Rohan Chaubey
A good honest bake. Not flashy, but you'll finish the whole bagel.
Summary
Tophat by Shopify is an open-source macOS app that streamlines mobile development by pulling CI build artifacts and installing them directly on simulators or physical iOS and Android devices. It eliminates the need for developers to clone repositories or build locally just to test a colleague's pull request. By simply providing a branch name, PR number, or URL and a target device, developers can test changes in seconds. Key features include CI artifact installation to simulators and physical devices, plus Claude Code integration.

Give the agent a branch name, PR number, or URL and a target device. It finds the right build, installs it via Tophat, and you're testing in seconds.
The manual handoff is gone.
