Mac and IOS apps TestFlight Launchpad:

Indie iOS apps lean on TestFlight to collect real-world feedback before launch. IngrediList scans recipes and turns them into a shopping list, with 500 TestFlight spots opened to gather input. Testers are asked to weigh accuracy of ingredient scanning, UI/UX flow, bugs or performance hiccups, and features they’d want before a full release. [1]

Kiwi Notes is a lightweight language-learning app with smart flashcards and automatic pronunciation via Azure AI TTS, plus dual-language cards and offline saving. The TestFlight invite is live, and testers are asked to report on performance, playback, and UI clarity. [2]

Moneko is a shared-budget app built by two indie founders. The beta is on TestFlight with a waitlist; 638 people have joined. Beta perks include 1 year Plus plan for free and priority access for the next lifetime plan. Tech stack includes Flutter and powered by Supabase, and the app highlights features like Shared Budgets, Instant Notifications, WhatsApp Integration, Smart Logging, AI Sorting, 35+ Currencies, and Goal Tracking. Privacy First, Clean Interface round out the experience. [3]

These beta journeys show how indie teams translate feedback into real launches.
