This eliminates the need for VPNs or simulator streaming.
Introducing Sqim - a free tool that lets you sign and upload your iOS project binaries, and serve temporary web pages to sideload on your iPhone straight from Codex Mobile. This closes the feedback loop in your mobile agentic iOS development workflows on any network without requiring tailscale, VPN, or simulator streaming hacks!

@neeeel If you’re gonna have your computer in the same network, this is a solved problem with claude / remote-control. I demo’d it here!

If you have homebrew, just do this:
>> brew install milq-ai/tap/sqim sqim login >>
And that’s it! Skills should automatically install after successful login. Or you can run this:
sqim setup all
@neeeel Is this over-the-air installation of builds signed with development certificates, or is this using a different approach?

@sabeshbharathi Yep! When you’re on the same WiFi, there never was an issue. Xcode (some devicectl commands I believe) already had options to wirelessly run on iPhone. But Sqim works differently, and doesn’t require you to be on the same network.
Wait, as in fully functional app builds? Like the same thing you’d usually get from TestFlight? Also is it watchOS compatible for apps that have bundled Apple Watch apps? (Often such apps only work via TestFlight iOS installs, but not when installed via the Watch app as a component of a directly-installed non-TestFlight app). Please LMK @neeeel
@neeeel Perfect! More sign in options would be nice 👌
@winstondu These web pages are temporary, so we’ll clear our storage periodically
@neeeel I love you man this is truly a lifesaver
@neeeel this is great, thank tysm
@neeeel This is a game changer for iOS devs. Congrats on launching Sqim! Excited to see how this improves the workflow.
@neeeel the honest answer is that we built kaigen's ai agents to automate more than just workflow optimization, but to actually change what you can do on your phone with code. sqim's a step in the right direction
The CLI tool is for macOS right now, which can get invoked by codex or Claude code or any other agent… so yeah you’d have to keep your computer running, unless you have some cloud VM setup. And you love the sticker too!? 🥹 If you’re in Vancouver, I can meetup and give a couple! :)
@neeeel This is great! I saw the demo in person, and it was really awesome. Good luck with the launch, Neel!
@neeeel Let’s goo🔥
@neeeel wow, you nailed it. the final piece
@neeeel Interesting! Thanks.
Where are the binaries hosted?
@neeeel this is fire!!!
