Observed, not modelled
Where does my app actually come up?
BirikiAso asks Apple's public US App Store search the same question a person would type, then reports the position your app came back at — or that it did not come back at all. Every number on the screen was returned by Apple for that phrase, on that day. Nothing is estimated, scored or extrapolated.
Steps
Four steps, about a minute.
01
Name the app
Paste an App Store link, an Apple ID or the app's name. The app does not have to be yours — any public US listing works, including a rival's.
02
Enter up to twenty keywords
One per line, or comma separated. The app's own public listing suggests a starting set drawn from its title, category and description — a starting point, not evidence of demand.
03
Your browser asks Apple
Each search leaves from your own connection, so nothing queues behind other visitors. Results stream in as they land; a phrase Apple answers with 200 results is read to that depth.
04
Read the evidence
Rank, the depth Apple actually returned, the rivals that came back with you, their public review counts, and one plain next move per keyword. Come back tomorrow and the same keyword gains a second day.
Context
What ASO is, briefly.
App Store Optimization is the work of being findable in the store's own search. Most installs still begin with someone typing a phrase, so the question that matters is narrow and practical: for the phrases that describe your app, does it appear at all, and who is standing above it?
That question has an observable answer. Apple returns an ordered list for every phrase, identical no matter who is asking. Your rank is simply your position in that list — and if the list ends before your app appears, the honest reading is "not in the 200 results returned", not a guess at what position you might hold beyond them.
Limits
What this will never tell you.
Apple's public search API publishes no search volume, no download counts and no revenue. Tools that show those numbers are modelling them from other sources. BirikiAso does not, and will not invent a difficulty score, an opportunity index or a popularity figure to fill the gap.
Review counts appear beside rivals because Apple returns them, and they are useful context for how established a competitor is. They are not a target and not a cause of ranking.
The rule the product is built on: if Apple did not return it, you will not read it here.
Planned
What is coming, and what is only intended.
A workspace is currently held in your browser, which means clearing site data starts a fresh one. A permanent account by email is the next piece of work — it converts the workspace you already have rather than creating a second one.
After that: a daily server-side watch, so a keyword keeps gaining history on the days nobody opens the page, and rival review velocity, which is already being collected but not yet shown.
These are intentions, not promises with dates. Anything listed here is unbuilt until it appears on the screen.
Feedback
Tell us what is wrong with it.
This is an early open trial and the fastest way to change it is to say what got in your way — a phrase that returned something odd, a number that read wrong, a step that felt pointless.
