Recording full gameplay + voice on mobile (iOS/Android) from external playtesters is difficult due to OS restrictions, permissions, and fragmentation, so many mobile devs can't get recorded, shareable playtest sessions. Existing screen-recording tools are clunky or require manual steps by testers.
Why now: Mobile remains the largest gaming category; SDK distribution and cloud upload patterns are mature and testers are remote, so a specialized mobile playtest capture solution makes testing scalable.
A mobile SDK and optional companion app that automates screen + microphone capture, session metadata (device, OS, orientation), network logs, and uploads encrypted session bundles to the cloud. Includes a web dashboard for devs to review videos, transcripts, and performance metadata. Handles iOS background limitations via a guided companion app flow or TestFlight integration.
Built for: Mobile game developers (iOS & Android) who need recorded playtests from remote testers
