Packpour — pour one locale pack into every App Store Connect field


About

Packpour is a Chrome side panel scoped to appstoreconnect.apple.com. You already have AI write solid ASO copy — the bottleneck is moving it into App Store Connect, locale by locale, field by field. Packpour does that narrow step and nothing else.

Drop in a TXT or Markdown metadata pack, pick a locale, click Pour. Every labeled block lands in the matching field on the current page. Save and Submit stay manual — because for this workflow, a safe boundary beats "full auto".

Highlights

1. One Pack, Every Field

Import a structured TXT or Markdown file with labeled blocks (NAME, SUBTITLE, DESCRIPTION, KEYWORDS, PROMOTIONAL TEXT, SUPPORT URL, etc.). Packpour pours each value into the matching field on the current App Store Connect locale page in one click.

2. Smart Field Matching

Fields are matched by label first, then placeholder, aria-label, neighboring text, name, and id. If none match, Packpour falls back to filling the focused field — so even unusual ASC layouts stay workable.

3. Safe by Design

Password, payment, token, and secret-looking fields are always skipped. Packpour never clicks Save, Publish, or Submit for Review. Every action stops one step before commit — you review, you submit.

4. Local-First

Metadata packs live in Chrome's local storage. Nothing leaves your browser — no analytics, no cloud, no third-party servers. The extension is scoped by manifest to appstoreconnect.apple.com only.

5. AI-Pack Generator Built In

The in-extension Help tab ships a prompt that turns a one-sentence app idea into a complete multi-locale metadata pack, across every App Store language. Paste it to Claude / ChatGPT / Gemini / any model — get a ready-to-pour file back.

6. Ten UI Languages

UI strings ship in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese, and Italian. Auto-picks your Chrome language; the side panel lets you switch manually.

How It Works

Your AI (Claude / ChatGPT / Gemini / local model)
    ↓  "write me an ASO pack for <app idea>, every locale"
Metadata pack   (TXT or Markdown, one labeled block per field)
    ↓  import into Packpour side panel
App Store Connect locale page   (you open the locale you want to fill)
    ↓  click "Pour"
Fields matched by label / placeholder / aria-label / name / id / focus
    ↓  values written in place · Save / Submit still manual
You review and commit

No remote server in the loop. No background sync. Packpour is one click between your pack and the current ASC page.

Quick Start

  1. Install — Add Packpour from the Chrome Web Store.
  2. Open App Store Connect — Navigate to your app's metadata page for the locale you want to fill.
  3. Open Packpour — Click the Packpour icon to open the side panel, import your TXT / Markdown pack.
  4. Pour — Select the locale, click Pour. Review the filled fields, click Save yourself.

Pack Format

Each locale file uses stable field labels with a value block below each label:

NAME
My App Name

SUBTITLE
Short ASO subtitle

PROMOTIONAL TEXT
Short launch or update copy.

DESCRIPTION
Long App Store description.

KEYWORDS
comma,separated,keywords

SUPPORT URL
https://example.com/support

MARKETING URL
https://example.com

PRIVACY POLICY URL
https://example.com/privacy

The in-extension Help tab has an AI prompt that generates this exact format from one app idea, across every App Store locale.

Why Not Just Use X?

Manual copy-paste Full-auto scraper / bot iTMSTransporter + fastlane Packpour
Setup None — just you Node project, CI, tokens CLI toolchain, .itc creds Load unpacked, one install
Review before submit ❌ or weak ✅ (scripted) ✅ by design — never auto-submits
Per-locale cost Tens of minutes Low per run, high setup Medium per release ~1 minute per locale
Handles ASC layout changes You adapt Breaks silently Needs spec update Field matching degrades gracefully
Credentials needed Your ASC login App-Specific Password / API key .itc-transporter-session None beyond your browser session
Scope Whatever you click Full App Store Connect surface Full pipeline Just the current locale page
Privacy Local Often cloud Local 100% local, side panel only

Packpour is narrow on purpose. If you want full-release automation, use fastlane. If you want quick, safe, per-locale metadata filling while keeping human review, Packpour is for you.
