Most indie developers don't know where their apps are ranking.

When I started selling apps on the App Store, I was surprised to discover that App Store Connect doesn’t show where your app ranks across countries. Most ASO tools can do this, but they’re often expensive and overloaded with features that many indie developers simply don’t need. And they can’t send these updates in real time. Instead, they often send daily or weekly stats by email.

I wanted something simpler. A place where I could open my app and immediately see the results of my marketing: which countries it’s ranking in, where it’s growing, and how those positions change over time.

That’s why I built Toplify.

And unexpectedly, one of my favorite parts became the notifications. Seeing “Your app entered the Top 50 in Japan” or “Your app jumped +56 positions in the US” is a tiny dopamine hit.

It’s a small thing, but it makes marketing feel much more rewarding and motivates you to keep going.
