The app I kept wishing existed

Why I built a native Search Console app for iOS, and where it is headed.

I'm Tarik. I run a few sites and check Search Console on my laptop most days. I wanted that same clarity on iOS. When nothing else matched how I work, I built the app I kept reaching for.

Why it exists

The gap on mobile

Search Console became part of my routine. Traffic dips, new queries, a page that suddenly ranks. I checked often enough that opening the desktop site on a phone stopped feeling like a workaround and started feeling like friction.

Safari on iOS gets the job done if you zoom and wait. I did that for months. Between meetings, on a train, standing in line. Each time I had the same thought: this data matters right now, and the interface was built for a monitor.

Google publishes an official API. Forum threads go back years asking for a native app. Nothing shipped from Google. Fair enough. They own the web product.

I tried what was already on the App Store. Some apps asked for more trust than I was willing to give. Others buried the numbers I cared about behind menus and upsells. None felt like opening my own Search Console account.

I wanted one native place for the questions I already ask at my desk: how is traffic, which queries moved, which pages matter, are vitals still healthy.

Starting small, still building

So I started with the basics. Sign in with Google. Pick a property. Read performance, queries, top pages, Core Web Vitals, URL inspection, and sitemaps without relearning a new stack. Same account, same API data, less tab hopping.

The first version was for me. A keyword shift on a slow Tuesday. A vitals warning before a deploy. Proof that a traffic dip was real, not a caching glitch. If the app could answer those quickly, it earned a home screen slot.

I still use it every day, and I am still improving it. Version 2.0 brought clearer errors, smoother charts, and settings that stay out of the way. Some reports still open the web for now. Your subscription helps me close that gap instead of chasing ads.

The long-term goal is one spot on my phone for the site information I need, without opening a pile of browser tabs. Search Console for iOS is independent. Not Google. Not an agency pitch deck. One developer, one app, built for people who already trust Search Console and want it within reach on iOS.

What I stand by

How the app stays honest

  • Your account, your data

    The app reads from Google's Search Console API and shows it on your device. I do not store your search data on my servers or sell it. Manage your Google privacy.

  • Built for a quick read

    Open, scan, decide. No feed of notifications pretending to be insights. The layout favors the numbers you opened the app for.

  • Built in the open, one release at a time

    I dogfood every build. If a screen feels slow or vague to me, it gets fixed. If something important is still missing, it goes on the list.
