# Constrings

## Product
Constrings is a native macOS app for editing App Store metadata locally and tracking real keyword rank by market through Apple Search/Lookup-based Markets.

## Who It Is For
Constrings is for indie developers and small teams who manage App Store metadata, localization, keyword coverage, and search visibility from a Mac workspace.

## Main Features
- Local App Store metadata library stored on the user's Mac.
- Editing for App Name, Subtitle, Promotional Text, Description, Keywords, and What's New.
- App Store Connect import, manual Pull, and draft Save workflows.
- Deterministic readiness diagnostics for Apple limits, keyword structure, searchable metadata, conflicts, and known App Store Connect save blockers.
- Platform-aware metadata for App Information and version metadata.
- Markets workspace for country-specific keyword rank tracking.
- Apple Search/Lookup rank snapshots by country and surface: iPhone, iPad, and Mac.
- Top results and watched public listing visibility for tracked keywords.
- Keyword coverage checks against App Name, Subtitle, and Keywords.
- Local refresh queue, cache, throttling, and transient-failure backoff for Markets.

## Planned Or Launch-Pending Items
- Public launch pricing is not finalized.
- Pro Lifetime is modeled as a one-time non-consumable purchase in the app code.
- Background Markets freshness is a planned Pro capability in the app model.
- Final legal review is needed for website Privacy and Terms pages.
- Final production screenshots are still needed for marketing use.

## Important Boundaries
- Constrings is not an App Store Connect replacement.
- Save to App Store Connect saves metadata drafts only; it does not submit for review, publish, release, or change pricing.
- Markets data is advisory and does not mutate metadata drafts.
- Markets does not use Apple Ads.
- Constrings does not claim search-volume estimates, ASO difficulty scores, popularity scores, or ranking promises.
- The app documentation states there is no analytics SDK, crash reporter SDK, attribution SDK, telemetry pipeline, or third-party server.
