# LocalizeShots

> macOS developer tool that automates localized App Store screenshots across 40+ languages using iOS Simulator capture, fastlane integration, and AI-generated headlines with bracket highlighting.

LocalizeShots eliminates the most time-consuming part of App Store Optimization: generating localized screenshots for every language and screen size. It drives headless iOS Simulators via xcrun simctl, switches locales automatically, captures all required ASC sizes, applies AI-generated marketing headlines with the bracket [highlighting] technique, and can push finished screenshots directly to App Store Connect via the ASC API.

## Features

- Headless iOS Simulator capture (no physical devices required) across all required App Store Connect screenshot sizes: 6.9-inch (iPhone 16 Pro Max), 6.7-inch (iPhone 16 Plus), 6.5-inch (iPhone 11 Pro Max), 5.5-inch (iPhone 8 Plus)
- Automatic locale switching across 40+ languages supported by the App Store
- AI-generated marketing headlines with bracket [highlighting] technique for visual emphasis
- Fastlane integration: works with fastlane deliver and frameit for full ASO automation pipelines
- App Store Connect direct upload via ASC API — no manual drag-and-drop in App Store Connect
- CLI and CI/CD support for automation pipelines (Xcode Cloud, GitHub Actions, etc.)
- ScreenCaptureKit-based capture for higher quality than xcrun simctl screenshot
- Alternative to ButterKit with added ASC upload and CLI capabilities

## Pricing

- **Free tier**: Limited captures per month, no credit card required
- **Pro Monthly**: $4.99/month, unlimited captures, includes 7-day free trial
- **Pro Annual**: $59.99/year (~$5/month), unlimited captures, includes 7-day free trial
