MiniSim

brew install --cask minisim v0.10.0

Launch iOS and Android device simulators from a quick menu without opening Xcode or Android Studio.

Why you might care

Developers frequently switch between multiple simulators during testing. MiniSim provides a faster, dedicated interface for launching and managing them compared to navigating through full IDEs. Useful if you mainly need simulator access without the overhead of full development environments.
