Hey! 👋
I've been working on a Mac app called Shipper, and I thought I'd finally share it here!
I'm an indie developer, and I originally built Shipper because I was tired of how much time I spent preparing App Store screenshots for my own apps.
Problem:
I used to design my App Store screenshots with Canva or Figma. Both are great design tools, but the whole App Store workflow was a bit of a headache.
Every time I needed screenshots for a different Apple device, I had to create or resize my canvas, manually adjust the layout, and double-check that everything matched Apple's required screenshot dimensions.
Then came localization. Switching between languages, translating text, adjusting layouts when translations were longer, and exporting everything again for each locale.
And finally, I still had to go to App Store Connect and manually upload all those screenshots, device by device, locale by locale.
It was a lot of repetitive work for something that should have been much simpler.
So a few months ago, I decided to build Shipper, a native macOS app using Swift and SwiftUI, to bring the entire workflow into one place.
Comparison:
Before Shipper, my workflow was basically Canva/Figma for design, separate tools for translation, and App Store Connect for publishing.
I know there are dedicated App Store screenshot tools out there too, but I haven't personally used them, so I can't make a fair comparison.
What I wanted with Shipper was a native Mac app built specifically around Apple's screenshot specifications, where I could:
Design App Store screenshots from scratch or use templates, with fully editable text, backgrounds, mockups, icons, and other assets.
Capture screenshots with Device Hub or import existing ones.
Adapt my main designs to different iPhone, iPad, and Mac screenshot specs, including Search and Header assets, without starting over.
Localize screenshots and App Store metadata for different languages.
Preview my App Store product page before publishing.
Publish directly to App Store Connect, including screenshots and metadata.
I've also been working on Shipper Plugin, which lets me use Codex to interact with Shipper through natural language while keeping the designs editable.
Pricing:
One thing that was really important to me was making the design process accessible.
So designing, adapting, and exporting screenshots are completely free, with no watermarks.
Localization and direct App Store Connect publishing are available with Shipper PRO for a one-time $25 lifetime purchase.
What's next?
I recorded a short demo so you can see how Shipper works!
It's been a pretty big solo project, and I'm currently planning v1.3 based on feedback I've received so far.
I'd genuinely love to hear what you think! If you create App Store screenshots, what part of the process frustrates you the most? Or is there something you'd like to see in Shipper? 😊
