Alpha changelog
What is in the first alpha of Tripod Devices, and what is known to be rough.
Alpha 1
The first public build.
In this build
- One window for iOS Simulators, Apple Watch simulators, Android emulators, iPhones and Android phones.
- iOS + Android Lean pair. One action starts an iPhone simulator and an Android emulator in Lean, side by side, with a memory and CPU readout and one Stop that restores what Lean changed.
- Inspect mode on the mirror: outline, pin, copy a selector, and measure gaps.
- Mirror input: mouse wheel scroll, trackpad pinch, Option-drag for two fingers, and Simulator-style Device menu keys with Shake, Android Back and rotation.
- Device windows that take the device's shape on a spring when it turns.
- Performance group with Live and Tune tabs, and a Build tab that keeps several project folders and runs Gradle projects on Android.
- Reconnect after a dropped stream or a Mac wake, and a visible takeover state when another tool drives a simulator's input.
- Send Feedback saves a redacted zip that you send yourself.
- Agents: the MCP server, the CLI, a
device_pair_*tool set, and five skills installed for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor. - Mobile web through the device's own browser. See Mobile web.
Known rough edges
- Apple Watch simulators support the screen, touch, crown and side button. Other tools on a watch are open.
- iPhone over Wi-Fi is the least tested route. Cable-free video and reconnect still need more testing.
- The pair's Lean selection targets iOS 27.2 simulators.
- A dedicated mobile web tool, a DOM inspector and page-level network capture do not exist yet.
- There are no published speed numbers. Each response carries its own timing, and we will publish what we measure, with the method.
- Several features are covered by device-free tests and have not yet been checked on every kind of device.
