Toplify

App chart positions are public information, but they're scattered across 175 storefronts and 54 categories, which means almost nobody ever sees them whole. You can know your app is doing something in a market you've never thought about and still have no way of noticing it happened, App Store Connect measures downloads, not visibility, and the two rarely tell the same story.

Toplify, by Chuta, closes that gap without asking for anything in return: no account, no App Store Connect access, just a link or an App ID and the app starts tracking. It covers Top Free and Top Paid charts across every storefront on iOS, and MacOS, keeping ranking history, best positions, and country coverage in one place, with the countries that matter to you pinned to the top and everything synced through iCloud. Alerts flag the moves worth knowing about: a new market, a sharp climb, and achievement cards turn those moments into something shareable.
