How it works

One app. Your whole
build loop.

01 FOR YOU

Show your DEV.
Build in public.

Post updates, screenshots and videos to a feed made only of builders. Drop a DEV story about what you shipped today and it shows first in everyone’s row.

  • Share updates, images and video, and choose who can reply
  • Newest-first feed. No algorithm burying your launch
  • “Ask AIR about this” on any post
02 VALIDATE

Real testers.
Honest verdicts.

Submit your app and builders test it. Read every verdict, rating and note, then reply to the tester directly. You test theirs, they test yours.

  • Web, iOS, Android and AI projects
  • Built for Google Play’s 12-tester, 14-day closed test
  • Relaunch a listing whenever you ship a new build
03 AIR

An advisor that
reads your product.

Paste your App Store, Google Play or website link. AIR asks your permission, reads the product, then gives you direct feedback: what to fix first and what to test next.

  • Attach screens, decks or docs for review
  • See where your testers dropped off
  • Find the people who would benefit from your product
04 SUPPORT

Get backed by
people who get it.

Builders can support your build with a one-off or monthly tip. It lands in your Teckheads Balance, ready to withdraw to your bank once it clears.

  • One-off and monthly support
  • Custom support icons on your builds
  • Payouts handled securely by Stripe

Anyone can support a builder. Receiving support is part of Teckheads Pro (18+, identity check).

Validate

Need testers?
We built a whole tab.

Google Play asks new developers to run a closed test before launch. Validate puts your build in front of builders who test for real, and you return the favour.

FAQ

Questions,
answered.

Is Teckheads free?

Yes. Joining, posting, testing other builds, listing your own app in Validate and 15 AIR credits a day are all free. Verified and Pro add verification, unlimited AIR and tools for getting your product seen.

Who is Teckheads for?

Tech founders, indie hackers, developers and makers aged 16 and over who are building a product and want people around them who get it.

Can Teckheads help with Google Play’s closed test?

That’s what Validate is for. List your Android build, other builders opt in to test it, and your listing stays up for the 14-day window. You can test their builds in return.

What is AIR, and does it read my stuff without asking?

AIR is the AI founder advisor built into Teckheads. It only reads a link after you give permission, and it only reviews files you attach yourself.

How does support work?

Anyone can support a builder with a one-off or monthly tip. Pro members receive it into their Teckheads Balance and can withdraw it to their bank once it clears. Withdrawals need you to be 18+ and pass an identity check with Stripe.

Is it on iPhone and Android?

Yes. Teckheads is on the App Store and Google Play.
