App Store keyword field checker

Apple indexes your app name, subtitle and keyword field — and counts each word once. Paste yours in to see what's actually indexed and how many characters you're wasting.

How this works

Apple builds one searchable index from your name + subtitle + keyword field, and each word counts once across all three. So a word that appears in your name and again in your keyword field isn't indexed twice — it's just spending characters you already paid for. This tool finds those, plus the other classic character-burners.

It checks for:

One caveat

Apple publishes the field limits but not the ranking algorithm. This tool applies the widely-established behaviours — single counting, no phrase needed, stemming — not inside knowledge of Apple's index. Treat it as a way to stop obvious waste, not as a ranking oracle.

Do this for every language, automatically

Storeboard runs this analysis across all your languages at once, and adds Popularity, Difficulty and Opportunity per country — on your Mac, nothing uploaded.
