Tapground runs iOS and Android UI tests written in plain English. Instead of selectors or XPath, a vision model reads the screen on every run and finds what you meant, so a moved button doesn't break the test and your app needs no SDK. It runs on iOS Simulators and Android Emulators with live preview and keeps a video and a screenshot per step. A test can reuse a value it read, wait for a verification email, and run on both platforms from CI with one command. 50 minutes free to start.

Could you build this?
Partial The plain-English test runner and dashboard are buildable, but reliably driving iOS simulators and Android emulators while a vision model grounds each step is hard infrastructure.
What it would actually take: The core loop is a vision-language agent that screenshots the device, picks a tap or swipe target, and executes it through XCUITest or WebDriverAgent on iOS and adb on Android. Making it fast, consistent, and cheap requires managed macOS build hosts for simulators, parallel emulator farms, caching of grounding results, and careful handling of flaky screens. That calls for mobile test-infrastructure engineering as well as applied vision and LLM work.
