Show HN: Developed a solution to automate ASO keyword research

The project that I started out of frustration turned into an application that replaced all other ASO tools I have been using. Sharing here so I hope it helps others as well. It is called RespectASO and available at respectaso.com Lots of features are free without any limitations: - Keyword popularity - Keyword difficulty - and a separate difficulty score for ranking in top 5, 10 or 20. - Opportunity scores - likelihood of ranking organically - Unlimited apps + searches - Estimated downloads per keyword per localization - Supports 30 different localizations - Country opportunity finder: Which country is the best to target for a given keyword - Automated daily updated ranking results for targeted keywords - ASO targeting advice - CSV export - Keyword trend charts - Bulk operations Automation features are monetized for a one time fee, and th

ey aim to automate hours of work into minutes with one click: - AI Niche Researcher: Enter a keyword, get a complete ASO strategy. The agentic engine analyzes competitors, discovers keyword opportunities, and generates constraint-compliant metadata: title, subtitle, and keyword field. - AI Competitor Analyzer: Paste any App Store URL. The agentic engine reverse-engineers their keyword strategy, identifies gaps, and generates a differentiated counter-strategy with validated metadata. - AI Competitor Analyzer: Paste your title, subtitle, and keyword field. Get an instant ASO Readiness Score (0–100) with keyword-by-keyword breakdown, competitor comparison, and 3 improved variants per field. And it is open source and the repo is available at https://github.com/respectlytics/respectaso . If you support the open repo, please feel free to leave a star. I hope it adds value to the community. I appreciate any feedback.

Show HN: RespectASO – Free, open-source, self-hosted ASO keyword research tool

I built a free, open-source ASO keyword research tool that runs locally via Docker. You don't need any API keys or accounts; and no data leaves your machine. WHY FREE & WHY OPEN-SOURCE? What any ASO tool gives you are just algorithmically estimations. I have tried many and I can say they are not consistent at all. And they likely over-complicate things in their solutions where over-complication does not necessarily create a better solution. WHY SELF-HOSTED? I wanted to provide this as free. If I hosted the whole thing at a site, I suspect that abuse would be one of the things I would need to deal with, and it would also come with lots of infrastructure costs. And users would share their data suspecting how the hack this is possible for free of charge. Hosting locally is extremely easy, can be done in less than 2 minutes. HOW IT WORKS IN A

NUTSHELL? It uses the public iTunes Search API to estimate keyword popularity (6-signal model), difficulty (7 weighted factors), and downloads per ranking position. You can scan 30 App Store countries, track your app's rank, and export to CSV. It has all the core functions one can ask for. Installation: git clone https://github.com/respectlytics/respectaso.git cd respectaso docker compose up -d License: AGPL-3.0. Built with Django + SQLite + Tailwind.
