A research board.
Your own evidence.
Search results are different in every market. Compare your app across 175 storefronts, with the top results behind each score available to inspect.
- Check your position in current App Store search results.
- Explore suggestions from App Store autocomplete.
- Keep checks and history locally on your Mac.
Know what the
numbers can tell you.
Rank is your app's position in the search results. Demand and difficulty are 0–100 estimates derived from those results, including app ratings and market density.
They help you compare phrases. They are not Apple's search counts, a traffic forecast or a promise of downloads.
Built for the
next listing change.
Filter your saved board, compare rank history and edit local listing drafts. Keep your research and metadata drafts together as you work through each locale.

How do I get RankDeck?
Buy a licence to download and activate RankDeck on up to two Macs.
Does it run on an Intel Mac?

What data leaves my Mac?
Keyword research sends requests to the App Store. Licence activation and validation contact Notchbird with your licence and installation identity. Your keyword history and listing drafts stay on your Mac. There is no analytics in the app.
How are volume and difficulty calculated?
Volume is a 0–100 audience estimate from relevance-weighted ratings of the apps in the top search results, not Apple's search counts. Difficulty uses the log-scaled median rating count of up to 10 relevant results, adjusted for storefront density. Scores are withheld when fewer than 3 relevant apps are found. The evidence stays with every check.
