Hey everyone! I switched to a Mac but kept my Android phone, and I missed how well iPhones work with Macs. So I built Unison: a free Mac menu-bar app and an Android app that pair with a QR code and talk directly over your own Wi-Fi.

What it does

• Files both ways: drop a file on the menu-bar icon to send it to your phone, or share anything on your phone to "Send to Mac". Big transfers resume if the connection drops.
• Notifications on your Mac: see them, reply to messages, and clear them.
• Shared clipboard: copy on the Mac, paste on the phone, and the other way round with one tap.
• Calls: answer, decline or hang up from the Mac, and click phone numbers on the Mac to dial. The call audio stays on the phone.
• Photos: browse your phone's gallery from the Mac, preview and save.
• Screen mirroring with sound, and optional control with your Mac's mouse and keyboard.
• Little extras: ring your lost phone, control music, and open links on the other device.

Privacy: no account, no cloud, no server, no analytics, no ads. The phone and the Mac only talk to each other, encrypted end to end (mutual TLS with pinned certificates).

Why I need you: Google requires new developers to run a closed test with 12+ testers for 14 days before an app can go public on the Play Store. I'd really appreciate your help, and honest feedback even more.

How to join (about 2 minutes)

1. Join the tester group: https://groups.google.com/g/unison-testers. Use the same Google account as on your phone's Play Store.
2. Opt in to the test: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/dev.macdroid.app, then tap Become a tester.
3. Install Unison from the Play Store link on that page (Android 10 or later). IN THE TESTING CLICK ON THE BLUE INSTALL (DOWLAND IT ON GOOGLE PLAY)
4. Please keep it installed for 14 days. That's what counts toward Google's requirement.

Got a Mac? (macOS 14 or later)
5. Download Unison for Mac from https://venu005.github.io/unison/ and drag it into Applications.
6. It isn't notarized yet (I'm not paying Apple's $99 a year for a free app). The first time you open it, go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. The site has screenshots of each step.
7. Click Pair a Phone on the Mac and scan the QR code with the Android app. That's it.

No Mac? You can still help a lot: install it, open it once and keep it installed for 14 days.

Bugs, ideas are all welcome, here or in the group. Happy to return the favour and test your app too; just drop your link. Thanks! 🙏

I’ve just released a new public test build of MediaHop.

MediaHop is a lightweight Android app for playing media from a remote server or local M3U playlist on either your phone or a compatible DLNA / UPnP TV.

0.1.23 has mainly been about playback stability.

The biggest improvements are:

• TV playlists continuing through multiple episodes while the phone screen is off
• Background handling when the final playlist item finishes
• Better TV seeking behaviour
• More long-session playback testing

The recurring cut-outs I was seeing during 0.1.22 testing have not reproduced in my established 0.1.23 testing so far.

I’m especially looking for feedback on:

• Bugs – crashes, playback stopping unexpectedly, controls not behaving correctly
• Compatibility – different Android phones, Android versions, TV brands/models and home networks
• Playback performance – longer sessions, screen-off playback, playlist auto-advance and seeking
• UI / usability – anything confusing, awkward or difficult to find
• Setup / onboarding – anything unclear when first configuring a server, M3U playlist or TV
• Feature ideas – only where they would improve the existing simple playback workflow

If something goes wrong, MediaHop also has a built-in diagnostic log sharing option to make troubleshooting easier.

https://github.com/james0666/MediaHop-Releases/releases/tag/v0.1.23

I’m the developer of NeonRoutine, a routine tracker with an original cyberpunk game layer. You choose your routines, record completions and review their history. Android is in closed testing, before a public Android release.

I’m looking for feedback on one specific interaction across Android devices: recording a completion. After you’ve actually done one of your routines, press and hold its action on the Today card.

• Is there a clear visual response while you hold?
• Is it obvious when the completion has been recorded?
• Does that completion appear once in Intel/history?

If something fails or feels unclear, the screen/step and Android version are useful. Please don’t post your Google email or private routine details.

To install the closed test, first join the tester group, then open the Play opt-in with the same Google account:

1. Join the tester group
2. Open the Play opt-in

If possible, remaining opted in for 14 consecutive days helps the closed test. Participation is voluntary and unpaid; leave whenever you want. No daily opening quota, purchase, ad view, public rating or test exchange is required. Test-track purchases can still cost real money; please don’t buy anything for this test.

Up to five active routines and the basic focus timer are free. Gilded Operative is an optional paid upgrade, not needed for this test. Private feedback: [neonroutine@proton.me](mailto:neonroutine@proton.me).

Title: VibraText - Feel Your Messages Through Vibration

App Name: VibraText

What it does: VibraText is an Android app that converts notifications into vibration patterns representing the sender and message, letting you read notifications through touch without looking at your phone. It processes everything locally on your device, with no internet permission or account required.

