Act on this, mostly signal

simless runs SwiftUI apps on a Mac without a simulator

What to do

Try the open-source abacusai/simless tool to cut Claude's iOS screen checks from a simulator run.

Why

A Reddit post reports about 2 seconds per check instead of 22, though the baseline is anecdotal.

What the research found

Reddit post says the open-source simless tool (abacusai/simless) runs SwiftUI apps natively on a Mac without a simulator, cutting Claude's per-screen check to about 2 seconds, though the 22 second baseline is anecdotal.

Claims and how well the evidence supports them

simless runs SwiftUI apps natively on the Mac without a simulator 99%
Claude gets each screen back as a text tree of about 150 tokens in about 2 seconds 99%
Previous simulator-based iOS screen check took about 22 seconds (author's anecdote, unverified) 12%
simless can run unit tests and UI tests 99%
