Shipy vs BoardTrace

Find the keywords you can actually win, write them straight to your App Store listing, and see what they earn. Shipy is keyword research for indie developers on the App Store, native on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Your first 10 keywords are free, for life. No card, no trial. ▸ FIND KEYWORDS YOU CAN WIN Popularity comes from Apple's own search data, not scraped guesses. Difficulty is built from the apps ranking for each keyword today, and an opportunity score weighs demand against your odds. Suggestions come from what the top apps really rank for, with your own brand kept first. ▸ SHIP THEM TO YOUR LISTING Connect your App Store Connect key and, with Pro, Shipy grades your live name, subtitle and keyword field out of 100: every repeated word, every wasted character. It drafts a packed keyword field and writes it to your next version. Promotional text updates without a build. Your .p8 stays in your iCloud Keychain and never reaches our servers. ▸ SEE WHAT THEY EARN Rank history for every keyword and storefront. With Pro, your real funnel sits next to it: impressions, product page views and downloads, split by search, browse and referrers, plus your revenue from RevenueCat and App Store sales. Connect Apple Ads for the paid side of each keyword. Stop guessing which rankings matter. ▸ KNOW WHAT TO DO NEXT One ranked plan across all your apps, each step a tap from the screen that makes it. Rank alerts when keywords move, and a "What changed" inbox that says when every number was measured. ▸ YOUR REVIEWS, ANSWERED Read and reply to reviews across every storefront, and see the phrases your own users reach for. ▸ GO DEEPER WITH PRO Competitor X-ray: every keyword a rival ranks for, and the gaps they missed. Seasonality: when each keyword peaks and when to ship for it. Genre trends, week over week. ▸ WORKS WITH YOUR AI (Mac) An embedded MCP server for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Codex, Cursor, VS Code and Gemini CLI. Your agent can research keywords, grade your listing and draft a keyword field. You publish. ———————————— PRICING FOR BURSTY WORK ASO happens in bursts: a launch week, a big update, then quiet. • Free: 10 keywords, for life. Keywords you've added keep updating. • Credit packs: one-time top-ups for more research. Credits never expire. • Shipy Pro: unlimited research, the listing grade and write-back, analytics, revenue, competitor X-ray, seasonality, genre trends and the nightly rank watch. HONEST BY DESIGN When a data source degrades, Shipy says so. Stale data is marked stale, never dressed up as fresh, and nothing reaches your listing without your approval. Built by an indie developer. Every review gets read. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/ Privacy Policy: https://shipy.bartstudio.io/privacy

BoardTrace is a local-first bench record for hardware bring-up. Capture test-point readings on a board, compare them against a known-good baseline, and freeze an observation session into an immutable, checksummed record — then hand it off as a board-revision passport. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Create boards with your own test-point map: reference designator, signal name, unit, nominal value and tolerance. • Start a capture session and record measured values against every test point. • See pass/fail at a glance on a spatial Test-Point Map, color-coded per point. • Adopt a completed session as your known-good baseline — adoption freezes the readings with a SHA-256 checksum, so the record can never silently change. • Clone an adopted session into a new draft to compare a later board revision, without ever touching the original record. • Archive superseded or old sessions; delete drafts freely (adopted records that are still referenced by a later revision are protected from deletion). HANDOFF AND BACKUP • Export a session as JSON (free), or as a formatted PDF report and CSV table (Pro). • Back up all your boards to a single JSON file and restore it on this or another device. Restore validates the file's schema and checksum first, so a corrupted or incompatible backup is rejected before anything is touched. PRIVACY BY DESIGN • No account, no sign-in, no server. All boards, test points, sessions and readings stay on your device unless you choose to export or share them. • No analytics, no advertising identifier, no tracking. PRO BoardTrace Pro removes the one-board limit and unlocks PDF/CSV handoff exports and the clone-to-compare workflow. Monthly and yearly auto-renewing subscriptions and a one-time Lifetime purchase are available. Backup, restore and deletion stay free forever. BoardTrace is a record-keeping tool for your own observations. It does not control test instruments, interpret electrical safety, certify a board, or provide engineering advice.
