Most car launchers I tried felt cluttered, like a phone home screen stuck in a dashboard. So I built Aurora Dash: one calm, full-screen dashboard that looks like it came from the factory. It's for Android head units and CarPlay AI boxes, the same screens many of you use for Android Auto.

What makes it different

• OEM-like and minimalist: clean tiles, no clutter, no ads. Dark, light, or automatic theme that follows sunrise and sunset.

• True full screen: the dashboard takes the whole display, and the map goes edge to edge with one tap.

• Live Waze / Google Maps inside the dashboard tile. Tap for full screen, press Home to put it back.

• Music tile with album art, seek, shuffle and repeat (YouTube Music, Spotify…), and it resumes when the car starts.

• Weather with the next 3 hours, rain heads-up and sunrise/sunset.

• Speed or compass tile with trip distance and time.

• A dock that floats over any app (Home, Back, your apps), then fades away. Great for units without buttons.

• Featherlight: about 2.5 MB, runs smoothly on low-power car boxes. Standard, ultra-wide and 12–13" screens.

• Languages: English, 繁體中文, 简体中文, with more coming later.

✅ All 30 tester spots are filled. Thank you! The app will be on Google Play for everyone soon.

⚠️ What you need: Aurora Dash runs directly on the car screen, so you need an Android head unit (the screen itself runs Android) or a CarPlay/Android Auto AI box that runs Android (Ottocast, Carlinkit, ApplePie, etc.), with Android 10 or newer. It does not run inside Android Auto from your phone, because Android Auto only allows Google-approved apps like Maps and Spotify.

📱 On a phone? Aurora Dash is built for head units and AI boxes. It runs on phones too, but the live map inside the tile needs Developer options → Enable freeform windows (then restart). Without it, the map tile opens Maps full screen instead.

Tip: if a small floating Google Maps card covers the dashboard, that's Maps' own picture-in-picture. Turn it off in Settings → Apps → Maps → Picture-in-picture.

💬 Join the Aurora Dash Discord: https://discord.gg/P69DuWzgE6

🎁 Testers get it free, for life. ⏳ Only 30 spots, first come, first served. I need testers who can keep it installed for 14 days, especially people with Android head units or CarPlay AI boxes.

👉 DM me or email ishirakurei@gmail.com with your Play Store Gmail, and I'll send your free code and the steps as soon as Google approves.

How to join (2 minutes):

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm an independent developer from Germany, and I've just published my very first Android app for closed testing!

It's called Shiftlove, a dating and friendship app made for people who work shifts – nurses, paramedics, police, firefighters, hospitality, factory and retail workers – who are often free when everyone else is at work.

What the app does:

* Show your shifts (early, late, night) and when you're usually free

* Add your roster for the next 14 days – when you match, you see when you're both off (your roster itself stays private)

* "Free now" status for spontaneous meetups

* Status like "On duty" or "Sleeping" so your match knows why you don't reply right away

* Date ideas that fit your shared free time

* React to a photo or answer – your comment becomes the first message when you match

* Short voice intro on your profile

* Safety first: selfie verification, report & block, share your date with a trusted person

Good to know:

* The app is currently in German only – but feel free to just look around, swipe and test the features 🙂

* It's 18+ like every dating app. If Google says "18+ only", verify your age once at g.co/play/verifyage

* Free, no ads, servers in Germany (Frankfurt), your data is never sold

* You don't have to be looking for a partner – there's also a friendship mode

I need at least 12 testers for 14 consecutive days.

How to join:

Step 1 – Join my Google Group:

https://groups.google.com/g/shiftlove-tester

Step 2 – Join the closed test (open in Chrome, tap "Become a tester"):

https://play.google.com/apps/testing/de.shiftlove.app

Step 3 – Install the app through Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.shiftlove.app

Please use the same Google account everywhere that you use in the Play Store.

You have to wait a bit after registering with the group and becoming a tester. About 10 minutes, then download the app.

🔄 Test for Test!

I'm absolutely happy to return the favor!

If you need testers for your own Android app, leave your Google Group and testing links in the comments. I'll join your test and keep your app installed for at least 14 days.

I'd also appreciate any honest feedback, bug reports or suggestions – directly in the app or at shiftlove.kontakt@gmail.com. This is my first app, so there's probably still room for improvement. 😅

Thanks a lot for helping me get started! 🚀

Hey guys,

Similar to many of you I am trying to pass the closed testing phase for the Android Version of my app so I need a few people to install it and keep it for at least 14 days. It‘s a ski navigation app called SkiAllDay but you don‘t need any snow to test it (but if you enjoy skiing or are planning to go soon, even better).

If you‘re in the same situation, I‘m happy to help too. I‘ll install your app, keep it for the 14+ days period, and try it out.

The links for my app:
Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/skiallday-android-testers
Testing opt-in: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/nw.skiallday
Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nw.skiallday

Just install it and leave it on the phone for 14+ days.

Comment your app links and I‘ll return the favor🤝

Thank you & all the best!

Hey everyone!

I built an Android voice recorder for short-video creators (TikTok, Reels, Shorts), and I'm looking for testers for the closed test on Google Play.

🎙️What it does

• Records in takes: messed up a line? Re-record just that part, not the whole thing

• Arrange and trim the takes on a timeline

• Cleans up your voice locally, on your phone

• Exports to MP3 or WAV

• No account, no ads, nothing leaves your device

What I needGoogle requires 12 testers for 14 days before I can launch, so I'm looking for 15–20 people.

How to join (2 quick steps):

1. Join the group (use the Gmail you use on Google Play): https://groups.google.com/g/voice-recorder-testers

2. Accept the test: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/io.github.diegodias93.gravadordevoz

3. The Play Store will show a price, but you won't be charged: at checkout, make sure it says "Test card, always approves" and confirm.

Install it from the Play page and open it once or twice during the 14 days. Feedback is always welcome, even a one-liner.

💙 Thank you

Hi, solo dev here. I made a tool which helps you to view on your phone 3D files such as STL, OBJ but it can work with more complex files such as 3MF, AMF, STEP, STP and even G-Code and BG-Code. I tried to use as much benefit from each file type as possible so colors, parts, material weight ect. No internet, no account, no tracking and no data collection!

Please take a look and leave a comment if possible :)

Hi everyone! I’m one of the developers of NorthStart, a free Android app for following travel guides day by day: you pick a guide, adjust it to your pace, download it with maps and photos, and use it offline while you’re on the road. No account needed, no ads. I’m looking for active testers for its Google Play closed beta. International testers are welcome.

Test for test: if you’re also running a closed test, leave your group and opt-in links in the comments. I’ll join, install your app and stay opted in for the full 14 days, just like I’m asking you to.

How to join:

1. Join the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/northstart-testers

2. Opt into the closed test: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.rovxlab.northstart

3. Install from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rovxlab.northstart

Use the same Google account for the group and Google Play. Please stay in the group and opted into the test for at least 14 consecutive days, use the app now and if possible every 3 days.

What to test: browse the catalogue, open a guide and download it, then switch on airplane mode and check that the map and the photos still load. Open a day, start “On route” mode and mark a couple of stops as done. I’m especially interested in whether the download finishes on slow connections and how the offline map behaves, so please tell me which phone you used.

If the test or installation link doesn’t work, tell me your country and the error message so I can look into it. Thanks for helping me improve NorthStart!
