What is tapflow?

tapflow is a self-hosted platform that streams iOS simulators and Android emulators to browsers, enabling entire teams to test mobile apps without cloud uploads or device management. It reuses existing Mac infrastructure, keeping app binaries and test data on your own network while providing a unified interface for both platforms.

Designed for mobile QA teams, backend developers, product managers, and designers who need simulator access without the overhead of physical devices or cloud services. The project describes itself as a self-hosted alternative to Appetize and BrowserStack. Built with Claude AI coding tools, it offers zero-buffer H.264 streaming, MIT-licensed open source code, and a two-line setup process.
