How it works
Two minutes to a working link.
Find your app
Type its name or paste its App Store link. Howdy reads the public listing: icon, screenshots, rating, description and release notes. No API keys, nothing to connect.
Share your links
Use your smart link in your bio, and make one tagged link for each post, video or newsletter. iPhones go straight to the App Store.
See what works
Exact visit and tap counts per link, by country and device. Spot your best channel, then post more of what works.
Everything an app needs to be found.
Smart link
One link per app that knows the device. iPhone and iPad open the App Store. Android opens Google Play if you add it. Desktop sees your landing page.
Source links
A tagged link per channel, with presets for X, Reddit, Product Hunt, TikTok, YouTube, Instagram and newsletters, plus QR codes.
Landing page
Built from your listing: screenshots, rating, what's new, app info, TestFlight, support and review blocks. 15 templates.
Profile for all your apps
One page that lists every app with its live rating, price and a Get button. 24 templates made for developers.
Ratings tracker
Your public rating and rating count saved on every sync, so you see how many new ratings a launch earned.
Launch kit
Draft posts for X, Reddit, Product Hunt, TikTok, Instagram and your newsletter. Each one creates its own tracked link.
Share card and badge
A rich preview when your link is shared, and a live-rating README badge that links back to your smart link.
App directory
Opt in to be listed at howdy.bio/apps so people can find your app. Off by default.
Templates for developers
Not a list of buttons. Your apps.
Browse all templates →Profiles that show ratings, price, versions and a Get button. Shelf, home screen, store page, terminal, metrics board and more, each fully editable.
Honest about installs.
Apple only reports installs inside App Store Connect, aggregated and delayed. So Howdy keeps the exact numbers it can see, and is clear about the rest.
Exact, from Howdy
Every visit and App Store tap on your links, live, by link, country and device.
From Apple, optional
Paste your campaign provider token and each link also tells App Store Connect its campaign, so Apple counts installs per link.
Yours to add
Type each link's installs from App Store Connect into Howdy and see your install rate side by side with visits.
Developers, answered.
No. Howdy reads your public App Store listing through Apple's public iTunes API. You never paste a key. Apple's install numbers stay in App Store Connect, and you can optionally enter them next to each link.
