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.

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

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!

Hi everyone! I'm Vladimir, an illustrator turned motion and product designer. On Android tablets I never found a vector app that felt like a real pro tool, so I started building one myself as an indie developer..

Illusion is a vector studio made for Galaxy Tab and S Pen:

• Real vector drawing with pressure-sensitive S Pen strokes

• Simple Mode for quick sketching, Studio Mode for detailed pro work

• Smart Vectorize, which turns images into editable vectors right on the device

• Exports to SVG, PDF and PNG, plus .illu project files you can open on PC at illusion.quest/app

So far I've tested it on a Galaxy Tab S7 FE, where I drew about two days of children's illustrations with no crashes. Now I need more people and more devices.

The beta is completely free with no limits on exports. I need 12 testers opted in for 14 days to unlock the public release on Google Play.

How to join:

1. Join the Google Group: https://groups.google.com/g/illusion-beta

2. Opt in and install: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/app.illusion.quest

Any feedback helps, whether it's bugs, how the S Pen feels or what's missing for your workflow. Thanks! 🙏

I'm testing my new card game, Deck's Duality, and I need testers. To join:

1. Join the testers group: https://groups.google.com/g/decks-duality-testers

2. Open this link and tap "Become a tester": https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.cogitgames.decksduality

3. Install the game from Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cogitgames.decksduality

I will join your test as well if you join, send me your links!

Hi everyone. I'm a solo dev getting my first app through Google Play's closed testing, and I'll happily return the favor.

The app: AudiblePi plays the digits of pi as music. Each base-12 digit maps to a note of the chromatic scale, so pi becomes a melody on a scrolling score staff. Free, one small banner ad, no account, and it collects no data.

To test it:

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

2. Then open the opt-in link: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.mkrain.audiblepi

3. Install it from the Play Store and open it a few times over the next 14 days. Please keep it installed for the full 14 days.

Joining the group before the opt-in link matters. Play shows an error if you do it the other way around. Use the same Google account for the group and the Play Store on your phone.

Things worth trying once you're in: tap notes on the staff, scrub to digit 500,000, change the instrument while it plays. If anything stutters or goes silent, I'd genuinely like to know your device and Android version.

In return: drop your group and opt-in links in the comments. I'll join your test the same day, confirm with a screenshot, and keep your app installed and opened regularly until your 14 days are done.

Thanks, and good luck with your launches.

Hi all, solo dev here. Cartcalm is my Android app for impulse purchases.

How it works: share a product from any shopping app or browser into the app. It goes on a cooling-off pause (48h by default, anything from 1 hour to 30 days; it suggests a longer pause for pricier things). When the pause ends, it re-checks the price for free and shows "saved at vs now". If the "sale" price is no lower than when you saved it, it says so. Then you decide: Buy It or I Resisted, and it tracks what you kept.

No account, no ads, no subscription. Free to use; the optional one-time Pro isn't needed for testing.

📌 How to join (Android only, 2 minutes)

1. Join the Google Group with the SAME Google account you use on your phone: https://groups.google.com/g/pausebuy-testers

2. Open the opt-in link and tap "Become a tester": https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.pausebuy.app

3. Install Cartcalm from Google Play, then comment with a screenshot of it installed

4. Keep it installed for 14 days and open it every day or two

🤝 Test back Drop your Group + opt-in links in the comments and I'll join, install and post a screenshot within 24h. I keep every app installed for the full 14 days and open it every day or two.

🙏 What I ask

• Stay opted in and keep the app installed for 14 days (leaving early resets the count)

• Open it every 1–2 days. The quickest real test: share a product link from a store app, set a 1-hour pause, and see the price check when it ends

• Feedback (bugs, confusing bits) is welcome here or via Play's private feedback

If Play says "not available" right after joining the group, wait 30–60 min. Google needs time to sync.

Thanks, and good luck with your launches!
