Sqim helps remote AI agents install iOS builds on your iPhone
Sqim is a free CLI tool for checking iOS apps built by remote AI agents directly on an iPhone. can build iOS apps, but seeing the result may require going back to a Mac. Sqim signs the iOS build, uploads it to a server, and creates a temporary webpage so the binary can be installed straight on the phone.
Tailscale or VPN setups can be unreliable, and remote simulator streaming can have lag while also missing real-device tests for haptics and the camera. Setup starts with ` milq-ai/tap/sqim`. After that, the AI agent can be asked to build the project with Sqim when it is ready.
The demo uses , but the tool is meant to work with any remote agent. The tool spread widely on X and was reshared by some people from OpenAI.
