ButterKit
ButterKit is a native macOS application for creating, localizing, and publishing App Store screenshots and metadata. It combines screenshot capture from Xcode Simulator, image import from linked folders such as Fastlane, and design tools in one app. Users can place screenshots into high-resolution 3D device frames, apply professionally designed templates, fonts, gradients, and backgrounds, and preview designs. The app also provides AI-powered translation for screenshots and metadata across all 50 App Store languages. ButterKit supports automation through AI/MCP integration and bulk export or upload to App Store Connect, aiming to reduce repetitive file juggling and manual localization. It is distributed as a macOS app, including via the Mac App Store, and offers templates, documentation, and a Motion beta feature.
