Help test Netli.fyi, a Netlify client for iOS (and soon Android)

I've been building a small project that I've wanted on my own phone for a long time: Netli.fyi, a native iOS client for Netlify. It gives you quick access to your sites, build logs, domains, and account info without needing to open a laptop. It's now at a point where it needs real world testing, which is where you come in.

If you use Netlify even a little, I'd love your help trying the beta. In case you’re inpatient, here’s the link to the TestFlight.

Didn’t you build this app already once before?

Yes, I did. You can find the original announcement here. I eventually had to pull the app from the app stores because updating it was eating up my time (the app was mostly free and I had to focus on my actual job). During the years it’s been out of the app stores, some users have been emailing me with bug reports and feature requests, so I decided to finally answer all of those users and bring the app back.

What Netli.fyi does

Netli.fyi's goal is simple: take the parts of Netlify you check often and make them fast and comfortable on iOS.

Manage sites

You can browse all your sites at a glance with deployment status, frameworks, and thumbnails. There's a full editor for environment variables, plus access to build settings like build command and publish directory.

Build and deploy tools

You can trigger builds right from your phone and watch deploy logs update almost in real time. Deploy history is there too, so you can spot failures quickly.

Domain and DNS access

You can view your DNS zones, inspect individual records, and copy name servers or domain info with one tap.

Account support

The app supports multiple teams and profiles. You can switch between them easily, check your stats, and pick light or dark mode based on your system settings.

Under the Hood

For anyone curious about the tech, the app is built with a modern React Native stack: Expo with the new architecture, Expo Router for navigation, Jotai for state, TanStack Query for data, and NativeWind for styling.

In short, it aims to feel fast.

Want to Join the Beta?

Here’s a TestFlight link, I’ll try to add the Android version soon as well.

Before launching the first public version, I want to be sure the app feels right in actual day to day use. I'm mainly looking for feedback on:

  • Performance. Does the app feel quick on your phone?
  • Navigation. Are the screens and flows clear?
  • Bugs. Crashes, odd UI behavior, broken states.
  • Missing features. What would you expect from a mobile Netlify client?

Thanks for taking the time to read this and for helping me shape the app.
