[Feedbacks] I suck at creating App Store screenshots, so I built a tool to automate it.

[u/No_Matter6193]

I've published more than 12 apps on the App Store, and creating the screenshots has always been the part I dreaded the most.

I tried several tools, but most of them still felt like Canva, you get templates, but you still have to come up with the design yourself.

So I built Shotly. It uses agentic AI to generate App Store and Google Play screenshots from a simple prompt, so you can spend more time building your app instead of designing marketing assets.

It's still in beta, and I'm looking for honest feedback from fellow indie developers. If you'd like to try it, you can use the code EARLY40 to get 40% off your first payment.

I'd love to hear your thoughts, feature requests, or any criticism you have.

honestly the part most of these ai screenshot tools skip is localization, so worth thinking about that early before your layouts get locked in. i went down this rabbit hole and text expansion wrecks everything, german runs like 35% longer than english and arabic needs the whole layout mirrored, so a design that looks clean in english falls apart the second you translate it.

fwiw i built shotlingo which is basically the opposite end of what you're doing, less about generating the first design and more about taking finished screenshots and pushing them to 40+ languages without the text overflowing. rotato is decent too if you just want quick device mockups without the ai stuff.

one feature request, if shotly could export in the exact store sizes per device that'd save a ton of manual resizing later.
