Why Developers Love Mason
Developer-First Hardware Solutions
Hardware doesn’t have to be hard.
Fast, Fearless Development
Build a custom Android OS in seconds. Use a simple YML file to standardize the OS across your fleet — increasing reliability and decreasing testing time.
Control through Code
Control every aspect of your development with code — from OS configuration to hardware functionality to update conditions.
Speed through Automation
Use automation to spend less time testing, releasing, and provisioning, and more time building great features.
Predictable Hardware
Build your app for consistent, reliable infrastructure. Stop spending cycles refactoring and testing every time consumer hardware changes.
A Modern, Dev-First Tool Kit
Modern products and features designed to make building mobile products fast and fun.
CLI
Leverage our CLI to register artifacts, start OS builds, make deployments, and more. Designed to enable modern workflows, the CLI allows you to bring CI/CD to your mobile product development.
APIs
From managing your fleet of devices, to giving your app control of the hardware, to analyzing your cellular data usage, everything at Mason is available through a developer friendly API.
Immutable OS
Bring Docker-like predictability to deployments by packaging all your artifacts— including a custom OS, your apps, and media— into a single immutable image that can be deployed to your fleet.
Remote Access
Streamline testing and debugging with real-time remote ADB access to any device in your fleet. Pull logs, manage files, or even remotely control the device to quickly troubleshoot issues in the field.
“Honestly this is amazing, you guys are blowing me away…This is exactly what you want as a developer for this kind of use case, it’s exactly what we need. It’s set up like modern build tools are, not this backwards weird thing.”
