App Store Connect for Mac, without the browser maze.
Apple’s website works. It was not designed for the weekly shipping loop. Helm is a native Mac companion for App Store Connect so releases, listings, TestFlight, and reviews stay in one focused workspace.
Built for the Mac shipping loop
Create versions, write What’s New, attach builds, run a launch checklist, and submit when you are ready. Edit name, subtitle, keywords, and screenshots beside the release you are shipping.
Manage TestFlight groups and feedback, triage customer reviews with templates, and keep in-app purchases and events moving without hopping across ASC tabs.
- Native macOS UI tuned for release work
- Launch checklist before you submit
- Reviews, TestFlight, listing, and IAPs in one app
What Helm is (and is not)
Helm talks to the App Store Connect API with your account. You still use Apple’s site for agreements, banking, and account admin. For preparing and shipping updates, Helm is the Mac workstation.
No App Analytics claims. Helm focuses on metadata, media, submissions, TestFlight, and reviews. The work you do every release, not dashboards Apple already owns.
Mac first, iPhone when you are away
macOS is the full workstation. The iOS companion covers reviews, listing tweaks, TestFlight, and status on the go. Pro unlocks helm-asc when agents or scripts join the loop.
FAQ
Is Helm an official Apple App Store Connect Mac app?
No. Helm is an independent native companion that uses the App Store Connect API. Apple’s website remains the source for account administration.
Can I submit apps from the Mac app?
Yes. Prepare the version, attach a build, complete review info, and submit from Helm. You can still open the current version on the web when you need to.
Does Helm replace Transporter?
Helm helps you manage versions, metadata, and submission after builds exist in App Store Connect. Upload workflows differ by team; see our Transporter comparison if that is your question.
