List Emulators

A Raycast extension to quickly list and launch Android emulators and iOS (watchOS, iPadOS, tvOS, visionOS) simulators directly from Raycast.

Features

• Android Emulators — List all available Android Virtual Devices (AVDs) and start them with a single action
• iOS Simulators — List all available iOS, watchOS, iPadOS, tvOS, and visionOS simulators (macOS only)
• Cross-platform — Works on both macOS and Windows
• Search — Quickly filter emulators by name

Requirements

Android Emulators

The extension supports configurable paths for the Android emulator:

Platform	Default Path	Configuration
Windows	emulator (from PATH)	Can specify a custom path in settings
macOS	~/Library/Android/sdk/emulator/emulator	Can specify a custom path in settings

Configuration

You can customize the emulator path in the extension preferences (Raycast → Extensions → Emulator List → Preferences):

• Android Emulator Path (Windows) — Path to the emulator executable on Windows. Leave as emulator if it's already in your PATH.
• Android Emulator Path (macOS) — Full path to the emulator executable on macOS. Supports ~ for home directory.

Adding Emulator to PATH (Optional)

If you prefer using the default PATH-based approach on Windows, add the following to your environment variables:

• Windows: Add %ANDROID_HOME%\emulator to your PATH
• macOS/Linux: Add the following to your shell config (.zshrc, .bashrc, etc.):

export ANDROID_HOME=$HOME/Library/Android/sdk
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/emulator
export PATH=$PATH:$ANDROID_HOME/platform-tools

Note: After modifying your shell config, restart your terminal or run source ~/.zshrc (or equivalent).

iOS Simulators (macOS only)

• Xcode must be installed with the iOS Simulator component
• The xcrun command (included with Xcode Command Line Tools) must be available

iOS simulators are only available on macOS. On Windows, an informational message will be displayed instead.
