About

Sqim is a CLI tool and iOS app that lets developers preview their Swift/iOS builds directly on their iPhone without needing a VPN or Tailscale. It integrates with AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor so agents can push builds to your phone automatically. Builds are hosted on high-fidelity cloud simulators and accessible via a shared web dashboard.

What it does

The site presents Sqim as a command line tool, installed via Homebrew, that pairs with a real iOS app, letting a user run builds on their own iPhone without a VPN or Tailscale connection. It says agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor can push builds directly, though sideloading needs a paid Apple developer account.

Stated on the product site

Install method
The CLI is installed through a Homebrew tap rather than a standalone downloadable binary.
Platform requirement
Sideloading a build onto the device is stated to require a paid Apple Developer account.
Agent integrations named
The page lists Codex, Claude Code, Termius, and Cursor as the tools it works with.
Interface
Builds are managed through a web dashboard in addition to the CLI and iOS app.
Setup mechanism
Agent integration is set up by having the CLI install per-agent skill files rather than a manual configuration step.

Not stated on the site

  • The page does not state which desktop operating systems the CLI supports beyond a Mac-oriented Homebrew install step.
