Tripod Devices

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.
