How you win

Early. Contrarian. High-conviction.

  1. EARLY
    Move 1 · Spot it first

    Rank velocity surfaces a niche heating up months before it’s obvious. Early is the whole edge.

  2. CONTRARIAN
    Move 2 · Zag where they zig

    The crowd piles into the hot charts. The opening is the field nobody’s watching yet.

  3. CONVICTION
    Move 3 · Bet what you can defend

    One niche, backed by evidence you can point to — not fifty maybes. Build the position you believe in.

See a niche the way an analyst would

Every niche resolves to a memo you could hand to a partner — and a scanner that shows you the whole board at once.

Coming Fall 2026

The Opportunity Index

A living benchmark of App Store niche health — where demand is rising, where incumbents are abandoning ship, where the openings are opening. Built from the daily capture, updated weekly, free to read, and made to be cited.

Foundation — already live

60+ niches captured every day since August 2026 — on a static IP, inside Apple’s rate limits, degrading to stale data rather than ever risking a block. That’s the history the Index is built on.

Watch it accrue →
  • See the whole market move

    Every niche ranked by momentum and health — not just the top 100 charts everyone already watches.

  • Spot the turn early

    Abandonment and saturation shifts surfaced the week they happen, while the opening is still open.

  • A number you can cite

    A public weekly benchmark indie builders, press, and investors can reference and link to.

  • Alerts on your thesis

    Get pinged the moment a niche you’re watching crosses a threshold you care about.

Be early. Be contrarian. Build with conviction.

Stop guessing which app to build. Start with the one the evidence already favors.