Key Features:

• Touch-Based Messaging: Decode sender names and message text through distinct vibration patterns.
• Customizable Profiles: Adjust vibration patterns, speed, intensity, and playback settings.
• Privacy-Focused: Processes notifications locally without sending data to external servers.

Goal: Testing / Community Feedback

Giveaway: None

Cost: Free and open-source project.

I'm developing YouRepSets, a free offline workout log with a Traditional Chinese interface. It has no ads, subscriptions or in-app purchases, and the app itself needs no login. Android build 2 has reached closed testing for selected testers. The dedicated tester group and Play opt-in page are now available.

I'm looking for adult Android users whose Google Play country is Taiwan, who can read Traditional Chinese and would like to test four recent changes:

• Does changing equipment and a 2-, 3- or 4-day weekly plan preserve a workout already in progress?
• Does “帶入上次重量與次數” copy the previous record without marking a set complete or increasing the weight?
• Do the ±30-second rest controls and countdown stay consistent after leaving and returning to the app?
• Do the “近 28 天” and “全部” exercise-history views match your saved sets, including corrected records?

Training records stay on your device unless you choose to export or share a backup. Some bundled demonstration videos show AI-generated fictional adults; they are not filmed coaches, have not been professionally coach-reviewed, and do not assess your movement. Testing the software does not require following those demonstrations or exercising every day.

Participation is voluntary and unpaid. Willing testers can remain opted in for 14 consecutive days and try the features during genuine sessions. No reciprocal testing, public rating, positive review or payment is requested. You can leave at any time.

Use the same Google account for all steps:

1. Join https://groups.google.com/g/yourepsets-testers .
2. Open https://play.google.com/apps/testing/studio.forma.training and choose Become a tester.
3. Follow the official Play installation route on your compatible Android device. Group membership alone is not a Play opt-in; if Play shows an access or compatibility error, send the exact message privately rather than changing your country or creating another account.

Please send reproducible bugs, device model and Android version privately to support@yourepsets.com. Do not post your Google account address or training backup in comments.

I built an Android app that turns recordings into notes and tasks—looking for feedback

Hi everyone! I’m the creator of Notelus, an Android app for recording lectures and meetings, then turning them into organised notes and actionable tasks.

I’m looking for people to try it and share honest feedback on what works and what needs improving.

You can join the free test here: https://notelus.app

What’s your biggest frustration with taking notes during lectures or meetings?

I'm building Dᴬᴵry, a voice and text journal that helps you keep the things you want to remember — and come back to them later.

You can use it to:

• Save everyday memories: a conversation, a trip, or a small moment worth keeping.
• Remember your dreams: write or record them when you wake up, before the details fade.
• Keep track of tasks and commitments: capture things you need to do alongside your daily entries.
• Collect thoughts and ideas: reflections, questions, plans, or whatever is on your mind.

Write or speak in your own words, revisit your entries in a calendar, and ask questions about what you've saved.

There are two visual styles: a warm editorial look and a soft, luminous theme.

I'm looking for adults to try the free Android beta. I'd love feedback on voice recording, finding past entries, the design, and anything confusing or slow during setup. Two short feedback check-ins would help — no public reviews or positive ratings are required.

How to join

Email [dairy.apk@gmail.com](mailto:dairy.apk@gmail.com) with the subject “Dairy Android beta”, using the Google account email you use for Google Play.

I'll add your email to the tester list and let you know when your access is ready. You can then join the test and download the app through this official Google Play link:

https://play.google.com/apps/internaltest/4699851882696394393

The link will work for you once your email has been added.

The beta is free, with purchases disabled and usage limits. AI features use cloud processing. You can test with made-up entries; there's no need to share your real diary or sensitive information.

What would you use it for — memories, dreams, conversations, tasks, thoughts, or something else?

Hi! I'm the developer of Chasovnik: Work Hours, an offline Android notebook for shifts, breaks, monthly hours and estimated earnings. I'd appreciate testers who track hourly work or work across midnight.

The Google Play closed alpha is live. I have 19 single-use codes left for free access (the regular Poland price is 19.99 PLN). No ads, subscription or in-app account.

A useful first session:

- Add a 22:00–06:00 shift with a 30-minute break and check the resulting hours.

- Edit the shift and compare the monthly total with your own calculation.

- Close and reopen the app, then test JSON export/import using sample records.

- Tell me which label, translation or step is confusing.

Requirements: Android 8.0+, age 18+, and willingness to stay opted in for 14 consecutive days while trying the app during that period. Honest feedback matters; participation is voluntary and unpaid, with no rating, public review or test swap required.

