RankMast, a paper trail for App Store rankings
A native macOS tool in development that checks App Store keyword positions and stores dated results locally.
- For
- Mac-based App Store developers tracking keywords
- Worth noticing
- It records the captured top 200 and leaves chart gaps for out-of-window or failed checks.
Field notes
The project describes a six-screen native Mac application built around dated observations rather than modeled scores. Users would paste a numeric App Store ID, select countries and search terms, then review separate storefront series, captured top-200 lists, and historical charts. Its measurement rules are unusually explicit: an absent result is not converted into rank 0, and a failed check does not replace the last conclusive position. The page says the beta is still in development.
