Ship releases without the browser maze.
Helm turns version prep into a clear path: create the release, polish What’s New, pick a build, check what’s missing, then submit when you’re ready.
Create versions and write What’s New
Start a new version, browse past releases, and edit What’s New per language without bouncing between App Store Connect tabs.
Reuse release note templates when you ship often, or import metadata from CSV when you already have the copy ready.
- Create and browse versions on macOS, iOS, and via helm-asc
- Edit What’s New and promotional text per localization
- Import release metadata from CSV on Mac
Attach builds and choose how you release
Select a build for the version, or let Helm auto-select when that fits your flow. Set automatic, manual, or after-approval release on Mac, with app-level defaults in Settings.
Track phased release progress and release to all users when you’re ready to open the gates.
Launch checklist before you submit
The launch checklist surfaces what’s still missing: What’s New, build, encryption, review info, screenshots, and listing fields. You see the gaps before App Review does.
Submit for review, reject a binary, or ship when approval lands. Jump to App Store Connect for the current version whenever you need the web view.
- Export compliance and App Clip default experience when needed
- Submit, reject, or release from Mac, iPhone, or the CLI
- Deep links open the right version with
helm-app://
Built for Mac, ready on iPhone
macOS is the full workstation for releases. The iOS companion keeps versions, builds, and phased releases moving when you’re away from your desk.
FAQ
Can I manage phased releases in Helm?
Yes. Track phased release progress and release to all users from macOS and iOS. On Mac you can also set preferred release behavior as an app default.
Does Helm replace App Store Connect for submissions?
Helm is a native companion that talks to the App Store Connect API. You prepare and submit from Helm, and you can still open the current version on the web when you need to.
Is there a checklist before I submit?
Yes. The launch checklist covers What’s New, build selection, encryption, review information, screenshots, and listing fields so you know what’s left before you submit.
