u/Conscious-Guide-2738

A small Android app I built for myself to make testing multiple beta apps less tedious. You pick a list of installed apps, and it opens each one for 30 seconds (or a set time), then returns to itself and moves on to the next — down the whole list. Handy when you're in a bunch of closed tests at once and just need to actually open each app regularly.

Install:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.testerapp.app

What it does

• Select any apps installed on your phone
• Opens each for a set time (default 30s, you can change it)
• "Closing" just means it returns to itself — it doesn't force-stop anything
• Randomize order and Repeat (loop) options
• Templates: save a group of apps and re-check them all with one tap
• Checks off each app as it runs, so if you stop partway you can see where you left off

Permissions it asks for, and why

• Display over other apps — required so it can bring itself back to the foreground after each app (Android blocks this otherwise)
• Notifications — shows a progress notification with a Stop button
• It lists your installed apps so you can pick them

It has no internet permission, no accounts, no analytics — nothing leaves your phone.

Notes

• Some phones (Xiaomi/MIUI, Oppo, etc.) have extra "background pop-up/auto-start" restrictions — if it can't return to itself, enable those for the app and turn off battery optimization for it.
• It's a rough personal build, so expect rough edges. Feedback welcome.

Hope it helps someone else juggling a pile of beta tests!
