📈 Worked example

“I just launched. One sale. Now what?”

Watch Dispatch take a freshly-shipped iOS app from a single sale to a concrete ASO plan — reading the niche, finding the winnable keywords, pricing the Search Ads fight and out-positioning the incumbents, all in an afternoon. Read the case study →

Dispatch is the all-in-one marketing and launch toolkit for indie Mac and iOS developers. It replaces the dozen tools you cobble together to research keywords, write App Store copy, design screenshots, build a marketing site, and ship every asset — all in one native macOS app, with on-device AI and zero servers in the loop.

I built Dispatch because I'd been launching apps for years and the ASO grind never got easier — different SaaS tool for keywords, another for screenshots, manually checking competitor descriptions for terms I'd missed. Two weeks after I started using it on Drip Send, it had paid itself back in time saved on the first localization push alone.

NEW IN 1.5.1 · SCOUT MODE

Decide what to build.
Then ship it.

Dispatch used to start the day you have an app. Now it starts before. Niche Scout takes a search term and a country and gives you a researcher's-grade read on whether the space is worth shipping into — using only public App Store signals, scored locally, with on-device AI clustering the user complaints. No Sensor Tower subscription. No spreadsheets.

📊

Beatability scoring

Each incumbent gets a transparent 0–100 score built from five signals: update cadence, rating quality, audience footprint, listing effort, and solo-vs-corporate seller. Hover any score to see the exact reasons it landed where it did — no black box.

Abandonment radar

Active · Slow · Stale · Abandoned cadence flags surface incumbents the original dev has stopped shipping. An app at #12 with no update in 14 months is a different opportunity than an app at #12 that ships weekly. Scout knows the difference.

💰

Rough revenue bands

Per-app and niche-level estimated install ranges + paid-app revenue floors, derived from rating-count × industry install ratio × Apple's 70% net. Bands are deliberately wide so they communicate uncertainty honestly — not "$42,318 ARR" theatre.

💬

Review pain miner

One click runs on-device AI clustering over the top 5 incumbents' recent reviews. Surfaces themed bugs, feature requests, pricing complaints, confusion, and praise — a free, ranked feature-spec for the app you haven't built yet.

The workflow

Type a niche → see the top 20 with beatability scores, cadence flags, rating quality, and rough financial bands → mine review pain to see what users keep complaining about → export a Markdown niche report → ship. Same toolkit, opposite end of the lifecycle.

Same customer. Bigger job. Run Niche Scout from the sidebar or just say it to Dispatch-kun — "scout the focus-timer niche in Japan".

Everything between code and launch

🛂

Pre-Flight rejection checks NEW

Catch App Store rejections before you submit. Pre-Flight scans for the most common rejection causes — each linked to the exact Review Guideline — auto-checks and pulls your live App Store Connect listing across locales (other-platform mentions, placeholder text, prices in the description, keyword-field issues, dead support URLs it actually pings). Rejected anyway? The on-device Rejection Doctor reads Apple's message, names the guideline, and hands you concrete fixes — private, no API key.

📈

Rank Tracker NEW

Every keyword you track, across every storefront, on one dense movers board — inline difficulty and opportunity bars, your live App Store position, and a trend sparkline with a signed delta. Sort by biggest movers to see exactly what changed overnight. Built on the daily rank history Dispatch already collects, so it fills itself in over time — no extra setup.

💰

Cost to compete NEW

Before you sink a budget into a keyword, Dispatch reads the incumbents ranking for it and tells you what it would take you to compete: a realistic Apple Search Ads cost-per-tap band, a rough monthly spend range to buy enough taps to matter, and a colour-coded 🟢🟡🔴 winnability verdict. An honest order-of-magnitude estimate from observable signals — not a readout of any rival's actual spend, which Apple doesn't expose.

💡

Keyword Discovery NEW

Type one seed keyword. Dispatch expands it into a ranked list of keyword ideas you didn't think of — from App Store autocomplete, the terms top-ranking apps actually use, and a second pass on the strongest of those. Each scored on popularity and difficulty, ranked so the winnable, high-traffic ones surface first, one-click savable to rank tracking.

