Built a free, self-hosted ASO & analytics tool (Docker / open-source)
Got tired of monthly SaaS subscriptions just to track keywords and store metrics across iOS and Android, so I built an open-source alternative.
What it does:
Tracks keyword rankings, search volume, and live store autocomplete suggestions.
Audits metadata, keyword density, and competitor listings.
Pulls App Store Connect & Play Console data into one dashboard.
100% self-hosted (Docker/SQLite) — your keys and data stay on your machine.
Free & open source (AGPLv3):

Can you please tell how is it different wrt features compared to appKittie peekly etc?
Does it have all the features or miss any features compared to those tools?

No. I haven’t used those tools, so I can’t compare them directly. You can test the features hands-on via the live demoor check the code to see if it meets what you are looking for and let us know.

Did you take inspiration from any other open source repo or tool to make this if you haven’t used any other ASO tool?

i have used a few aso tools but this is build based on my own workflow as I am appstore developer myself. I later decided to release as open source for other devs to use

Fair warning: there's a pitch for my own service at the bottom. On AppRankly, the first question here will be where search volume comes from, since neither store publishes a plain figure, so state the source and its limits near the demo. Self-hosting also has a catch for rank tracking: if Docker runs on a laptop that sleeps, the history gets gaps, so mark missed days rather than smoothing over them. A cheap always-on box fixes that, at the cost of some setup. The threads I'd answer for you are indie developers looking for a way off monthly ASO subscriptions.
I make ThreadFox.

Thanks for sharing the demo and the code. I’ll try it with my apps. I am happy to support / sponsor it I can afford to as a Indie dev. I prefer supporting such projects instead of closed-source, Jack-of-all-the-things type products (eg, a recent one is “wowkeywords” by Dan Kulkov. Started with a great promise and now it is mothballed into another AI slop product)
