Test real products. Capture undeniable evidence.

The field-testing & bug-reporting app for hardware and product testers — iPhone, iPad & Android.

Record your screen and the product itself in one video, timestamp burned in. Tap once to save the 15–30 seconds you didn't see coming. Run test protocols, then hand back a PDF a developer can act on — with on-device AI when you want it.

For people who test physical products, not app builds.

Not an app-beta tool. BetaSuite is for people who beta test physical hardware in the field — robot mowers, vacuums, drones, e-bikes, smart-home gear — and the companion apps that ship with them. Timestamped photo and video evidence, structured feedback, and a clean PDF report for the manufacturer.

See it in action

One phone, filming a robot mower and its companion app at the same time — dual recording with the date, time, GPS and weather stamped in live, exactly as it looks on device.

Capture

Screen + camera, instant replay, voice memos, photos.

Annotate

Draw, pin, and timestamp every clip and screenshot.

Report

Auto session summaries developers can actually read.

Built for the tester, not the vendor.

The mainstream beta-testing tools instrument the product. BetaSuite instruments the tester.

The problem

Bug already gone by the time you hit record?

BetaSuite's answer

A rolling 15- or 30-second buffer keeps the moment alive — one tap saves what just happened.

The problem

Camera and screen at the same time?

BetaSuite's answer

Your rear camera sits picture-in-picture inside the screen recording — one MP4, not two files to sync. No tripod, no second phone.

The problem

Cloud AI is a leak risk on NDA hardware?

BetaSuite's answer

Confidential Mode runs Apple Intelligence fully on-device. AI polish without the network risk.

What's inside

Capture every moment

Dual recording, instant capture, live overlays.

Records your screen plus your rear camera — front lens if you prefer — with audio, into one composited video file while you switch apps. Tap once to save the last 15–30 seconds from a rolling buffer — perfect for intermittent glitches you couldn't predict. Every photo and video gets the date and time burned into the exported file's pixels — not a player overlay, not just metadata — GPS, weather and device info optional. Trim the dead time off a clip in-app afterwards — quick, with one-tap undo.

Test protocols & checklists

Run Pass/Fail, rating, NPS, or multiple-choice checklists — AI-drafted, or shared as a pack.

Build a reusable protocol, let BetaSuite Assist draft one from a sentence, or read one straight off a PDF or photo of a manufacturer's list. Each step can be Pass/Fail, a 1–5 rating, a 0–10 NPS score, or multiple choice, with an optional required photo, video, or dual recording — every verdict lands in the report. Hand a whole set to your testers as a copy-paste code or a file: no server, no account.

AI-assisted reports

A polished PDF or DOCX in seconds.

Pick a period — this week, last week, custom range — and BetaSuite drafts a structured report (theme, positives, issues, recommendations) as scannable bullets. Sort images into Condition, Mapping, and Additional sections yourself, or tap the AI sparkle on a photo for a suggested section — each section lands on its own page so the PDF reads like a deck of chapters. Per-project brand colour. Email it from the app.

Confidential Mode

On-device AI for NDA work.

Flip one switch and BetaSuite locks down cloud uploads, system share, and every cloud AI provider. On iPhone and iPad, Apple Intelligence keeps running fully on-device — no network call, ever — so AI polish and summaries still work on confidential hardware.

Built for hardware testers

Front, Side, Back, Under — angle-tagged from the start.

Multi-image condition shots with angle chips that pre-tag the next photo. Mapping screenshots and free-form additional photos live in their own report sections. Reverse-geocoded location and live weather baked in — Apple Weather on iPhone and iPad, OpenWeatherMap or Open-Meteo elsewhere. Drop in photos taken months ago and BetaSuite restores the original date, GPS, and the actual weather from that moment — not from when you uploaded. On Android, a live charge-port readout (volts, amps, watts) for power-delivery debugging; on iPhone and iPad, charging status, plug state, and battery level.

Cloud sync on your terms

Your Camera Roll, a folder your own cloud app syncs, or nothing.

BetaSuite has no server of its own — there is no account to create and nothing is uploaded for you. Save to your Camera Roll, or pick any folder on your device; if that folder lives in iCloud Drive, Google Drive, OneDrive or Dropbox, their own app syncs it. You can also export a portable .betasuite.json archive of your project data.

Two ways to use it

Not every tester needs the whole toolkit. Pick a mode the first time you open BetaSuite — and switch whenever you like.

Basic

When you just need the media.

Capture and nothing else: photos, video, dual screen-and-camera recording, and the last 15–30 seconds from the rolling buffer. Already shot it? Bring in a photo or clip from your camera roll or Files and BetaSuite bakes in its original date, time, GPS and the weather from that moment — not from when you added it. Everything is time-stamped and saved where you choose. No projects, no sessions, no reports — ideal when your write-up happens somewhere else.

Advanced

The full suite of tools.

Everything in Basic, plus projects and sessions, structured feedback, Pass/Fail, rating, NPS and multiple-choice test protocols, charge-port diagnostics, and the PDF or Word reports you hand to a developer.

A few honest answers

Why not just use my phone's camera and a notes app?

You can — until you have to write the report. The testing was never the hard part; turning what you saw into something an engineer can act on is.

Every BetaSuite capture carries a second-accurate timestamp burned into the frame, with GPS, weather and device state alongside it. That precision is the whole point: an engineer can read the time straight off your video and pull the device log for that exact second, so a fault becomes verifiable instead of anecdotal. A camera roll and a notes app give you "sometime Tuesday afternoon" — which is worse than useless when you are trying to line a fault up against a log.

Why is it a one-time purchase instead of free or a subscription?
Because it's a tool, not a tax. BetaSuite is local-first — there's no server running month after month, so your purchase isn't subsidising someone's cloud bill. One price, you own it, and there's no need to harvest your data or show you ads to keep the lights on.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Capturing, annotating, running test protocols and generating reports all work with no connection — everything lives on your device. Only three things ever reach out, and each is optional: weather for the overlay, cloud AI (on-device AI needs nothing), and posting a feature request.
I test under NDA. Is my data safe in this?
That's exactly what Confidential Mode is for: turn it on and every cloud path — sharing, export, cloud AI — is hard-blocked. Everything stays in encrypted storage on the device, there's no account, and nothing phones home by default. On newer iPhones you still get AI summaries, because Apple Intelligence runs entirely on-device; on Android, Confidential Mode simply means no AI.
Does the charge-port test show volts and watts on iPhone?
No — and that's an OS limitation, not a paywall. Android exposes voltage, current, wattage and battery temperature, so the charge-port test shows live numbers there. iPhones don't expose those sensors to apps, so on iOS you get charging, plug and battery state only. Everything else is identical across both platforms.

We've been testers in other people's hardware beta programmes more times than we can count — robot mowers, consumer gear. The testing was never the hard part. Turning what we saw into something an engineer could act on always was.

So the timestamp is mandatory and second-accurate, not optional. There is no account and nothing phones home by default. Confidential Mode exists because we test pre-release units ourselves and wanted to trust our own tool with them. And it's a one-time purchase, because it's a toolkit, not a tax.
