What is the State of Sonar?

Every quarter we publish a snapshot of what’s happening inside Sonar — the App Store Optimization platform built for indie hackers and AI agents. Each edition covers aggregate keyword research data, daily rank tracking volumes, country mix, the iOS vs Google Play split, and how the rise of AI agents is changing how indie developers do ASO.

The numbers are aggregated and anonymized — no individual customer data, app identities, or rank values are disclosed. Bookmark this page to follow trends quarter-over-quarter as Sonar grows.
