# ASO Engine

> A native macOS toolkit for App Store keyword research, competitor analysis, metadata translation, and in-app purchase and subscription price review. Built by Maicol Cabreja. Not an Apple product.

The current release is free to download and use on macOS 15 or later, on Intel and Apple Silicon. Public research needs no developer credentials. Metadata and pricing use the user’s App Store Connect team API key. AI translation uses the user’s OpenAI API key with separately billed API usage. Research metrics are estimates, not official Apple search volume or verified competitor sales. No ranking or revenue outcome is guaranteed.
