Release notes

Every user-visible change, newest first. Veldo updates itself: when a release ships, the app offers to install it and relaunch.

0.5.4 September 1, 2026

  • Opening Veldo no longer crashes on the brand mark.

0.5.3 August 31, 2026

  • Opening Veldo no longer recrawls every keyword before you can work. Hourly collection refreshes a slice of stale ranks in parallel with Apple Ads, so the toolbar stays usable.
  • Refresh Now (⌘R) updates ranks for the market on screen, plus Apple Ads, instead of starting a full crawl of every storefront.
  • Spend 30d and Installs 30d on the overview now match the Last 30 days graph, including Search Match and other campaigns that only report spend at the campaign level.

0.5.2 August 27, 2026

  • Apple Ads spend and verdicts now work for Search Match and Maximize Conversions campaigns. Veldo reads campaign-level spend and search terms, not only targeting-keyword reports, which those campaigns do not have.
  • Connecting Apple Ads starts collection immediately, and ⌘R refreshes Ads as well as ranks. The first collect backfills 30 days. When Ads is connected but there is no spend yet, the overview says so instead of hiding the graph.
  • If an Apple Ads key sees several organizations, you pick which one to use.
  • RevenueCat: paste a secret key, pick the project when the key sees several, and revenue matches your app by bundle ID.
  • App Store Connect metadata pushes are logged, so you can restore the previous values.

0.5.1 August 26, 2026

  • Keywords no longer sit on Collecting. Rank collection now waits its turn instead of stacking overlapping searches (Apple was rejecting those and Veldo stayed silent), never-collected keywords go first so they fill in within minutes, and leftover gaps retry every hour instead of waiting for the next full pass.
  • When a rank fetch fails, the toolbar and the menu bar show the count, with an automatic retry each hour.

0.5.0 August 8, 2026

  • Metadata push to App Store Connect: draft your title, subtitle, and keyword field per market, then push them straight to your app's next version without leaving Veldo.
  • Keyword movement view: one screen of your biggest rank gainers and losers across every app and market, with the releases that landed in the same window marked inline. Open it from the sidebar or with ⌘M.
  • Keywords that fall out of the top 200 now show up as the biggest drop instead of disappearing from the comparison.
  • The appearance override applies to every window and sheet, so Dark Mode no longer leaves a light panel behind.
  • Payments moved to Polar. Existing licenses keep working; nothing to do.

0.4.2 July 17, 2026

  • New keywords and newly added markets now collect their ranks immediately instead of waiting for the next daily run.

0.4.1 July 16, 2026

  • Competitor monitoring alerts: get a notification when a competitor overtakes you on a keyword, enters your top 10, or ships an update.
  • First sightings stay silent, so adding a new competitor never spams you.

0.4.0 July 16, 2026

  • Custom product pages advisor (iOS 26): connect App Store Connect, sync your CPPs, record keyword assignments, and see which popular keywords deserve a page, and which assignments are wasted.
  • New App Store Connect tab in Settings; API keys are validated locally and stored in your Keychain.

0.3.2 July 16, 2026

  • Version markers on charts: releases (yours and your competitors') appear on the overview chart and rank sparklines, so you can read every move against the update that caused it.
  • Version history accumulates automatically from data Veldo already collects; no extra requests.

0.3.1 July 16, 2026

  • Metadata draft editor: draft your title, subtitle, and keyword field with live character counts, wasted-character warnings, and coverage scoring against the keywords you track. Drafts stay on your Mac.

0.3.0 July 16, 2026

  • Rank alerts: top-10 crossings and moves of 10+ places arrive as macOS notifications after each collection.
  • A keyword's first-ever collection stays silent, so onboarding a batch of keywords never floods you.

0.2.5 July 16, 2026

  • License activation from the purchase link now works while the app is already running, not just on launch.

0.2.0 – 0.2.4 July 15–16, 2026

  • Automatic license activation after purchase: buy, click, unlocked.
  • Sparkle auto-updates: new versions install themselves and relaunch.
  • Developer ID signing and notarization: no Gatekeeper warnings.
  • Guided first-run onboarding.

0.1.0 July 2026

  • The core: keyword rank tracking in 60+ storefronts, Apple Ads spend and popularity, RevenueCat revenue per keyword, verdicts, reverse ASO, keyword gap, reviews tracking, on-device translation, CLI + MCP server, and the Veldo Pulse community index.
