I built a small iOS utility for grabbing RunPod instances faster, looking for TestFlight testers
Hey everyone,
I’ve been building a little iOS app called Runpod Hammer and I’m opening up a public TestFlight beta.
TestFlight link:

The basic idea: if you use RunPod and keep fighting for GPU availability, this app helps you watch for capacity and try to grab a pod from your phone instead of manually refreshing. It will provision a pod with with customizable limits, autorun startup scripts, and has options to terminate or auto stop pods if you tend to "forget" your pod at 2am.
Current focus:
- Create/save RunPod launch profiles
- Check GPU availability
- Start “hammering” for a target pod when stock appears
- Keep useful pod/session info visible on mobile
- Make it easier to launch and access AI/dev pods without being chained to a desktop
This is beta, but I've been working in it for months. I’m mainly looking for people who already use RunPod for AI workloads, model hosting, ComfyUI, TabbyAPI/SillyTavern, LoRA training, dev boxes, or similar GPU chaos.
A few notes:
- You’ll need your own RunPod account/API key
- This is not affiliated with RunPod
- Don’t put production-critical workflow trust in it yet
- Feedback on confusing UI, failed launches, missing profile options, bad assumptions, and “why would you put that button there?” is especially useful
If you test it, I’d love to hear:
- What GPU/pod type you tried to target
- Whether launch/availability behavior matched what you expected
- What felt unclear or risky
- What would make it actually useful in your normal RunPod workflow
Thanks to anyone willing to kick the tires. This was built because I got tired of babysitting GPU availability manually.
