Mac apps are no longer an afterthought in HighGrow ASO. July 2026 updates bring Mac parity with mobile keyword intelligence.

What's new

• **Live Mac keyword ranks** from App Store search with country fallback when a storefront has sparse SERP data • **Global market ranks** with inline competitor and #1 app detail panels — expand rows without losing table context • **Revenue estimates** using grossing rank signals and iTunes metadata hints when Apple verified sales data is unavailable • **Top charts fallback** via `macSoftware` search when standard chart feeds return empty categories

Why Mac ASO matters in 2026

Apple Silicon unified the install base. Productivity and developer tools increasingly ship Mac + iOS together. Keyword overlap between iPhone and Mac search is measurable — track both from one org.

Updated stats (July 2026)

• 50+ storefronts supported for global rank tables • Keyword quick-scan prioritizes existing tracked terms before full harvest • Protected keywords survive prune operations during intelligence scans

Track your first Mac app from Dashboard → ASO → Add app → select Mac platform.
