Privacy by Design

RespectASO runs as a native app on your Mac. Free features call Apple's API directly. Pro AI features use your own LLM keys — we never see or store them.

✓ Runs entirely on your Mac — no cloud servers, no data uploads
✓ No analytics or tracking — zero telemetry, we literally cannot see how you use the app
✓ Bring Your Own Keys (BYOK) — Pro AI features use your own API keys for OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini
✓ Local SQLite database — all research data stored on your machine
✓ Open source — AGPL-3.0 licensed, audit the code yourself

Frequently Asked Questions

Is RespectASO really free?

Yes. RespectASO's keyword research features are 100% free and open-source under the AGPL-3.0 license — including popularity scores, difficulty analysis, competitor breakdowns, 30 country support, trend charts, and more. The optional Pro upgrade adds AI-powered automation features for a one-time purchase. No subscriptions.

What is Agentic ASO?

Agentic ASO is RespectASO Pro's approach to AI-powered App Store Optimization. Unlike tools that generate metadata in a single pass, the agentic engine validates every output against 9 App Store constraints (character limits, keyword deduplication, cross-field overlap, format rules) and iteratively self-corrects — up to 5 rounds — until all rules pass. If any issues remain, a programmatic fallback automatically fixes them. You always get valid, ready-to-use metadata.

What AI features does Pro include?

Pro includes three AI-powered tools: AI Niche Researcher (enter a keyword, get a complete strategy with optimized title, subtitle, and keyword field), AI Competitor Analyzer (paste an App Store URL, get a differentiated counter-strategy), and ASO Score Simulator (evaluate your metadata with a 0–100 readiness score and specific improvement suggestions). All three use the same agentic self-correction engine. Learn more →

Which AI providers does Pro support?

RespectASO Pro uses a Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) model. It supports OpenAI (GPT-4 and latest), Anthropic (Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Opus), and Google Gemini (2.0 Flash, 1.5 Pro). All LLM calls originate from your machine using your own API keys. RespectASO never sees, stores, or proxies them.

Does any data leave my machine?

No. RespectASO runs entirely on your Mac. Free features call Apple's iTunes Search API directly. Pro AI features call your chosen LLM provider using your own API key. No data is sent to Respectlytics or any third party. The free version's source code is open — you can verify this yourself.

How is keyword popularity estimated?

Each keyword gets a popularity score from 1 to 100 based on a 6-signal model using public data from the iTunes Search API. Higher scores mean more search volume. The algorithm is fully open source — you can inspect and modify it on GitHub.

What countries does RespectASO support?

RespectASO supports 30 App Store regions including the US, UK, Canada, Germany, France, Japan, Australia, Brazil, India, South Korea, China, Mexico, Sweden, and more. The Country Opportunity Finder compares keyword performance across all 30 countries at once.

Does RespectASO support Google Play / Android?

Currently, RespectASO focuses on iOS App Store keywords using the iTunes Search API. Google Play Store support is on the roadmap — the Play Store has no official public API for keyword data.
