If you build mobile apps, you already know how fragmented the marketing workflow is: App Store Connect for metadata, a design tool for screenshots, a spreadsheet for Google Ads copy, and something else entirely for AI-generated content. LaunchPilot brings all of that into one focused desktop workspace — built specifically for iOS and mobile developers.

This guide walks you through everything from downloading the app to shipping your first polished App Store listing.

System Requirements

LaunchPilot is a macOS desktop app that runs on both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs. Before downloading, make sure your system meets the minimum requirement:

macOS 12 Monterey or later

That's it. No account signup required to get started.

Step 1: Download and Install

Head to launchpilot.cloud/download and grab the .dmg installer. Open the DMG, drag LaunchPilot to your Applications folder, and launch it.

The app supports Flutter, Swift iOS, and React Native projects. You can manage as many projects as you need — each one gets its own isolated workspace.

Step 2: Add Your First Project

When LaunchPilot opens, create a new project and point it to your app's project folder on disk. LaunchPilot automatically detects whether it's a Flutter, Swift iOS, or React Native project and sets up your workspace accordingly.

Every asset, setting, and credential is stored and remembered per project — switching between apps is instant.

Step 3: Use AI-Powered Generation

LaunchPilot supports connecting your preferred AI CLI tool to generate content automatically. Once connected, you can generate:

App Store metadata (name, subtitle, description, keywords)
Screenshot copy and overlays
Google Ads headlines and descriptions

Generate a first draft in seconds, then refine manually. It's the best of both worlds — AI speed with human polish.

Step 4: Write Your App Store Metadata

The App Store Metadata tab is where you manage your App Store listing text. Fields include:

App name — the title that appears on the App Store
Subtitle — the short tagline below your app name
Promotional text — the top-of-listing message (updatable without a new app version)
Description — the full body text of your listing
Keywords — comma-separated terms that drive search visibility

All fields are stored per project, so you'll never accidentally mix up metadata between your apps. You can also manage text across multiple locales if you support more than one language.

Step 5: Design Your Screenshots

The Screenshot Designer lets you create App Store screenshots without leaving LaunchPilot. Choose from built-in templates — including dark theme, bold typography, hero, and top-phone layouts — then customize:

Gradient backgrounds — pick your colors or use a preset
Text overlays — add headline and caption text with the fonts you want
Device mockups — real device frames rendered at the correct dimensions

When you're happy with a design, export to PNG sized correctly for App Store upload. No third-party design tool needed.

Step 6: Manage Your Google Ads

The Google Ads tab keeps all your ad copy organized by project. Write and iterate on:

Headlines — up to 30 characters each, shown in rotation
Descriptions — supporting copy for your campaigns

No more switching between tabs or digging through spreadsheets. Everything stays in one place alongside your App Store assets.

Step 7: Design Google Ads Visuals

The Ad Creative Assets feature lets you design Google Ads visuals directly in LaunchPilot. You get an accurate iPhone 6.9" device frame in portrait format — select a background image, add the device overlay, and preview exactly how your ad will look before exporting.

Assets export instantly, ready to upload to your Google Ads campaign.

Step 8: Deploy to App Store Connect

When your metadata and screenshots are ready, LaunchPilot can push them directly to App Store Connect with a single click. No manual uploads, no Apple's Transporter tool, no fuss.

Your listing goes live as soon as Apple reviews the submission — the same process as always, just with far less friction.
