AppStoreCat
Open-source app intelligence for iOS & Android.
AppStoreCat is an open-source, self-hosted app intelligence toolkit for iOS and Android. Track rankings, monitor competitors, detect store listing changes, and analyze ASO keywords — without paying $500/mo to a closed SaaS. MIT licensed.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Ismail, the maker of AppStoreCat.
The problem I kept hitting: every decent app intelligence tool (Sensor Tower, Appfigures, AppTweak, data.ai) either starts at $500/mo or locks the useful features behind enterprise plans. And every single one keeps your competitor tracking, your keyword lists, and your research history on their servers.
I wanted something I could:
Run on my own box
Point at any iOS or Android app
Track across both stores in one dashboard
Extend when I needed a weird feature
Nothing quite fit, so I built it.
What AppStoreCat does today:
📊 Trending charts — daily snapshots of top free / paid / grossing across both stores, with historical rank data
🔍 Competitor tracking — side-by-side store presence, per-country
🌍 Store listings — multi-locale tracking for title, description, screenshots, metadata
🔔 Change detection — auto-diff of listing changes with old/new values
🔤 Keyword density — n-gram (1/2/3-word) ASO analysis across 50 languages, stop-word filtered
⭐ Ratings — per-country rating trends with historical snapshots
📚 Publisher discovery — bulk import entire publisher catalogs
Stack: Laravel 13 API + React 19 frontend + two stateless scraper microservices (Fastify for iOS, FastAPI for Android). MySQL 8.4 for storage. Full Docker Compose setup — make setup && make dev and you're running.
This is a public beta. The core works, but I'd love honest feedback on:
Which features feel most useful vs. unnecessary?
What's missing that would make you pick this over the paid tools?
Anything confusing about the self-hosted setup?
Live demo: https://appstore.cat
GitHub: https://github.com/appstorecat/a...
I'll be here all day replying to every comment. Rip it apart — that's exactly what I need right now.
