TestFlight Seat Monitor

Monitor available TestFlight beta slots with smart app name lookups and silent batch checking. Get alerted only when seats open up.

What It Does

  • Lookup TestFlight codes → app names using community data
  • Check single URLs for immediate status
  • Batch monitoring with state tracking (silent by default)
  • Only alerts on changes (full → available)
  • Configurable intervals (30min - 3hr recommended)

Why This Exists

TestFlight betas fill up fast. This skill:

  • Monitors multiple betas in one job
  • Stays silent unless something changes
  • Uses human-readable app names (not cryptic codes)
  • Tracks state across checks to detect transitions

Installation

clawhub install testflight-monitor

Or clone from GitHub:

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills
git clone https://github.com/jon-xo/testflight-monitor-skill.git testflight-monitor
cd testflight-monitor

Initial Setup

⚠️ Important: config/batch-config.json is user-specific and NOT shipped with defaults.

1. Initialize your config (one time)

cp config/batch-config.example.json config/batch-config.json

2. Add your TestFlight URLs

./testflight-monitor.sh add https://testflight.apple.com/join/YOUR_CODE_HERE
./testflight-monitor.sh add https://testflight.apple.com/join/ANOTHER_CODE
./testflight-monitor.sh list

3. Verify it works

./testflight-monitor.sh batch
# Output: SILENT: No status changes detected. (or alert if available)

Quick Start

# Every hour check
openclaw cron add \
  --name "TestFlight Monitor" \
  --every 60m \
  --target isolated \
  --message "Run TestFlight batch check: ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/testflight-monitor/testflight-monitor.sh batch. If output contains 'SILENT', reply NO_REPLY. Otherwise announce the findings."

Quick Start

4. Set up automated monitoring (cron - optional)

# Check every hour, silent unless slots open
openclaw cron add \
  --name "TestFlight Monitor" \
  --every 60m \
  --target isolated \
  --message "Run: ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/testflight-monitor/testflight-monitor.sh batch. If output contains 'SILENT', reply NO_REPLY. Otherwise announce the findings."

Commands

Core Commands

lookup <code>
Look up app name by TestFlight code

Configuration Files

batch-config.json

User-specific monitoring list. Not shipped with defaults; created during initial setup.

Example structure:

{
  "links": [
    "https://testflight.apple.com/join/YOUR_CODE_1",
    "https://testflight.apple.com/join/YOUR_CODE_2"
  ],
  "interval_minutes": 60
}

Manage via CLI:

./testflight-monitor.sh add <url>
./testflight-monitor.sh remove <url>
./testflight-monitor.sh list

Or edit directly (config/batch-config.json)

custom-codes.json

Add private betas not in the community list:

{
  "BnjD4BEf": "OpenClaw iOS",
  "YOUR_CODE": "Your App Name"
}

Silent by Default

The batch checker only outputs when status changes:

  • full → available: 🎉 Alert!
  • full → full: Silent
  • available → full: Silent (you already got in, or missed it)

This prevents notification spam while keeping you informed.

Data Sources

Lookup table: awesome-testflight-link

  • Community-maintained list of 800+ public TestFlight betas
  • Updated via update-lookup command
  • Recommended: refresh weekly

Custom codes: User-defined in config/custom-codes.json

  • For private betas not in the community list
  • Higher priority than community list

Dependencies

  • curl - Fetch TestFlight pages
  • jq - JSON processing
  • bash - Shell scripting (macOS/Linux)

Examples

Monitor OpenClaw iOS Beta

cd ~/.openclaw/workspace/skills/testflight-monitor
./testflight-monitor.sh add https://testflight.apple.com/join/BnjD4BEf
./testflight-monitor.sh batch

Check Multiple Apps

./testflight-monitor.sh add https://testflight.apple.com/join/Sq8bYSnJ  # Duolingo
./testflight-monitor.sh add https://testflight.apple.com/join/b9jMyOWt  # Reddit
./testflight-monitor.sh list

Manual Status Check

./testflight-monitor.sh check https://testflight.apple.com/join/BnjD4BEf
