Everything you reach for,
right beside the simulator.

No proxy setup, no simctl one-liners, no trip to the Settings app.

  • Generate a Codable model from any response
  • HAR export and pretty-printed JSON

  • Scenario folders like “Spring sale” or “Errors”
  • Hit counts so you know a mock fired
Mock list with sale and error scenarios, and the app showing mocked sale prices

SimKit SDK

One line for the deep stuff.

Add the SDK to unlock network monitoring, mocks, throttling, WebSocket and performance insights. Enable it inside #if DEBUG and nothing runs in your release builds.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is SimKit really free?

Yes. SimKit is free with no account. Get it from the Mac App Store, or download the signed and notarized DMG from this site.

Do I need the SDK?

No. Capture, push, deep links, location, accessibility, biometrics and debug tools work with any app. The SimKit SDK adds network monitoring, mocks and throttling. It is one line of Swift, and you enable it inside #if DEBUG.

Does my data leave my Mac?

Captured requests, headers, bodies and tokens stay on your Mac. SimKit sends anonymous usage analytics and crash reports through Firebase. See the Privacy Policy for details.

Is SimKit open source?

Not yet, but it will be soon. The app's source code will be published on GitHub.

Does SimKit work with Xcode 27?

Yes. SimKit 1.7 supports the new Device Hub in Xcode 27 as well as Simulator.app in earlier versions.

What macOS version does SimKit require?

macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later.

App Store or DMG?

They are the same app. The App Store version updates through the App Store, the DMG version updates itself.
