Free macOS ASO tool undercuts SensorTower subscriptions with one-time Pro pricing.

Strengths
  • Local-first architecture keeps sensitive keyword data off cloud servers entirely.
  • One-time Pro pricing disrupts the standard $200/month ASO SaaS model.
  • Open-source codebase allows auditing of the difficulty scoring algorithm and data.
Weaknesses
  • macOS only limits reach for Windows-based marketing teams or agencies.
  • Unclear how real-time keyword volume data is fetched locally without backend.
Target Audience

Indie iOS developers, App marketers

Post Description

The project that I started out of frustration turned into an application that replaced all other ASO tools I have been using. Sharing here so I hope it helps others as well.

It is called RespectASO and available at respectaso.com

Lots of features are free without any limitations: - Keyword popularity - Keyword difficulty - and a separate difficulty score for ranking in top 5, 10 or 20. - Opportunity scores - likelihood of ranking organically - Unlimited apps + searches - Estimated downloads per keyword per localization - Supports 30 different localizations - Country opportunity finder: Which country is the best to target for a given keyword - Automated daily updated ranking results for targeted keywords - ASO targeting advice - CSV export - Keyword trend charts - Bulk operations

Automation features are monetized for a one time fee, and they aim to automate hours of work into minutes with one click: - AI Niche Researcher: Enter a keyword, get a complete ASO strategy. The agentic engine analyzes competitors, discovers keyword opportunities, and generates constraint-compliant metadata: title, subtitle, and keyword field. - AI Competitor Analyzer: Paste any App Store URL. The agentic engine reverse-engineers their keyword strategy, identifies gaps, and generates a differentiated counter-strategy with validated metadata. - AI Competitor Analyzer: Paste your title, subtitle, and keyword field. Get an instant ASO Readiness Score (0–100) with keyword-by-keyword breakdown, competitor comparison, and 3 improved variants per field.

And it is open source and the repo is available at https://github.com/respectlytics/respectaso . If you support the open repo, please feel free to leave a star.

I hope it adds value to the community. I appreciate any feedback.

Upload App Store Screenshots Directly from Figma to App Store Connect

It removes the boring middle step — pick frames in Figma, validate sizes, preview store pages and push straight to App Store Connect with smart ordering and multi-locale support. Not groundbreaking if you're already scripting with Fastlane, but the one-click Figma → App Store UX is genuinely useful for small teams and marketers who hate manual exports; I’d want clarity on API limits and how it handles complex localization pipelines before buying.

OpenCode Upgrade Skill: Automating Updates

This is a focused, practical wrapper that encodes the right sequence of commands — brew --repo to find the tap, git -C ... pull --rebase to force-update a custom tap, brew upgrade, hash -r, then opencode --version — and exposes it as a single OpenCode skill. Not revolutionary, but the attention to real pain points (correct tap path across architectures, forcing a tap git pull, refreshing the shell hash and verifying the binary) makes it a handy, low-friction tool for anyone maintaining or using a Homebrew-distributed CLI.

Automate Mac with Codex: macOS Control MCP Demo

Lets agents actually see the screen and act on it by returning OCR text with pixel coordinates and offering commands like click_at, type_text, and press_key. You can run it instantly with npx (it auto-creates a Python venv and hooks into Apple Vision/Quartz), and there are ready-made integration snippets for Claude, VS Code, and Cursor — a pragmatic, technically neat tool for closed-loop agent UI work. It’s limited to macOS 13+ and Apple APIs, but within that niche it removes a lot of friction.
