What ASO CLI helps you evaluate

Keyword research

Explore App Store keyword ideas, popularity context, and long-tail opportunities before shipping metadata changes.

Local analysis

Review rankings, difficulty signals, and brand context in a local dashboard instead of a hosted SaaS workflow.

Automation

Use aso-mcp for agent workflows or pipe aso keywords ... --stdout into your own scripts.

Local dashboard for App Store Optimization workflows

The website stays focused on discovery. The workflow stays in your local CLI and local dashboard runtime, where you can inspect keyword results without handing the project over to a hosted dashboard.

MCP for agent-driven ASO automation

Use aso-mcp when you want agent-driven app store optimization automation. It runs the same CLI research pipeline with machine-readable results so tools and agents can evaluate keywords with the same local-first flow.
