What is an ASO keyword tool?
An ASO keyword tool helps you discover, choose, and monitor the search terms people use inside app stores. Keyword Monitor tracks daily Apple App Store positions, 7-day and 30-day deltas, ahead/behind competitors, and country-specific ranking movement.

Workflow
How It Works
Link an app, add the keywords you care about, then watch the rankings update every day.
Link your app
Pick your app via the iTunes search picker — same flow as the upload step. The Keyword Monitor tab unlocks as soon as the project has a linked app.
Add keywords
Paste your own list, mine a competitor's listing, or accept auto-detected suggestions for terms your app already ranks for in the top 200.
Track daily
Every keyword is re-scraped every 24 hours. Position, Δ7d, Δ30d, sparkline, ahead/behind apps and the top-N ranking refresh on their own.
Daily Rank Tracking
Daily rankings.
With the full picture.
A row per (keyword, country, language). Each row carries position, deltas, a 7-day sparkline, and the apps directly above and below you in the SERP — so you always know where you stand and where to push next.
Position & deltas
Latest rank in the App Store top 200, plus date-anchored Δ7d and Δ30d so you can see momentum without squinting at a chart.
7-day sparkline
Every row carries a 7-day inline sparkline of daily ranks. Spot drops, spikes, or steady climbs at a glance.
Ahead & Behind
The app sitting one slot above and one slot below you in the SERP, with their icons cached from the App Store.
Smart Discovery
Three ways to fill the list.
No blank canvas.
The empty state isn't empty. We auto-scan the App Store top 200 for keywords your app already ranks for and present one-click adds. Mine your competitors' listings to surface fresh ideas. Or just paste your own.
Auto-detect
We scan the App Store SERP top 200 for terms extracted from your own title and description, then surface only the ones your app actually ranks for. Cached for 24 h so the heavy lift runs once.
Mine competitors
Pick 1–3 competitor apps and pull keyword ideas from their listings. Merged, deduped against what you already track, and ready to add with one click.
Paste your own
Free-text input, comma- or newline-separated. Pre-validated against your plan limit so you know before you spend a slot.
Competitor SERP
Beyond your own rank.
The whole battlefield.
Switch to the Competitors tab to see how your app and your competitors stack up across every keyword you track. One row per keyword, one column per app — averaged ranks, real positions, and movement at a glance.
Head-to-head matrix
See your app and your top competitors as columns, every tracked keyword as a row. The numbers show their position; the colors show who is winning each keyword.
Top-N ranking
Click any keyword to expand the top 5 ranking apps with stacked icons, then drill into the full top 200 in a side panel.
Position trend chart
A daily ranking history overlay across all your tracked keywords so you can correlate movement with launches, A/B tests, and metadata changes.
Position Trend
Daily history.
Charted in one view.
Toggle keywords on and off to layer their daily rank history on a single chart. Hover any day to see exactly where you ranked across every term you care about.
Localization-aware
Per-keyword country and language.
Each tracked keyword is bound to a specific (country, language) pair. Track the same term in multiple markets, compare side by side, and decide where to localize next.
Any App Store country
Track in the US, DE, JP, CN, BR — wherever your users live. The SERP is scraped in that country's storefront, not your IP location.
BCP-47 language
Choose en-US, de-DE, ja-JP, zh-Hans, and more. The keyword is searched in the language a real user in that market would use.
History retention
Free accounts see the most recent 30 days. Paid plans see full historical depth so you can correlate ranking changes with launches months ago.
