Congratulations to the maker team! Shipping infra-heavy products deserve a lot of respect for the execution. ππ»

@istiakahmadΒ Thank you! Appreciate the kind words - infra has definitely been the hardest (and most rewarding) part to build π

π Hey Product Hunt! Sahil here, founder of NativeBridge.
For the past 14 months, weβve been building NativeBridge around a simple belief: mobile testing should reflect how users actually experience apps.
This matters now more than ever. Mobile apps today run on thousands of device variants, unstable networks, and performance-sensitive hardware - yet testing workflows are still slow, script-heavy, and disconnected from real-world usage. As teams ship faster and apps get more complex, this gap is only getting wider.
NativeBridge is our attempt to close that gap:
Start testing on real Android & iOS devices in seconds, without setup or infra headaches π±
Manually test and collaborate as if youβre holding the phone without passing devices, screenshots, or long feedback loops π
Describe a flow in plain English and let AI generate automated tests in Maestro and Appium π€
Catch real-device performance issues early including crashes, slow screens, FPS drops, CPU & battery problems π¨
Share a single Magic Link for every app version bringing builds, tests, and feedback all in one place β¨
This launch represents 14 months of iteration, hard infra work, and countless conversations with developers and QA teams. Today, weβre excited to finally put it in front of the community and learn from your feedback.
If you build or ship mobile apps, weβd love to hear how your team approaches testing today and where the pain really is. Weβll be here all day answering questions and learning from you.

@sahil_choudhary22Β My question is on the backend: are these bare metal devices or are you virtualizing on top of real hardware to handle the concurrency?
NativeBridge
@mohsinproductΒ Great question. We support both real physical devices and emulators, depending on the use case.
Under the hood, real-device sessions run on actual Android & iOS hardware (not OS-level virtualization), with a thin control layer for scheduling and concurrency. Emulators are used where speed or scale makes more sense, but anything performance or behavior-sensitive runs on real devices.
Sharing an image from our early days building NativeBridge with real phones wired directly to our servers. The infrastructure has evolved since, but the principle has stayed the same: real devices where it matters, emulation where itβs sufficient.
Happy to dive deeper if useful π
Congrats on the launch, @sahil_choudhary22Β ! As someone who knows the pain of maintaining a device lab (or dealing with slow emulators), the promise of instant access to real Android/iOS devices is huge. The 'Magic Link' feature for sharing builds seems like a game-changer for closing the feedback loop between devs and QA. Excited to try this out!
@sahil_choudhary22Β Hey Sahil and Manisha,
The updated landing page looks significantly better than the initial version you shared. The revamped product positioning and messaging now clearly defines what the product truly offers... excellent work incorporating my feedback so positively.
Manisha, your thorough walkthrough impressed me greatly that I wanted to hunt it but couldn't follow through. I'm proud to see this launch go live today, even though my health and travels prevented me from being there to hunt it.
Rooting for your success ahead. :)

@byalexaiΒ I knew that this tool would have you as a Hunter when I saw that high comment count! :D
@busmark_w_nikaΒ Appreciate it!
All the credit really goes to the team!
And when you see Nika in the comments, you know the launch (or the hunter xD) is serious.
minimalist phone: creating folders
@byalexaiΒ Yes, it gets serious when I show up! :DD
MultiDrive
@byalexaiΒ Looks like a great tool to make testing faster and more efficient! Congrats on the launch!
@tetianaiΒ It really is a great tool. And itβs very easy to use.
Thank you for the kind words. I wish you an amazing year ahead @tetianai !

@byalexaiΒ Thank you, Aleksandar!
Wishing you an amazing year ahead too! ππ
@byalexaiΒ From a QA perspective, real-device performance insights like FPS and battery data are huge. Nice to see that included. :D

Hey Product Hunt! π
Himanshu here, founding engineer at NativeBridge.
The past 14 months have been quite a ride. Alongside @sahil_choudhary22 and my teammates @anushka_bhandari and @bhavish_mayyar , we have been obsessing over one thing making mobile testing feel effortless.
If you have ever waited forever for a device to free up, juggled screenshots and screen recordings just to file a bug, or spent more time writing test scripts than actually testing yeah, we have been there too π That's exactly why we built NativeBridge.
What I'm most excited about with this launch: real Android and iOS devices ready in seconds π±, Magic Links that get your whole team on the same page β¨, and AI that turns plain English into working automated tests. No setup drama, no context-switching, no more "it worked on my device" conversations.
We have learned a ton from early chats with dev and QA teams, and today we are excited to hear from this community.
What's the biggest pain point in your mobile testing workflow? We're around all day would love to hear what's frustrating you π

What sets your product apart from the competition?

@michael_vavilovΒ Great question. In simple terms, we optimize for real-world app behavior, not just test results.
NativeBridge lets teams instantly use real devices, optionally let AI handle repetitive testing, and importantly - work off one shared link per app where all versions live. That link becomes a single source of truth for QAs, developers, designers, CX, and managers, instead of juggling files, screenshots, and tools.
It removes friction across the entire testing workflow, not just one step of it.

Hey Product Hunt! π
Manisha here. I work on solutions and growth at NativeBridge, and spend most of my time listening to teams building and shipping mobile apps.
What I hear most often isnβt about missing features, itβs about friction. Waiting for devices to free up, second-guessing test results, and stitching together screenshots or recordings just to explain a bug. Right before release, many teams end up asking: are we confident enough to ship this?
NativeBridge is built to reduce that friction. Real devices available instantly, automation thatβs easier to work with, clear performance signals, and one Magic Link that keeps everyone aligned. The goal is simple: make mobile testing feel calmer, clearer, and closer to how users actually experience the app.
If youβre shipping mobile apps, what usually causes the most stress right before a release? Iβll be here all day and happy to chat.

Congrats @sahil_choudhary22 on the launch! Looks impressive.
Curious to know what's different from existing market leaders like BrowserStack?
NativeBridge
@sachinjain024Β Thanks! BrowserStack does a great job at device access. Weβre focused on what happens around testing - combining real devices, AI-driven testing, and collaboration into one shared workflow. The Magic Link is a big part of that: one place where everyone sees the same app, on the same device, with the same context. We often describe it as Figma for mobile testing, which hasnβt really existed before.
While BrowserStack primarily serves QA teams, NativeBridge plugs in much earlier in the lifecycle - starting at development (via our VSCode/Cursor extension) and continuing through QA, reviews, and feedback, all in one flow (and one link).
