Tired of the 12 testers / 14 days rule? I made a free open-source tool for synchronized swap rounds

If you created a personal Play Console account after Nov 13, 2023, Google requires 12+ testers for 14 consecutive days before you can request production access.

Solo devs get stuck here. That’s why I built Dozena.

  • ~13 devs per synchronized round.
  • 48h setup to join the group and opt in to each other’s tests.
  • 14 days of testing, with 3 short feedback reports per tester.
  • Public reliability ranking. Ghosting means losing priority.
  • Free during MVP, open source under AGPL-3.0.

Everyone tests each other, nobody tests their own app. Your reliability matters because everyone depends on the same 14-day window.

I need 26 devs for the first pilot. If fewer than 15 sign up in 10 days, I pivot.

Landing: https://dozema-nkdq.vercel.app/en

Criticism welcome, especially about flaws in this model.
