Every morning I'd open App Store Connect in Safari, enter my password for the millionth time, then wait 8 seconds for the dashboard to load. Everything took too many clicks and way too long to load.
I did this for years and got tired of it. 🧵

Bro, go easy on automating replies with claude!
If you build apps for the App Store, this is the tool I genuinely wish I'd had from day one.

Would mean the world if you gave it a try 🙏
AppDesk's subscription view shows you exactly what's happening in real time:
→ Active subscribers (with trend)
→ MRR broken down by product
→ Trial conversion rate
→ Churn risk — users currently in billing grace periods
→ Cancellations vs reactivations on a timeline
Most App Store analytics tools are SaaS products that store YOUR revenue data on THEIR servers.
AppDesk works completely differently.
It connects directly to Apple's API — your data syncs straight to your Mac and nowhere else. No intermediary servers. No third-party storage.
Good thing Apple provided API access. So I built the app I wanted, just the way I liked. Fast, keyboard friendly navigation, data syncs and get stored only on local device.
Meet AppDesk — a native macOS and iOS client built with SwiftUI that helps you see your app sales quicker and easier.

Deciding how to price your app is a real struggle. What price would you feel right charging for a native iOS and mac OS app that gives you sales, proceeds, downloads and subscription metrics, reviews etc that is so much more accessible and joy to use than the web version?

If you have published iOS or Mac apps in appstore, you might not want to miss this. Does a native macOS app store connect client seem appealing to you? Looking for few beta testers whom I can send testflight invites to. DM me if you are interested. Thanks!

User reported my menu bar app was getting displayed partially offscreen and made it completely unusable. I tried it on 2 different machines and couldn’t repro.
Turns out he was using an external monitor and my frame positioning logic was grabbing the wrong frame using NSScreen.main. #buildinpublic
Yes, definitely planning on tracking the redemption rates across platforms.

Most important skill an entreprenuer needs is self-discipline to stay focused on what matters most every single day. Drifting away slowly to less important things comes naturally, but staying course amist all distractions and heading full steam requires a conscious effort.

What do you use for vibe designing? I have been using Claude code for simple coding and design tasks and i am happy with it so far. Comment if you have used any other AI tools for doing vibe designing?
Claude saying you’re absolutely right on every response is literally quite annoying. I would rather have it articulate the pros and cons before jumping straight to implementation or even push back on some user suggestions
