Every ASO tool tells you what to do, then leaves you in the App Store Connect form. ShipASO does the work — and reads the rank back to check it worked.
The plugin is free and MIT — run the whole loop yourself in Claude Code. Or let the hosted agent run it on a schedule.
The data tools — Astro, AppTweak, Sensor Tower — sell numbers and a dashboard. You read them, then go do the work yourself. ShipASO closes the loop: it picks the keywords, writes the metadata, hands you the exact push commands, and then reads your actual organic rank for each term and logs it over time.
The rank check is free and needs no account. The public iTunes Search API returns apps in the store's own ranking order, so your app's spot in the results is its rank for that keyword. We just read it — and keep reading it, so you see the change land.
Ran it on a meditation app: #44 for "agnostic," #84 for "aurelius," nowhere for "meditation." That's the strategy working — you don't outrank Calm for "meditation," you own the terms you can win. So the subtitle became "stoic, without religion."
Field by field vs. ASO best practice, including a screenshot score. Read-only — it changes nothing.
Store autocomplete, competitor listings, your reviews, and your app's actual ranks. No paid data API.
Name, subtitle, keyword field, promo — verified to the character, with the reasoning for every choice.
It writes the metadata and the exact asc/gplay commands. The approval gate is in code; nothing ships until you say so.
It logs your organic rank per keyword over time, in any of 14 markets — so you see a dated before/after, not a vibe.
The hosted agent re-runs weekly, watches competitors, and drafts the next fix — pinging you only when there's a real move.
Same engine at every tier — more autonomy as you go up. We never hold your store credentials; the push is always a handoff you approve.
Run the agent yourself.
One full optimization pass.
It keeps working on its own.
For agencies + multi-app devs.
We never resell Apple/Google data through a shared account — that breaks their terms. Every credentialed source is your own.
Research → ship → verify, not just advice. The only tool that reads the rank back after you change the listing.
The hosted agent re-checks ranks, watches competitors, and drafts the next optimization on a schedule — surfacing each decision for you to approve.
The full operational loop on Android — the lane no public tool covers end to end.
Reasons over free signals. Your own keys are an optional accelerator, never a gate.
