The SwapLab Story

Launched on December 16, 2025, public.swaplab.net was built with a simple goal: to help beginner and professional developers—especially those with hardware limitations—compile and test their mobile app projects effortlessly.

Over a year later, the service has been incredibly well-received by the community. The metrics from our public infrastructure speak for themselves:

1,582+
Workflow Runs open_in_new
1.1k+
Capacitor Image Pulls open_in_new

Infrastructure & The Role of GitHub

It is important to acknowledge that the real hero behind the scenes handling this heavy computation is GitHub's infrastructure. The SwapLab service essentially acts as a "smart bridge" that orchestrates and triggers these workflows.

Once the Docker image starts running and the build process begins, our engine streams the live logs securely via WebSocket directly to your browser session in real-time.

100% Free for the Community

Whether you use the public (anonymous) version or this Private Builder, our service is completely free. There are no subscriptions, no premium tiers, and no hidden fees. These computing resources are provided "as is" to support the open-source ecosystem and the developer community.

To understand the limitations and fair use rules, please read our Privacy Policy & Terms of Service.

A Note from the Developer:

SwapLab is not a massive corporation or managed by a dedicated team. This service is entirely developed, funded, and maintained by me as a solo developer. This project is a labor of love that I work on purely in my spare time.

Because of this, I deeply appreciate your patience. Any bug fixes, server maintenance, or new feature additions are done whenever I have free time. Thank you for using SwapLab and being part of this journey! favorite
