Works with your AI assistant
Give your AI assistant real App Store data.
Ask a chatbot for keywords and it guesses. Connect OpenASO and it does the research first: your listing, your live rankings, your competitors, and what people actually search for.
- Finds the keywords you are missing. It starts from your listing, then tests every idea against live App Store results.
- Shows where rivals are beating you. See who outranks you on the keywords you share, and where you can take ground.
- Tells you what to do next. Each keyword gets a clear call: defend, attack, long-tail, or drop. Say the word and the best ones join your tracking.
The same connection can rewrite your title and subtitle, compare competitor screenshots, pick the countries worth localizing for, or turn reviews into your next release plan.

Common questions
How does the AI part work?
OpenASO includes an MCP server, the standard way for AI tools to use data from other apps. Connect Claude, Codex, VS Code, or Antigravity and your assistant can read your listing, rankings, competitors, reviews, and popularity scores, then add keywords for you. Other MCP clients may work too.
Do I need to pay for an AI subscription?
OpenASO does not include an AI model or charge for one. You use the AI client you already have, under that client's own plan. Everything else in OpenASO works without AI.
Is OpenASO really free?
Yes. OpenASO is free and MIT licensed. You can inspect the source on GitHub and use the app without a subscription.
What do I need to run OpenASO?
A Mac running macOS 15 or later. You can track rankings, competitors, ratings, and public reviews without connecting any other account. Replying to reviews needs App Store Connect access to your app.
Do I need an Apple Ads account?
Only for keyword popularity scores. Your Apple Ads account must be fully set up, including payment or tax information. Fetching popularity is free, and OpenASO never creates campaigns or charges your card.
Where is my research stored?
Your OpenASO workspace is stored locally on your Mac. Apps, keywords, rankings, ratings, reviews, and research history stay in the local app unless you choose to export or share them.
Can I track apps I do not own?
Yes. Add your own app, a competitor, or any public App Store app by search or App Store ID.
What rankings can OpenASO monitor?
Track keyword positions by app, storefront, and platform. Each snapshot records the position and nearby ranked apps so you can compare movement and competitive context over time.
What can I learn in the first 10 minutes?
Add an app and a handful of keywords to see current positions, the competitors appearing around them, storefront ratings, and recent customer feedback. That first pass gives you a grounded shortlist of what to investigate next.
Can I work with App Store reviews?
Yes. Filter reviews by country and rating, and translate them into English where Apple's on-device translation is available. If you connect App Store Connect, you can also reply to reviews of your own apps from OpenASO.
Know what to target by the end of today.
Download OpenASO, add your app, and ask your assistant for a plan. It's free, and your data stays on your Mac.
