Beta culture is being rewritten by TestFlight betas, where onboarding, pricing signals, and feature priorities get shaped before launch. Indie developers lean on early access to test ideas, from pricing ideas to private feedback loops.
ToyQuy invites testers to play Barbie storytelling with AI voice and movement cues. Testers get early access, a direct channel to shape voices and features, and a spot in a private feedback group [1].
Juno Planner joins TestFlight with deep integrations: Calendar, Gmail, GitHub, Linear, and Todoist, letting teams plan across apps [2].
Gazo is 40 days into beta, focusing on polishing the interface, refining the onboarding, and finalizing the subscription flow as it eyes a public launch in the coming weeks [3].
SetStack is in open beta on TestFlight, offering offline, local-first workout tracking with no ads or paywalls. Testers weigh in on day-to-day feel and pricing/minimization strategy as IAP questions come up [4].
Dewp is seeking beta testers via TestFlight invites and promises lifetime premium access after testing, with a waitlist at www.dewpapp.com [5].
These early-access moves show onboarding and pricing signals are becoming as crucial as features in new Mac/iOS apps. Watch TestFlight cycles to see which ideas land first.
