iCircuit is the premier iPhone and iPad app for designing, simulating, and learning analog and digital electronics. Its advanced simulation engine provides real-time, always-on analysis so your circuits stay powered and live, just like working with real components.

Use it like a CAD tool: add components, wire them up, and set their properties. But iCircuit is unlike typical CAD apps because it is always simulating. You do not stop to take a measurement or spend time configuring reports. Instead, you just play with the circuit as you normally would, with the power on.

Build circuits with over 300 components, from simple resistors and LEDs to programmable Arduinos (Uno, Nano, Mega, ESP8266, ESP32), PIC microcontrollers, and 60 4000/7400-series digital ICs (more available with Pro). Connect elements, adjust values, and instantly see the results.

BUILT-IN TEST EQUIPMENT • Multimeter: Probe any point to read voltage, current, and power • Oscilloscope: Track multiple signals with touch-controlled time scale, stacked/unstacked views, FFT analysis, and Bode plots • Gauges: Visualize voltages, currents, and frequencies directly in your circuit • Signal generators and configurable sources

EXTENSIVE COMPONENT LIBRARY • Programmable Arduinos (Uno, Nano, Mega, ESP8266, ESP32) • Programmable PIC microcontrollers (assembly and HEX files, more available with Pro) • Power: Voltage regulators (78xx, LM317), sources, dependent sources, power jacks, and simulated antennas • Analog: Resistors, capacitors, inductors, diodes, BJTs, MOSFETs, thermistors, triodes, and tetrodes • Digital: Logic gates (AND, OR, NAND, NOR, XOR), JK and D flip-flops, and 60 4000/7400-series ICs (180+ available with Pro) • ADCs and DACs • Sensors and displays: LEDs, 7-segment, NeoPixels, matrix displays, thermistors • Electromechanical: Motors, servos, SPST/SPDT and DPST/DPDT switches, push buttons, relays, and speakers

CREATE CUSTOM ELEMENTS Build sub-circuits and custom elements to componentize your designs and create reusable modules. Share your custom elements with others via the iCircuit Gallery.

AUDIO SIMULATION Hear your circuits. Speakers, buzzers, and microphones produce real audio output.

Perfect for students learning electronics, hobbyists prototyping projects, and engineers validating designs, all without burning out a single component.

ABOUT ICIRCUIT PRO (OPTIONAL) iCircuit is a complete app with a one-time purchase. iCircuit Pro is optional and adds extra components (including more PICs and a larger 4000/7400 IC library) and helps fund ongoing development. Pro is not required for core simulation or everyday circuit design.

Total rip off

Totally waste of time App. Bugs galore and god forbid you build anything serious with it!!

Huge new update
     
by pblair · April 1, 2024

This is one of the most under-appreciated apps around. This app is SO GOOD and does SO MUCH.

Don’t upgrade
     
by Foleyrace · January 19, 2025

Worked until I upgraded to paid. Now it’s junk

Love It!

Absolutely love this

Inaccurate
     
by Roger Armstrong · December 4, 2022

Inaccurate therefore not very useful. I tried something simple like shorting a capacitor and it was inaccurate.

What happened?
     
by Diss ApointeDD · December 26, 2024

This app used to be awesome, I haven’t used it for a while and I just downloaded it again and it’s super buggy. It doesn’t matter how much you zoom in before you touch something or select something. It always thinks you’re trying to select or touch something else and then it messes the whole circuit up. Undo is unreliable. It just feels weird now it used to work really well.

They are thieves? Don’t buy this App !!!

This app does nothing. They charge you a bunch of money and give you nothing and then want to charge you more money to get more features, what did I pay $16 for?

Almost great

No AC motor, no way to search components
