For Astro / Helm / Pricetag refugee
Forvibe for developers leaving macOS-only launch tools
Astro, Helm, and Pricetag are well-designed macOS apps. They're also macOS-only, Apple-only, and three separate subscriptions. If you bought a Windows laptop, hired someone on Linux, or just want to ship on Android, you hit a wall. Forvibe is the cross-platform web workspace that replaces all three with a single $9.99/month subscription — and speaks Google Play natively.
Sound familiar?
- You've moved to Windows or Linux and your Mac is your only launch blocker.
- You're paying for Astro, Helm, and Pricetag separately — three subscriptions, three UIs.
- Adding Android means learning a whole new tooling stack on top of the macOS ones you've invested in.
- You want a teammate on a non-Mac device to share the ASO or pricing work.
- Your macOS app won't sync when Pricetag or Astro stop getting updated.

Frequently asked questions
Can I import my Astro keyword lists?
Astro doesn't expose a public export API, so direct import is not currently supported. Forvibe's ASO Studio includes a competitor tear-down feature: point it at your app's bundle ID and it imports the currently-ranking keyword set from the stores directly, which effectively rebuilds your list in minutes.
What about Helm's TestFlight build management?
Forvibe's TestFlight Management feature covers the same surface: build lists, tester groups, external testing invites, build expiration tracking. It also adds the Android equivalent (Internal/Closed/Open Testing tracks in Play Console) that Helm can't reach.
Does Forvibe support subscription-based pricing the way Pricetag does?
Yes — subscription tier pricing across all 175 Apple territories with the same country-level granularity Pricetag offers, plus the equivalent Google Play price point mapping. Includes pricing indexes from popular apps to use as benchmarks.
Is Forvibe as polished as the macOS apps?
Honest answer: Astro, Helm, and Pricetag are native-feeling macOS apps with decades of HIG-compliant design. Forvibe is a web app — fast, responsive, modern, but it's in the browser. Trade-off: cross-platform, cross-store, cross-team collaboration, live updates without app store wait times.
Can my team on Windows actually use Forvibe?
Yes — Forvibe is a web app, so any modern browser on Windows, Linux, Chrome OS, iPad, or anything with 1024px+ screens works. Your designer on Windows can edit screenshots, your marketer on Linux can run ASO research, and nobody needs a Mac except for actually compiling the IPA.