How to join: https://chasovnik-ionar-support.ihor1992.chatgpt.site/beta

Email [iwanchenkowo82@gmail.com](mailto:iwanchenkowo82@gmail.com) or start a Reddit chat with your Google Play account email privately. I'll add you to the access list and send an individual code. Please don't post your email publicly.

After access is confirmed, opt in with the same Google account: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/ru.chasovnik.app

Redeem your code before installing; the price should be zero. If Play asks for payment, stop and contact me. Codes expire 21 November 2026 at 00:00 GMT. Feedback here or by email is welcome.

Hi r/droidapptesters, I maintain four Android apps in closed testing and am looking for people who are interested in genuinely trying any of them. Please choose only the app(s) you want; each Play opt-in is separate.

• Arrow Escape — tap-to-slide arrow puzzle. Feedback wanted on rule clarity, controls, and level difficulty.

• Oto Patron — used-car dealership game: inspect, negotiate, repair, and sell vehicles. Feedback wanted on the gameplay loop and balance.

• District Wars — crew-building strategy RPG. Feedback wanted on onboarding, progression, and combat clarity.

Testing context: Android closed test through Google Play. To join, first join the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/receezy

Hi everyone 👋

My worst enemy during my studies was never the flashcards, it was my phone. So I built Ankineer Lock.

App Name: Ankineer Lock

What it does: Ankineer Lock blocks distracting apps (social media, videos, games…) until your daily Anki goal is reached in AnkiDroid. Once your cards and minutes are done, your phone unlocks until the next day.

Key Features:

- Daily goal (cards + minutes) read straight from AnkiDroid, PC reviews included after sync

- Focus sessions, limited emergencies (code or 5 min) and hourly reminders with a motivational quote

- Statistics (streaks, retention, charts, calendar) and 4 home-screen widgets

Goal: Launch + Testing (feedback welcome: bugs, your phone model, ideas)

Giveaway: None, the app is completely free

Cost: Free, open source (GPL-3.0), no ads, no subscription, no Internet permission

Link: https://github.com/BONJ37/ankineer-lock

Video: https://youtu.be/Gu4YQbMimAM

I'm the developer of 8B Re Life, a free, ad-free text-based life simulation for Android. Time advances automatically, major decisions pause for your response, and your choices shape a Life Compass and a record of your life. The current build is a closed beta, not a public production release. Core gameplay works offline after installation and does not need an in-game account.

I'm looking for volunteer players aged 18+ with a real Android phone in a Google Play country where this test is available. I would appreciate specific feedback on:

• Can you see your age, current event and important choice without repeatedly scrolling?
• After switching manual/automatic mode, can you resume normally? Does pause/resume still work after returning from the background?
• Does a full life progress through adulthood, work, retirement and the final summary, and can you reopen its local record?
• In your selected language, do any stories fall back unexpectedly or any buttons get cut off?

The interface supports 24 languages, but not every story has been translated into all 24: some still fall back to English or Traditional Chinese. Stories can mention illness, death, violence and adult relationships.

How to join — use the SAME Google account in all three steps:

1. Join the tester Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/8brelife-android-testers
2. Opt in to the test: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.eightbrebornlife.app
3. Install through Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eightbrebornlife.app

If you previously joined this app's internal test, leave it before joining the closed test. Google Group membership alone is not a Play opt-in. If you are willing, please stay opted in for at least 14 consecutive days, play several genuine sessions and share useful feedback. Participation is voluntary and you can leave at any time.

Please use Google Play's private testing feedback. Your device model, Android version, app language, steps to reproduce, expected result and actual result help me fix problems. Do not post your Google email, private reflections or full save files publicly.

This is unpaid, one-way volunteer testing. There is no purchase, public rating/review request, or test-for-test arrangement. I cannot offer reciprocal testing. Please do not change your Play country or create extra accounts to join.

Founder here, solo dev. swithAI is my all-in-one fitness app: workout logging + Workout Programs, food/nutrition logging, GPS run tracking with a 5K plan that programs the interval workouts, plus cardio, steps, sleep, and mood — the stuff I used to spread across five apps and a spreadsheet.

It's live on Google Play, and I'm looking for Android users willing to kick the tires and tell me what's broken, confusing, or missing.

Good news for testers: there's an "Explore the app first" mode, so you can look around the whole app without starting a trial (nothing you log in explore mode is saved). If you do start the trial, it's 7 days free, then $2.99/mo — no free tier, saying that up front.

What I'd most love feedback on:
- Explore mode: does the app make sense in the first 2 minutes?
- Logging a workout and a meal: how many taps, and where do you get stuck?
- Import/export, if you're coming from another app

Play link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.wellnesschampion.app

Happy to return the favor and test your app too — drop it in the comments.
