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

./testflight-monitor.sh lookup BnjD4BEf
# Output: OpenClaw iOS

check <url>
Check single TestFlight URL for availability

./testflight-monitor.sh check https://testflight.apple.com/join/BnjD4BEf
# Output: Status: full | App: OpenClaw iOS

batch
Check all configured URLs (silent unless status changed)

./testflight-monitor.sh batch
# Output: SILENT: No status changes detected.
# Or: 🎉 **OpenClaw iOS** beta now has open slots! https://...

Configuration Commands

list
Show all monitored URLs with app names

./testflight-monitor.sh list

add <url>
Add URL to batch monitoring

./testflight-monitor.sh add https://testflight.apple.com/join/Sq8bYSnJ

remove <url>
Remove URL from batch monitoring

./testflight-monitor.sh remove https://testflight.apple.com/join/Sq8bYSnJ

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

Version History

1.0.0 (2026-02-11) - Initial release - Unified architecture (lookup + single + batch in one skill) - Silent-by-default batch monitoring - CLI-based configuration - Community lookup table integration

这是一款功能完整、实用性强的监控工具。它能将 TestFlight 链接转换为易读的应用名称，支持批量检查且只在有变化时通知，不会产生骚扰。社区数据覆盖了数百款应用，状态追踪功能可以记住上次检查结果。不过文档中有少量重复内容，配置文件示例不够完整，新用户首次配置时可能需要多花些时间摸索。
