Boilerplate
Appstead is a private App Store Connect companion for indie developers. It brings portfolio-wide proceeds, downloads, subscriptions, trends, and reviews to iPhone, iPhone Duo, and iPad, with credentials secured in Keychain and no Appstead server storing business data.
Founder
Jay is the indie iOS developer behind SlowBrewed Labs. He designs, builds, and maintains several apps solo, each one started from a problem he actually had: a glucose tracker built after his own diabetes diagnosis, on-device video captioning, and a journaling app for small wins. Privacy-first design and on-device processing wherever practical run through the portfolio.
Origin story
Appstead started when Apple removed the portfolio overview from App Store Connect, with Trends expected to follow. Managing several apps without a single view across all of them got old fast, so Jay built Appstead to give indie developers that visibility back, on iPhone, iPhone Duo, and iPad.
It's built for the same kind of developer who's building it: indie and small-team iOS developers managing more than one app, who want their App Store business to fit in a pocket instead of a browser tab.
