“As a first-time iOS app publisher, AscBuddy helped me navigate App Store Connect with a lot more confidence while submitting HookSpark. Its guidance, tips, and checks made the confusing parts of the publishing process much easier to understand and complete.”

Made for real people,
shipping real apps.
The trusted solution for iOS/Mac app management and optimization.
“AscBuddy saves so much time with App Store Connect localization workflows by eliminating the need to jump between multiple apps. The submission checklist also turns release prep from a guessing game into a much smoother process. It's especially useful for indie developers and small teams trying to ship faster with less friction.”
“I'm always pleased with any product that is as frictionless and easy to use as possible, and this really is. Well done!”
“Excellent extension! It adds some great quality of life features to Apple Connect. Just dark mode alone makes it feel like a better experience but the shortcuts, tooltips and suggestions make the process of publishing and updating so much more efficient! Thanks for this!”
“YOU NEED TO USE LOCALIZATION IF YOU WANT MORE VISIBILITY. 5x uptick in impressions per day after adding localizations. Couldn't be easier and is a mega unlock. One click, 39+ countries added with AscBuddy.”

Built by Phil™
Creator of TubeBuddy
After Bill Gates acquired TubeBuddy in 2020, I jumped into iOS dev and quickly found App Store Connect to be one of the worst, most frustrating sites I have ever used.
A browser extension to automate, streamline and fix App Store Connect workflows. And thus, AscBuddy was born.
I've built since I was 12.

Your questions
answered.
What browsers are supported?
AscBuddy is currently available for Google Chrome and other
Chromium-based browsers like Arc and Edge.
We have a beta version ready for Safari. Want to try it? Shoot me an email: phil@ascbuddy.com.
Why is App Manager API access required?
AscBuddy offers tools that may update your App Store Listing (at your request) and many of these tools would
not work without being able to read and update details from your apps.
Features such as auto-localization, submission checks, app status updates and metadata helpers.
App Manager is the standard access level for these workflows. It does not include your Apple account
password, banking, tax, payments, or Finance reports.
You control the key and can revoke it in App
Store Connect anytime.
Does AscBuddy store data from my app after connecting?
Some, but only the app data required to provide product functionality.
This may include connected app identifiers, historical app metadata, App Store URLs, diagnostics, and milestone history.
We do not collect or retain app data for unrelated purposes. Manual data access is strictly limited to situations where it is necessary to diagnose a technical issue, share milestones privately, or provide support that you have requested.
We do not sell your data, use it for interest-based advertising, share it with data brokers, or use it to train public AI models. When we analyze platform-wide trends, the information is aggregated and anonymized so it cannot be linked back to you or your apps. For example, we may generate industry insights such as average App Store review times, submission-to-review timelines, or other high-level statistics that help improve AscBuddy for everyone without exposing any
customer's data.
You stay in control. If you ever want the app data associated with your AscBuddy account removed from our database, email phil@ascbuddy.com and we will delete it.
Additionally, you can turn Debug Mode on in the extension settings screen which loads a debug panel and lets you view
every single request and see exactly what data is sent and received during your work session.
Is my app data safe?
Yes. If there is one thing I have learned about building browser extensions over the last 15+ years, it is that you better TRUST the person and/or company who created them. Browser extensions grant powerful (but permission-based) access to sites you visit. Security and privacy are a core pillar for AscBuddy. Your data is safe with AscBuddy and I am happy to answer any security related questions directly. Simply reach out - phil@ascbuddy.com.
How does AscBuddy compare to Helm, Fastlane & ASCCLI?
They all make App Store Connect better
