A retainer service that runs automated real-device test flows for mobile apps (written as sentences) on a recurring schedule to catch edge-case bugs.

Problem it solves. Ensures app flows and edge-case bugs (e.g., timezone-related streak resets) are exercised regularly so founders don't miss bugs when attention is elsewhere.

Who pays. mobile app founders / small app owners (e.g., ~15k users)

Market. QA / automated testing services

How it makes money. $500/month per client retainer

Claimed. 4 people pay me $500 a month each
