Ascope

Ascope is a native Mac app for App Store Optimization.

Add your own iPhone or Mac apps, or a competitor's, and Ascope checks where they rank for every keyword in 50+ App Store countries once a day, then keeps that history forever, so you can finally tell what your last metadata update really did.

What you get

• Daily rank tracking across the top 200 App Store results in 50+ countries
• Apple's own popularity score, the same 5 to 100 scale Apple reports in Apple Search Ads. Estimates are marked with a ~ so you always know which is which
• Keyword difficulty from 0 to 100, based on the apps already ranking for the term
• Keyword ideas with popularity and difficulty already filled in, including searches where your app ranks in countries you don't track yet
• Ratings per country, with daily history and weekly change
• Competitors, including the apps Apple shows next to yours in You Might Also Like
• An MCP server, so Claude, Cursor or Claude Code can read your rankings and research keywords from chat

Native, and small

A 4.5 MB download, universal for Apple silicon and Intel, signed with a Developer ID certificate and notarized by Apple. No Electron and no web wrapper. Your apps, keywords and ranking history stay on your Mac; the servers only see the search terms and app IDs needed for a lookup.

Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later. Pro is $9.99 a month or $89.99 a year, with a full refund inside 14 days if it is not for you.
