Maestro is an open-source framework that makes UI and end-to-end testing for Android, iOS, and web apps simple and fast.
Write your first test in under five minutes using YAML flows and run them on any emulator, simulator, or browser.

• Getting Started
• Resources & Community

• Maestro Studio – Test IDE
• Maestro Cloud – Parallel Execution & Scalability

Maestro is built on learnings from its predecessors (Appium, Espresso, UIAutomator, XCTest, Selenium, Playwright) and allows you to easily define and test your Flows.

By combining a human-readable YAML syntax with an interpreted execution engine, it lets you write, run, and scale cross-platform end-to-end tests for mobile and web with ease.

• Cross-platform coverage – test Android, iOS, and web apps (React Native, Flutter, hybrid) on emulators, simulators, or real devices.
• Human-readable YAML flows – express interactions as commands like launchApp, tapOn, and assertVisible.
• Resilience & smart waiting – built-in flakiness tolerance and automatic waiting handle dynamic UIs without manual sleep() calls.
• Fast iteration & simple install – flows are interpreted (no compilation) and installation is a single script.

Simple Example:

# flow_contacts_android.yaml

appId: com.android.contacts
---
- launchApp
- tapOn: "Create new contact"
- tapOn: "First Name"
- inputText: "John"
- tapOn: "Last Name"
- inputText: "Snow"
- tapOn: "Save"

Maestro Studio Desktop is a lightweight IDE that lets you design and execute tests visually — no terminal needed. It is also free, even though Studio is not an open-source project. So you won't find the Maestro Studio code here.

• Simple setup – just download the native app for macOS, Windows, or Linux.
• Visual flow builder & inspector – record interactions, inspect elements, and build flows visually.
• AI assistance – use MaestroGPT to generate commands and answer questions while authoring tests.
