Stay close to App Store Connect
See release and build status, listing details, reviews, TestFlight feedback, available analytics, and screenshots. Prepare release notes and marketing drafts.
Keep assets ready
Organize reusable images, create and check screenshot sets, and export a shareable image of your app lineup.
Inside the app
Get started
- Download the latest release, open the DMG, and drag Indie Dev Buddy to Applications.
- Open the app and create a workspace, or choose an existing one. Pick a folder you can access and back up.
- Add an app or website, then create a draft or connect a social account when you're ready.
The app is signed and notarized and checks for updates through Sparkle. Read the getting started guide.
Share on your terms
Connect a supported account to publish or schedule from the app, or plan manually and post elsewhere.
Connected publishing: Bluesky, Facebook Pages, Threads, Instagram, X, LinkedIn, and Mastodon.
Manual planning: GitHub accounts and custom platforms.
Where providers permit it, review account activity and interact with posts or comments. Features depend on the provider, account setup, and permissions. Explore social connections.
Your workspace, your tools
Your workspace lives in a folder you choose, with ordinary files you can back up. There is no hosted account or cloud scheduler.
Built for people and agents
The included indiedevbuddy command-line tool lets people, scripts, and AI agents manage workspace records and drafts. It returns structured JSON and supports revision checks and validation. Each workspace includes agent guidance and a marketing content skill; no MCP server is required.
The CLI manages workspace data. Connecting accounts, scheduling, and publishing happen in the app.

Social credentials are stored in macOS Keychain. App Store Connect requires an installed, authenticated asc command-line tool and provides read-only access. It cannot upload metadata or screenshots, submit versions, or reply to reviews. Analytics depend on available reports and profile permissions.
Open source and ready to explore
Indie Dev Buddy is available under the MIT License. Build from source with Xcode 27.2 or later, or help improve the app through issues, code, and documentation.
