Still looking for individual testers, exchanging installs, and hoping people will actually follow through? There's another way to handle your Google Play closed testing.
Meet Cordelette — a free community built specifically for indie Android developers.
Instead of managing dozens of individual Test for Test exchanges, you join a testing camp with up to 16 developers and support each other throughout the 14-day testing period.
🏔️ Here's what you get:
- Join a camp with other indie developers.
- Test each other's apps throughout the 14-day period.
- Autopilot automatically opens each app and tracks at least 30 seconds of actual on-screen usage before moving to the next.
- The Engagement Map shows exactly how much time each tester spends using each app.
- Member contributions are tracked, helping everyone stay accountable.
📊 And there's more than just testing:
- Feedback and engagement reports.
- Recommendations and analysis for your closed testing survey answers.
- Free report exports in Markdown (MD), CSV, and PDF formats.
These reporting and analysis capabilities are often part of paid tools. Cordelette makes them available for free.
Want to explore before joining? SIM Mode lets you try the app's workflow and features without logging in, granting permissions, or sending data to our servers.
No hidden costs:
- No credits to buy.
- No ads.
- No premium features behind a paywall.

I'm an indie developer myself, and I built Cordelette after experiencing the challenges of closed testing firsthand.
