What is tapflow (Mobile QA)?
tapflow is an open-source, self-hosted library that lets your whole team — PO, PM, designers, backend engineers, and QA — test iOS and Android apps directly from a browser. It reuses a Mac you already own as the agent, so there is no external cloud dependency and no app builds, streams, or recordings ever leave infrastructure you control.
The primary workflow is manual testing: CI uploads a build, and the team reviews it on a real simulator/emulator in the browser — no Xcode, no Android Studio, no device pool, and no accounts on third-party services. An experimental, opt-in AI Agent mode (@tapflowio/mcp-server) additionally lets MCP-compatible LLM agents like Claude Code control the simulator for automated testing.
Unlike Appetize or BrowserStack, tapflow is free, MIT-licensed, fully customizable, and keeps your data on premises.