🌍

Worldwide Reviews Radar

Sweep an app's public reviews across every major App Store storefront at once — see where your ratings are landing worldwide in one view. Each sweep is remembered, so the next flags what's new since you last looked, and Dispatch-kun pings you the moment a fresh 1–3★ review lands anywhere so you can reply before it festers.

🔭

Niche Scout

Decide which app to ship next. Pick a niche, pick a country — get top-20 incumbents scored on beatability (update cadence, rating, footprint, listing effort), abandonment flags, price distribution, rough install + revenue bands, and an on-device AI clustering of what users actually hate about today's apps. Export a Markdown niche report. Built on public App Store signals + Foundation Models — nothing leaves your Mac.

🕵️

Competitor intelligence that compounds

One click clusters any rival's reviews on-device into bugs, feature requests, pricing gripes and UX friction — a ready-made list of where to beat them. Then it remembers: re-check weeks later and Dispatch shows what they fixed, what's new, and what's still unaddressed. It even watches your tracked competitors weekly and pings you the moment one ships a fix you were going to win on. Longitudinal competitive intel no browser tab — or rival tool — gives an indie.

🎯

Keyword Gap (AI)

AI-grounded keyword gap analysis: pulls the listings of the apps that actually rank for your search term and finds the phrases they lean on that your listing is missing — read semantically, not just word-counted, with High/Medium/Low priority and the reasoning behind each gap. Pre-fills from your latest metadata draft. On-device.

🤖

Frequently asked

Can I try it before buying?

Yes — download a 3-day full-feature trial. Runs the entire app on your Mac, no signup, no card. After 3 days the app locks until you buy a license. A few power features (Push to App Store Connect, Apple Search Ads campaign planner, Site Studio export, In-App Event submission, Export Pack) are Pro-only even during the trial — everything else is fully unlocked for the 3 days.

Will my data leave my Mac?

No. Dispatch is local-first by design — drafts, screenshots, icons, and projects live in your Mac's SwiftData store. The on-device AI runs via Apple Foundation Models, never sending prompts off-device. Your App Store Connect API keys live in Keychain. The app is sandboxed and Hardened-Runtime signed.

Do I need an App Store Connect API key?

Only for features that interact with App Store Connect directly — Pull from ASC, Push to ASC, Reviews, In-App Events, Conversion Funnel. Everything else (AI ASO Audit, Keyword Opportunity Finder, Search Preview, Screenshot Studio, Site Studio, etc.) works without any sign-in or keys.

What if Apple changes the API or breaks something?

Free updates throughout 1.x. If a feature breaks I fix it. I rely on App Store Connect and Apple Search Ads APIs for my own apps too, so I'm motivated to keep them working.

Why one-time and not subscription?

I don't have ongoing server costs — Dispatch is local-first, with no backend. You should keep your money. If you don't need 2.0 down the road, you'll have everything in 1.x for free for as long as you use it.

Money-back guarantee?

14 days, no questions asked. Email support@yuzool.com and I'll refund you in full. Combined with the 3-day free trial, that's effectively 17 days to evaluate Dispatch with zero risk.

Does it work with Intel Macs?

It needs Apple Silicon for the on-device AI features (Foundation Models requires M1 or later). The ASO research, metadata editor, screenshot studio, and site generator features will technically run on Intel but the AI-powered audits, translations, and review-reply drafting won't be available.

Will there be a Mac App Store version?

Yes — it's submitted to App Store Connect now. The direct download you'd get today is the same binary, but the App Store version will get automatic updates through Software Update and you can buy with your existing Apple ID.

Indie developer · Yuzool Apps

I've been shipping for over a decade, now Mac and iOS apps. Dispatch is the tool I wished existed when I was launching them — the thing I built for myself, then realised would help every other indie facing the same ASO grind. I'm not going anywhere; I use it on my own apps every week.
