About:
Appium Desktop is a standalone graphical user interface for the Appium mobile automation server. It provides an inspector tool to view and interact with app elements, record user actions, and generate test scripts, making it easier to create and debug automated tests for iOS and Android applications.
Key Features:
  • Graphical Inspector for UI element identification
  • Session recording and script generation
  • Built-in Appium server management
  • Cross-platform support (macOS, Windows, Linux)
  • Direct interaction with mobile app elements for debugging
Use Cases:
  • Visual debugging and exploration of mobile app UI hierarchies
  • Recording manual interactions to create automated test scripts
  • Managing local Appium server instances for development and testing
Alternatives:
  • appium-inspector – Standalone inspector tool without the integrated server management and recording features of the full Appium Desktop.
  • selenium-ide – Primarily for web automation; Appium Desktop is specialized for native, hybrid, and mobile web apps.
