What Constrings is

Constrings is a local-first macOS workspace for App Store metadata editing and real keyword rank tracking by market. Edit sensitive App Store text, check coverage, and make safer ASO decisions from Apple Search/Lookup data instead of unverifiable third-party scores or inflated AI guesses.

Glossary

App Store localization

The process of preparing app-page metadata for each App Store language or locale an app supports.

App Store Connect metadata

The app-page text managed through App Store Connect. Constrings edits App Name, Subtitle, Promotional Text, Description, Keywords, and What's New.

Platform-aware metadata

Metadata that keeps shared App Information separate from platform/version metadata so iOS, iPad, and Mac contexts remain clear.

ASO Markets

Constrings' Markets workspace for tracking Apple Search keyword positions by country and ranking surface. It is advisory and does not write to metadata drafts.

Keyword ranking

The position of an app in Apple Search results for a specific keyword, country, and surface such as iPhone, iPad, or Mac.

Local-first workflow

A workflow where the durable app library, drafts, snapshots, Markets data, and audit records are stored on the user's Mac.

Readiness diagnostics

Deterministic findings that highlight metadata completion, field limits, keyword structure, conflicts, and known App Store Connect save constraints.
