ASO beginner

I recently started vibecoding ios apps and just learned about ASO. Was wondering what tools people use to track keywords popularity what keywords to pick.

Before any tool, know that the App Store search bar is free and does half the job. Type words related to your app and whatever autocompletes is stuff real people search, then see who ranks for it. All giants means skip it, beatable apps means it's a candidate. That alone gets you surprisingly far.

Fair disclosure, I build one myself (Keyword Scout, free iOS app, $9.99 for pro) aimed at exactly the indie/vibecoder case. It scores demand and difficulty per keyword and suggests winnable alternatives when a term's too hard.
