized
