Shipy: Keyword Rank Tracker

See what your keywords actually earn. App Store analytics, rank alerts and Apple Ads now sit next to the research that found them — by an indie dev.

Find the keywords you can actually win — then write them straight to your App Store listing and see what they earn.

Shipy is App Store keyword research for indie developers: real search popularity, honest difficulty, a revenue overlay no other ASO tool has — and a direct line into App Store Connect, so what you find doesn't stop at a spreadsheet. Native on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

▸ REAL SEARCH POPULARITY Popularity comes from Apple's own search data — not scraped guesses. Know what people actually type before you spend a precious keyword slot on it.

▸ HONEST DIFFICULTY & OPPORTUNITY Every keyword gets a difficulty score built from the strength of the apps ranking for it today, and an opportunity score that balances demand against winnability. Green means go.

▸ CLOSE THE LOOP: RESEARCH → SHIP → MEASURE Connect your App Store Connect key and Shipy stops being a dashboard: it reads your live listing, writes your real keyword field back to Apple, and shows the downloads and proceeds that followed. Your .p8 stays in your iCloud Keychain — it never touches our servers.

▸ YOUR REAL FUNNEL Impressions, product page views and downloads, split by App Store search, browse and referrers — so you can tell a discovery problem from a conversion problem.

▸ WHAT TO DO NEXT One ranked plan across every tracked app: the next moves worth making, in order, each tapping through to the screen that makes it.

▸ RANK ALERTS Rank movements arrive as push notifications, with a daily digest at a time you pick and per-app control over what may notify you. The "What changed" inbox keeps the history.

▸ METADATA HEALTH SCORE Grade your name, subtitle and keyword field out of 100. Apple indexes all three as one bag of words, so a repeated word quietly burns characters you paid for. Shipy finds every one and drafts the rewrite.

▸ RANK HISTORY, SEASONALITY & TRENDS Rank history for every keyword and storefront, when each keyword peaks across the year, and the category leaderboard week over week.

▸ REVENUE-ATTRIBUTED ASO The feature we built Shipy for. Connect RevenueCat and overlay real revenue on your rank history — so you stop guessing which rankings matter and start seeing which ones pay rent. Read-only, and Keychain-only.

▸ APPLE ADS The paid side of every keyword: impression share, paid rank, taps and installs, per storefront.

▸ YOUR REVIEWS, ANSWERED Read and reply to every review across every storefront, and filter to the ones still waiting on you. Shipy mines them for the phrases your own users reach for.

▸ COMPETITOR X-RAY (Pro) Reverse-engineer the keywords any app ranks for: the terms they win, the gaps they missed.

▸ A WORKBENCH, NOT A SPREADSHEET Tags, notes and bulk actions across your whole keyword set. Filter by tag, note, rank or metric, or use presets like Quick wins. Share a research card, export or import any set.

▸ WORKS WITH YOUR AI ASSISTANT An embedded MCP server with copy-ready setup for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, VS Code and Gemini. Research keywords and manage your lists in plain language.

▸ TRULY NATIVE One purchase, every platform. A sortable keyword table on Mac and iPad, a fast one-handed list on iPhone. SwiftUI, no web views.

FAIR PRICING FOR BURSTY WORK

ASO happens in bursts — a launch week, a big update — then goes quiet. Shipy's pricing respects that:

• Free: research your first 10 keywords free, for life — no card, no trial. • Credit pack: a one-time 25-credit top-up. Credits never expire. • Shipy Pro: unlimited research, competitor analysis, and revenue overlay.

HONEST BY DESIGN

When a data source degrades, Shipy says so — stale data is marked stale, never dressed up as fresh. No fabricated numbers, and nothing reaches your listing without your approval.

Your next keyword is sitting in someone else's subtitle. Go find it.
