How it works

Set it up once.
It checks every morning after that.

  1. 01

    Track the searches you want to win

    Add your app by name or App Store link, then the searches that matter. Each gets its rank, popularity and difficulty, every morning, in every country you pick.

    See what each update did

    New versions are spotted automatically and marked on your visibility chart. Every search is compared before the release, and 3, 7 and 14 days after.

    Fix your listing before you ship

    Paste your name, subtitle and keyword field. Keywatch flags wasted words, duplicates and category words Apple already indexes, then suggests the words that complete your searches.

    Find the searches rivals win

    Your rank next to every competitor’s, for every search. The gaps, where they’re in the top 50 and you aren’t, come first. You’re told when they change their listing.

    Head-to-head ranks against competitors for every tracked search, gaps first

Ask your agent where you rank.

Keywatch has an MCP server built in. Your agent can read your ranks, research searches, check a listing draft and write the weekly report, all from your Mac’s own data.

Which searches should Gaffer Arcade go after next?
head_to_head · gb research_keyword · who are ya

“who are ya” is the best bet. It’s popular (~41) and its top 10 is beatable (difficulty 29), but you’re only #79 while a rival is #1.

Next is “football quiz” (~38), where you just climbed from #87 to #44 after 1.0.12.

FAQ

Good questions.

Where do the numbers come from?

Straight from the App Store’s own public search, autocomplete, product page, chart and review endpoints, asked from your Mac. iPhone ranks are Apple’s real order down to #250. On the Mac App Store the first dozen are exact and later ones approximate (marked ≈).

How is popularity worked out?

Apple only shows its score inside Apple Search Ads, so Keywatch estimates it from autocomplete: how few letters someone types before Apple suggests the search. It’s on a 5–100 scale, marked as an estimate, and good for comparing searches.

Do I need App Store Connect?

No. Keywatch needs no Apple account. Your keyword field isn’t public, so the listing checker asks you to paste it.

What leaves my Mac?

Search terms and app IDs, sent to Apple. With Pro, your license key is checked with Keywatch’s license server about once a week. No analytics, no tracking, no accounts. See the privacy policy.

Does it check when the app is closed?

Yes. A small background check runs every morning at 8:05, or when your Mac wakes, and sends a notification if something changed.

Can I get a refund?

Yes, within 14 days of buying, no questions asked. See the refund policy.

Intel Macs?

Not yet. Keywatch needs Apple silicon and macOS 13 Ventura or later.

What if Apple changes something?

Keywatch gets an update and the app tells you. Updates are included in Pro.

Something else? support@metinjakupi.dev

Free for one app and 10 keywords. Everything else is €7.99, once.
