AppCrawl spider logo v0.1 · Early access

AI-powered app testing
that writes its own tests.

Let an LLM explore your mobile or web app, find bugs no one thought to test, and turn its runs into replayable suites. Bring your own API key.

Three ways to test

One CLI. Mobile, web, CI — your call.

🧭

Explore

Autonomous agent navigates your app, taps every button, fills every form, and logs anything that looks wrong. Great for catching regressions you never wrote a test for.

🎯

Steer

appcrawl run "sign up, verify email, reach dashboard". Natural-language instructions become reliable E2E tests — no selectors, no code.

📋

Suite

Extract tests from an explore session or write YAML by hand. Run in parallel, ship to CI, get Slack notifications, diff screenshots against baselines.

What you get

Everything you'd expect — plus the parts competitors charge $10k/yr for.

🌐 Mobile + web

iOS via Maestro, Android via adb, web via Playwright. One tool, three targets.

🧠 BYO LLM

Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, Ollama, OpenRouter. Your API key, your cost, zero vendor lock-in.

📸 Visual regression

Pixel-perfect screenshot diffing with pixelmatch. Save baselines, catch unintended UI drift.

🤖 GitHub Action

Drop-in composite action. PR comments, JUnit artifacts, exit codes CI understands.

📊 Static dashboard

HTML dashboard indexes every run. Deploy to Cloudflare Pages — zero infra.

💬 Notifications

Slack Block Kit + generic webhooks. Know the moment something breaks.
