# Shipmate

> Shipmate is a free, native Mac app for indie iOS and Mac developers. It shows App Store sales, reviews, App Store review status, TestFlight builds and ASO keyword ranks in one place, sends one morning summary notification at 9:00, and puts the numbers on a desktop widget. Your App Store Connect API key stays in the macOS Keychain and your data stays on your Mac.

- Requirements: macOS 14 Sonoma or later; an App Store Connect team API key with the App Manager or Admin role; your vendor number for sales reports
- Languages: English, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, French in the app; this site is in English, Portuguese (Brazil) and Spanish

## What it does

- Dashboard: revenue, downloads, ratings and app health across all your apps, with the reviews that need a reply first.
- Sales: proceeds and downloads by day, product and country, from Apple's daily Sales and Trends reports (published by Apple the next day).
- Reviews: read, filter (unanswered, negative, positive) and reply to App Store reviews without opening App Store Connect. Optional AI drafts, on-device or with your own cloud AI key; you always edit and publish.
- Builds & Review: every version's App Store review status (Waiting for Review, In Review, Ready for Sale, Rejected) and TestFlight builds.
- ASO: track keyword ranks per country with 30 days of history, watch competitors, and get a notification when a tracked keyword drops.
- Tasks: turn reviews and alerts into a board of tasks.
- Morning summary: one notification at 9:00 with the latest sales day, new reviews and low-rated reviews waiting for a reply.
- Desktop widget (small and medium) and a menu bar glance.
- RevenueCat (optional): add your own secret key to see MRR, active subscribers and trials in real time. Read-only.
- Several App Store Connect accounts, each with its own key.

## Privacy

- The App Store Connect key is stored in the macOS Keychain on this Mac. Shipmate signs requests locally and talks to Apple's API directly.
- Sales, reviews and keyword history are stored locally. There is no Shipmate account or server.
- Anonymous usage events (no app names, reviews, sales or search terms) go to Amplitude (EU) and can be turned off in Settings.
- A cloud AI provider or RevenueCat only receive data if the user adds their own key.
