SEO software for Mac
SEO software that feels like a Mac app.
Altitude is a native rank tracker for macOS: it tracks your Google rankings, brings in Search Console data, researches keywords and measures your visibility in AI search. No browser tabs and no monthly fee: one fast app, with your data on your own machine.
Free with 1 project and 2 keywords, no card needed. macOS 14 or later, Apple silicon and Intel.
Why a native app instead of yet another web tool
Most SEO tools live in the browser and charge every month for access to your own data. Altitude is written in Swift for macOS 14 or later: it opens instantly, works offline with the history you already have and fits into the system like any Apple app.
- Widgets for the desktop and Notification Center, plus a menu bar extra with the day’s movements
- Alerts when a keyword enters the top 3 or page one, hits its best position or moves as many places as you choose
- Keyboard shortcuts, Shortcuts actions, Spotlight, light and dark modes, and PDF and CSV reports
- Signed and notarized by Apple; runs on Apple silicon and Intel
Google rank tracking without artificial limits
Create projects and add as many keywords as you need, by country, language and device. Altitude checks every day (or as often as you choose) where your site ranks and which URL Google shows. Every morning it sums up what went up, what went down and your biggest opportunity, and it opens every keyword with its history, today’s results page and the visits you would gain by moving up.
- Unlimited projects and keywords: the only variable cost is the data you request
- Up to five competitors, measured on the same results you already check
- Pages with their keywords, and an alert when Google swaps the ranking URL (cannibalization)
Search Console and keyword research in the same app
Connect Search Console with your Google account to see clicks, impressions and CTR next to the positions Altitude checks, with suggestions on which pages to push or merge. To find new opportunities, every DataforSEO Labs search brings search volume, keyword difficulty, intent, a 12-month trend and your gap against competitors.
Your data stays on your Mac
There is no Altitude account, no analytics and no telemetry. Your DataforSEO credentials live in the macOS Keychain and your history stays on your machine, with JSON backups.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best SEO software for Mac?
It depends on what you need. For technical audits or a link index of their own, a web suite such as Semrush or Ahrefs. To track rankings, Search Console, keywords, backlinks and AI visibility in a native app with no subscription, Altitude is built for exactly that.
Is Altitude free?
You can use it free forever with 1 project and 2 keywords and every feature. Altitude Pro, with no limits, is a one-time purchase. Google data is paid to DataforSEO for what you request, at cost.
Which macOS version do I need?
macOS 14 Sonoma or later, on Apple silicon or Intel Macs.
Does it run on Windows or iPhone?
No. Altitude is a native macOS app, which is the whole point. To move to another Mac, export a backup and import it there; your license moves with you.
Does it replace Semrush or Ahrefs?
It replaces the rank tracking part, which is what many people pay those subscriptions for. It also covers backlinks with DataforSEO data: referring domains, new and lost links, anchors and link gaps. It does not do technical audits.
