Deltix
Deltix is an AI agent that runs plain-English tasks on an iOS Simulator on your Mac and reports whether a real user could complete them, keeping source code and builds local.

Introduction
Deltix tests mobile apps by trying user tasks the way a person would. You write a task in plain English, such as “sign up and send your first message”, and its agent attempts it on an iOS Simulator running on your Mac, then tells you whether a real user could complete it. Successful runs can be saved and rerun.
Privacy is central to the design. The agent runs locally against your simulator, and Deltix says it never accesses your source, your build or your signing identities. Screenshots and run records sit in your account for review and replay, can be deleted, and you can bring your own model key.
It is in open beta, supports iOS today and is free with no card or invite needed.
Launch and background: Deltix was posted to Hacker News as a Show HN on 15 August 2026.
