DevPulse is a sales dashboard and widget app for iOS indie developers. Connect your read-only App Store Connect API credentials to view estimated revenue and daily downloads from Apple's Sales & Trends reports on your iPhone and widgets. KEY FEATURES • Dashboard: Estimated revenue and daily unit downloads for the latest Apple reporting day, with 7-day trend charts. • Widgets: Home Screen widgets (Small, Medium, and Large on Pro) to check your latest synced metrics. • Lock Screen widgets (Pro): Compact revenue and download summary on the Lock Screen. • Pro analytics: 30-day trend charts, all-apps overview, and multi-app switching. • On-device privacy: API credentials are stored in Keychain; report cache stays on your device. DevPulse does not operate a backend that uploads your sales data.
