Tophat is a macOS desktop application by Shopify for installing and testing mobile applications on iOS and Android devices with a single click. It fetches builds from CI artifact providers via URLs, Quick Launch, or the tophatctl CLI, and is extensible through the TophatKit SDK.

Use cases

install CI-built mobile app builds on devices without cloning repos
let contributors test pull requests on simulators or devices
quickly launch the latest build of frequently used apps
manage and pin multiple test devices
integrate custom build and caching systems via extensions

When to choose

your team builds mobile apps with CI and wants one-click installs
you want testers to try PR builds without local builds
you need a launcher for frequently tested app builds on iOS or Android

When to avoid

you only develop web or desktop applications
you have no CI pipeline producing app artifacts
you need automated UI testing rather than app installation
