RankGear is a desktop application: you run it on your own Mac or PC, connect the provider accounts you already use, and your project data and reports stay on your machine.
Operating systems
- macOS — macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later, on Apple silicon.
- Windows — Windows 11, on x64 or ARM64.
RankGear runs the same shared analysis and reporting engine on both platforms, so results and workbooks stay consistent across a team’s machines.
Provider accounts (bring your own)
RankGear reads live search data — and can assist with content — using external providers that you connect with your own API keys. Requests go directly from your computer to those providers, and any usage is billed to your own accounts with them. RankGear never sits between you and your data.
- A search / data provider for reading the competitive field.
- Optionally, an AI provider for model-assisted interpretation and drafting.
Because the keys are yours, you control cost and access, and any provider usage that costs money is shown as a billable action before it runs.
Where your data lives
Projects, keys, and generated workbooks are stored locally as files on your device — nothing about your work or your clients is uploaded to a RankGear server. See how RankGear measures for what the numbers mean, and the glossary for the terms.
