What it is

Runway helps mobile teams coordinate app releases by bringing code, tickets, and builds into a shared view of what is shipping or expected to ship. It integrates with an existing toolchain and automates tasks such as branch cuts, version updates, ticket labeling, releases, and rollouts. Teams can share work-in-progress builds with non-engineers, while Build Distro provides unlimited users, builds, and retention. During a rollout, teams can monitor live release health and use customizable thresholds to halt, accelerate, or roll back deployment. Runway supports release workflows, approval gates, audit trails, and rollback tracking. Its integrations span app stores, version control, project management, CI/CD, communications, monitoring, analytics, and testing, with GitHub, Jira, Slack, CircleCI, and Datadog among the examples. The free Basic plan is Free Forever and supports up to two apps and four read-write users, with core release steps, notifications, alerts, and cloud integrations and automations. Runway is available via web, API, and self-hosting; its maker says it serves teams from small startups to Fortune 50 companies.
