How it works

From idea to ranking, without an ASO team

A focused loop you can run between releases — an hour of research, one listing update, and a chart that tells you whether it worked.

01

Research

Start from a feature your app has. Sonar expands it through store autocomplete and scores every idea for popularity and difficulty.

02

Update your listing

Draft the title, subtitle, and keyword field next to your research, so every character goes to a term you can win.

03

Track the result

Rankings are checked daily on both stores. The history shows exactly what moved after each release.

Features

The whole ASO workflow for one app, or ten

Research, listing, and tracking in one place, on both stores.

What indie devs are saying

“Sonar has made keyword research super easy — it has been great for preparing my app for launch on the App Store. It has a great MCP integration so AI models can use real-world data to create good descriptions and headlines and analyse competitors. Being able to see real keyword difficulty and competitor terms in one place saved me hours of guesswork.”
“What is incredible about Sonar is their team! For anything you need, you will get a quick resolution.”
