## What is Helm for App Store Connect?

Helm is a native App Store Connect companion built for developers who ship often. Manage versions, metadata, screenshots, TestFlight, subscriptions, reviews, in-app events, and editorial nominations from one fast interface so everyday listing work stays out of your way.

■ LISTINGS THAT KEEP UP WITH YOUR RELEASES
Edit app updates across platforms, tune promotional text and release notes, manage phased releases, and submit for App Review when everything checks out. Open App Store Connect in the browser anytime you still need it.

■ METADATA, LOCALIZATION, AND AI
Improve descriptions, explore keywords, and translate listing fields and in-app event copy across locales with tools meant for real submissions, not generic prompts.

■ APP STORE OPTIMIZATION
Catch duplicate keywords, review practical guidance, and preview how your listing appears in search results so it reads cleanly before you submit.

■ SCREENSHOTS AND PREVIEWS
Reorder and replace assets while Helm handles sizing, alpha cleanup, visionOS simulator workflows, and Magic Upload so files land in the right locale and order.

■ APP INFORMATION AND REVIEW CONTACTS
Maintain app-level details and App Review Information, with shortcuts to reuse trusted contact data when Apple needs to reach you.

■ TESTFLIGHT
Draft beta release notes, invite internal and external testers and groups, pull contacts when you want speed, submit builds for beta review, and stay on top of feedback.

■ CUSTOMER REVIEWS
Filter and sort reviews, reply with templates, translate replies when it helps, export what you need, and copy your App Store review link quickly.

■ IN-APP PURCHASES AND SUBSCRIPTIONS
Create and organize products, manage subscription groups and pricing, and handle promotional pricing, offer codes, and win-back offers where available.

■ IN-APP EVENTS
Create and duplicate events, localize event copy, and submit them as part of your release workflow.

■ APP STORE NOMINATIONS
Track drafts, upcoming, and past editorial nominations so that promoting your app to the App Store team stays organized.

■ ACCESSIBILITY
Fill and monitor App Store accessibility nutrition labels so your product page reflects the experience you ship.

■ HELM PASSPORT AND WIDGET
Collect developer contacts like stamps, share yours with a QR code or widget, and invite people into TestFlight builds or groups. An App Clip gets new contacts started in seconds when they are not on Helm yet.

■ ACCOUNT FLEXIBILITY
Sign in with App Store Connect API keys, keep multiple Helm setups for separate developer accounts, and use Helm setup files to onboard or move configuration between devices.

■ STAY IN THE LOOP
Optional notifications for builds, version changes, and TestFlight feedback so important updates do not get lost.

### 5/5 — Super convenient

*2026-08-07*

I’m surprised Apple hasn’t bought this product, it’s an amazing utility for indie developers or organizations with multiple apps or high traffic apps.

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! 😊

### 5/5 — Great app

*2026-07-28*

They built exactly what shouldve been app store connect from the start! Cant wait tk see where they take it!

**Developer response:** Thank you so much! We have a lot of great features coming soon as well 😄

### 5/5 — Delight!

*2026-07-10*

Everything about this app is just a delightful experience. I’m never using App Store Connect again

### 5/5 — Works great!

*2026-06-26*

Much needed relief from using the App Store Connect website.

### 5/5 — 귀찮은 것들을 다 해결해 주는 고마운 앱

*2026-06-26*

항상 애플 스토어 커넥트 로그인해야 하고 버튼 누를 때마다 기다려야 하는 등 생각보다 귀찮은 것들이 모든 게 다 해결이 됩니다. 이 앱 덕분에 앱 출시하는 게 더 쉬워졌고 이제 웹사이트 들어가는 일이 거의 없어요.

### 5/5 — Excellent Tool!

*2026-06-15, version 2.3.1*

I literally fan of this tool, making my job quite easy!

### 5/5 — Pre macOS 26 Support Still Needed

*2026-06-09*

I love this app, as it has saved me countless hours of busy work.  But there is a bug in the latest version that has rendered it useless and the latest version, with the bug fix, requires macOS 26 which my Intel based MacBook doesn’t support.  Yeah, I could spend $5000 on a new MacBook, but you could also just maintain compatibility for those of us who aren’t prepared to buy new hardware.
——
For what it’s worth, I did just notice that I still have v1.6.1 installed on my Mac and that v2+ has been available for 8+ months.

### 5/5 — Le top du top !

*2026-06-04*

Je pouvais plus me voir le App Store Connect en peinture. Helm m’y a redonné goût !

Il faut avouer que ça simplifie réellement la vie et rend l’utilisation de ASC bien plus plaisant. Je recommande sans hésiter.

### 5/5 — Language in Review

*2026-05-29, version 2.2.5*

In Customer Review, will be great to show the language detected for the review. A message from Germany store is not necessarily written in German. It is hard for me as Chinese to differentiate.

### 5/5 — Makes everything so much easier

*2026-05-22*

Helm helps to speed up tedious tasks in AppStoreConnect immensely. In App Purchases, Localisations, Screenshots, everything is easier using Helm!
