Clone simulators with their full state, automatic Codex CLI hooks, and multi-platform project creation.
Simulator Cloning

Codex Hooks
If you're using Codex CLI, FlowDeck now hooks in automatically — the same way the Claude Code plugin works. Your agent will be steered away from reaching for xcodebuild when FlowDeck can do a better job.
