This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
Many of us work on multiple apps at a time, and hardware occasionally gets too slow, especially with a bunch of Xcode windows and simulators open. With Pitlane you can select, build, run and debug your projects without opening Xcode at all. It also switches off the background services your app never calls, so hundreds of background processes drop to dozens and each simulator needs far less memory. A local API lets your agents build, read the errors, fix and rebuild without you.
I built Pitlane to replace Xcode while I am working on a bunch of my own apps simultaneously, and cut a simulator's memory use from 20 GB to about 2 GB along the way by disabling background processes most apps don't need - so now even a mid-range MacBook can comfortably run 5-10 simulators in parallel.
To celebrate the launch, PHLAUNCH2026 gets you 50% off the licence for the next month.
What's the most memory you've seen a simulator take? Let's check if Pitlane can help with that.
