Hey! 👋
I appreciate you reading and supporting the newsletter.
Another Thursday, another issue with the latest tools to help you with daily tasks.
Let’s dive in!
Let’s connect on X (ex-Twitter) & LinkedIn! 🤝
Free local MCP server for macOS that captures microphone and system audio (including iOS simulator output) and delivers it straight to your AI agent for analysis, transcription, or debugging.
No cloud, no accounts - just raw WAV audio piped to Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible tool.
Why you will like it:
Capture iOS simulator audio to debug voice chat, audio playback, or sound-related bugs. Let your AI actually hear the glitch instead of guessing from logs.
Record mic + system audio into one stereo WAV (left = mic, right = system). Great for testing two-way audio features like VoIP or WebRTC.
Feed recordings into Whisper or any STT pipeline for quick transcripts without a separate recording app.
100% local and free. No cloud, no network calls from the server, no usage limits. Audio stays on your disk.
Works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, or any MCP client. One-line install: npx audio-mcp or brew install BugorBN/audio-mcp/audio-mcp

Fast mode for lower-latency turns.
Plan mode for structured planning before execution.
Steer active runs without starting over.

A command-line interface designed to bridge the gap between Large Language Models (LLMs) and the iOS Simulator.
It provides a set of stateless, atomic commands to inspect, interact with, and verify the state of iOS applications running in the Simulator.
Why you will like it:
Generates simplified, text-based JSON representations of the UI, allowing LLMs to “see” the screen with minimal token usage.
Each command is independent, making it easier for agents to reason about the state.
Orchestrates xcrun simctl and idb for robust automation.
