Today we’re introducing the TripMode beta program on TestFlight, giving you early access to the latest features to help you save data and browse faster, before anyone else. By using a TripMode beta version, you can help us improve the quality of new TripMode releases before they reach a wider audience, all thanks to your feedback.

We’re taking this opportunity to introduce a few new experimental features: bandwidth monitoring, privacy center, always-on mode, and more. We hope you’ll like them, and can’t wait to hear what you think.

How do I join?

You first need install TestFlight on your Mac.

After that, join the TripMode beta program using this public invitation link.

Follow the instructions on the screen to get started.

What will I get?

We will distribute pre-release versions of TripMode. This means that you will get early access to the latest features and bug fixes. You may occasionally encounter some bugs or issues.

Who can join?

Anyone who meets the following criteria may join:

  • Have macOS Monterey 12.0 or later
  • Have TestFlight installed on your Mac
  • Already use the Mac App Store version of TripMode
  • If you purchased TripMode from our website or via Setapp and join the beta program, you won’t be able to use your existing license, and won’t be able to use your existing license, settings, profiles, and reports. This is because Apple’s TestFlight service is linked to the App Store, and doesn’t work with app’s distributed via other means.

There is a limited number of TestFlight spots available, which means that we reserve the right to remove users without prior notice to free up spots.

What is expected from me?

We encourage that you test TripMode, report improvement suggestions, issues or bugs. To report feedback, simply :

  1. Open the TestFlight app on your Mac.
  2. From the Apps list in the sidebar, select TripMode
  3. Click Send Beta Feedback.
  4. In the feedback dialog that appears, add your comments (up to 4,000 characters), and optionally enter your email address if you were invited with a public link.
  5. Optionally, attach a screenshot by clicking Attach Screenshot.
  6. Click Submit.

Note: You can drag and drop screenshots into the feedback text field.

Thank you for helping us improve TripMode, as your feedback helps shape its future.
