Limrun

Extend your sandbox with Xcode, iOS & Android Simulators

Visit Limrun

Limrun provides real-time remote Xcode and iOS and Android simulators so cloud agents can build, validate, and share their work through demo videos and live previews. It addresses the need for native development services that an agent can compose on the fly from its sandbox.

The platform includes a remote Xcode service for realtime builds with streamed logs, simulator attachment for fast reloads, and an S3-backed cache for warm builds. Agents can drive remote simulators using built-in accessibility tree calls or frameworks such as Appium, Maestro, and Detox, with video recording, realtime log streaming, and batch actions. Sharing is handled through browser-based preview links, agent-requested demo videos, and direct device installation over WebUSB.

Limrun is aimed at mobile development teams using cloud agents. It offers a free starting plan, and its build pricing is based on idle and build time.
