Baguette bundles simulator control, streaming, gestures

Baguette is a Swift CLI for headless iOS simulator management that can boot and shut down devices, stream frames at up to 60 fps, and inject taps, swipes, and multi-finger gestures from the host. It also includes a browser-based dashboard for single devices and a multi-simulator farm view for automation, demos, and test workflows.

// ANALYSIS

Strong utility for iOS teams that want simulator automation without the Simulator GUI.

–Combines lifecycle management, frame streaming, and host-side input injection in one CLI instead of splitting across tools.
–The browser UI makes it more approachable for interactive use, while the terminal commands keep it scriptable.
–The pitch is especially compelling for device-farm style workflows and remote debugging.
–The tradeoff is clear: it depends on Xcode 26 and private SimulatorKit/CoreSimulator APIs, so it is powerful but tightly coupled to Apple’s current simulator stack.
