Hey Product Hunt 👋
I built testcat because mobile UI testing is still either brittle scripts
you babysit forever, or manual tapping before every release.
testcat lets you describe a test in plain language and hands it to an AI
agent that drives real iOS simulators — booting devices, tapping, typing,
verifying — while you watch the whole thing live. At the end you get a
verdict backed by actual actions and observations, not a hopeful "looks
good."
A few things I cared about:
• Bring your own agent — Claude Code, Codex, opencode, or fully-local Ollama.
• Trust by default — a completion gate cross-examines every success claim.
No executed actions, no pass.
• Local-first — everything persists to a local SQLite dashboard; nothing
leaves your Mac.
• Real devices too — it signs and installs an XCUITest runner so the same
agent can drive your physical iPhone.
It's open source (MIT) and macOS/Apple Silicon. Would love your feedback —
especially on the agent profiles and the evidence/verdict model.
How does it actually handle flaky tests or simulator states between runs, and is there any way to step in manually if the AI agent starts going off-script mid-test?
