Every app store review.
One Mac app.
Nothing leaves it.
ReviewHeron gathers reviews from all your apps across the App Store and Google Play into one timeline — and drafts replies on-device. Your data and your API keys stay on your Mac. No tracking — crash reports only if you switch them on.
No account · No subscription to use AI · Free on-device drafting with Apple Intelligence
Local-first & private
No backend for your data, no account. On-device AI, or bring your own key.
One inbox, every store
All your apps, App Store + Google Play, in a single timeline.
Reply in minutes
On-device drafts, templates, tone presets. You stay in control.
Everything about reviews, in one place
Four screens do the work that used to mean two consoles, a dozen tabs, and a lot of copy-paste.
One unified inbox
Every review from all your apps, both stores, in a single timeline. Filter by unreplied, rating, sentiment or store — no more bouncing between consoles.
AI workbench, prompt in plain sight
Draft replies on-device with Apple Intelligence, or your own Claude / OpenAI key. You see the exact prompt before anything runs, tweak the draft, then send.
Love the concept but the app crashes every time I try to add a new emergency contact from my address book.
You are {dev_name}, the developer of {app}.
Acknowledge the crash on {version}, confirm a fix is
coming, keep it short and human. Sign off as {dev_name}.
Insights that actually matter
Reply rate, median response time, unreplied count and rating trend — per app or across everything. Know what needs attention at a glance.

Turn your best replies into reusable templates with variables. Pick a tone, fill the blanks, keep the repetitive stuff fast and on-brand.
Local-first isn't a feature. It's the whole point.
Every other review tool is a cloud dashboard that ingests your data. ReviewHeron is a Mac app you download — because the one thing you can't undo is handing your data to someone else's server.
No backend for your data.
There's no cloud to breach — your reviews go store → Mac and are never relayed through us. The one thing that can ever leave, and only if you switch it on, is a scrubbed crash report: no content, no identifier, no stored IP.
Keys in the Keychain
Bring your own Claude or OpenAI key and it's stored in the macOS Keychain — on your machine, never uploaded.
On-device AI, free
Apple Intelligence drafts, classifies and translates right on your Mac. Offline-capable, no quota, no cost.
ReviewHeron vs. cloud review tools
Appbot, AppFollow, AppReply and the rest are capable — but they're cloud SaaS built for support departments. Here's the difference that matters.
Buy it once. It's yours.
No subscription, no seats, no upsell to unlock the AI. The anti-SaaS price for an anti-SaaS app.
Yours forever — no subscription, ever.

Straight answers
Yes — literally. Your reviews are fetched straight from the stores to your Mac, your API keys live in the macOS Keychain, and none of your content is ever relayed through me. The only exception is opt-in: if you switch on crash reports, ReviewHeron sends a scrubbed stack trace — no personal data, no identifier, no stored IP — so I can fix what's breaking. Off by default, and you can turn it off anytime.
No. On-device drafting with Apple Intelligence is free and built in. If you want a more capable model you can plug in your own Claude or OpenAI key — but it's entirely optional.
Both the App Store and Google Play, across all of your apps, in one unified timeline. There's no per-app or per-seat limit.
No — it's a notarized direct download (.dmg) with Sparkle auto-updates. No sandbox limits, no review delay on updates. First launch shows a quick 'how to open' note.
89 € once. No subscription. There's a 14-day trial with no credit card up front, and free updates within the major version.
