About

Redeemly

Apple gives you 500 Offer Codes in a CSV — and zero tools to track who you gave them to. Redeemly fixes that. Built for indie developers running promotions, betas, and giveaways. Import the CSV Apple generates, distribute codes from your iPhone, and always know which ones are still available. WHY REDEEMLY - Import Apple's CSV in one tap. Redeemly auto-detects which app the codes belong to from the redemption URL — no manual setup. - Distribute codes one at a time. Tap "Give next code" and Redeemly hands you a fresh one. Add a note ("for @alice from Reddit") so you remember who got what. - Mark codes as redeemed. Track which codes were actually used vs. just distributed. - Multiple apps, multiple batches. Manage Offer Codes for every app in your portfolio. Run parallel promotions without mixing them up. - Expiration warnings. Get clear visual cues when batches are running out or near Apple's 6-month limit. - Works offline, syncs everywhere. SwiftData + iCloud means your code library follows you across iPhone, iPad, and Mac with zero setup. HOW IT WORKS 1. Generate Offer Codes in App Store Connect and download the CSV. 2. Tap import in Redeemly. Pick the CSV. Done — the app, the icon, and the codes appear automatically. 3. Distribute codes when you need them. Add recipient notes. Mark as redeemed when you confirm. PRIVACY No accounts. No backend. No tracking. Your code library lives in your own iCloud account and nowhere else. We never see your data. REDEEMLY PRO The free version lets you manage one app with one batch — enough to see if it fits your workflow. Upgrade to Pro for unlimited apps and batches, plus every future feature, with a one-time purchase. No subscription. — Built by an indie iOS developer who got tired of tracking Offer Codes in spreadsheets.
