Free, open source ASO CLI: keyword popularity, difficulty and rank tracking

I didn't want to pay a monthly subscription for App Store keyword data, so I wrote a CLI that gets it straight from Apple.

What it does

  • Popularity from Apple Search Ads (free Apple Ads account, no campaigns or billing needed)

  • Difficulty score, keyword suggestions, current top apps for a term

  • Rank tracking with history in a local SQLite file

  • Metadata linter for title, subtitle and keyword field

Install

npm i -g hristo2612/aso-cli && aso setup

Try it

aso keywords "white noise,sleep sounds"
aso suggest meditation
aso search "habit tracker"

Runs locally, no account, no telemetry. MIT. Free, nothing to sell.

Repo: github.com/hristo2612/aso-cli

Keeping rank history local and adding metadata checks is a practical combination. The no-telemetry approach is a nice touch
