App Store paid apps right now: August 12, 2026

Antizuck Smart Glasses Scanner debuts at rank 5 on App Store Top Paid on August 12, 2026, after the $3 Bluetooth smart-glasses detection app drew privacy-focused buyers through early August (9to5Mac/Gizmodo, July 31 to August 5). Earthquake Network holds rank 7 and My Earthquake Alerts Pro enters at rank 14 as Colombia's August 10 magnitude 7.4 quake death toll passes 200 (CNN/BBC, August 11 to 12). Shadowrocket still leads at rank 1 across 50 API rows (as_of 2026-08-12T06:01:42 UTC).

  1. Shadowrocket: An iOS network proxy utility on the August 12 App Store Top Paid chart. Rank 1 and unchanged from August 11. No widely reported trigger identified for August 12, 2026. Residual demand for proxy routing keeps Shadowrocket at the top of 50 API rows as of 2026-08-12T06:01:42 UTC.

  2. HotSchedules: An iOS employee scheduling app at rank 2. Same position as August 11. No widely reported trigger identified for August 12, 2026. Hospitality shift-management demand keeps HotSchedules locked on the podium.

  3. AnkiMobile Flashcards: An iOS spaced-repetition study app at rank 3, up from rank 4 on August 11. Back-to-school study demand may support the app as the 2026-27 academic year opens. No widely reported trigger identified for August 12, 2026.

  4. Wildwood: Follow the Crows: An iOS trail companion for Portland's Wildwood crow sculpture art walk at rank 4, up from rank 3 on August 11. The free public trail launched August 7 with LAIKA and Wild in Art; residual scavenger-hunt downloads keep the paid companion inside the top 5 (OregonLive, August 7 to 8).

  5. Antizuck Smart Glasses Scanner: An iOS Bluetooth scanner that alerts users when nearby smart glasses broadcast signals at rank 5, new to the published cut versus August 11. The $3 app climbed the paid chart in late July and early August amid privacy concerns about Meta Ray-Bans and other camera-equipped eyewear (9to5Mac, July 31; Gizmodo, August 5).

  6. Procreate Pocket: An iOS illustration app at rank 6, up from rank 5 on August 11. No widely reported trigger identified for August 12, 2026.

  7. Earthquake Network: An iOS crowdsourced earthquake early-warning app at rank 7, down from rank 8 on August 11. The August 10 Colombia magnitude 7.4 quake, with a death toll past 200 by August 12, plus local reporting that some iPhones missed native seismic alerts, continues to drive third-party quake app demand (CNN/BBC, August 10 to 12).

  8. TonalEnergy Tuner & Metronome: An iOS music practice utility at rank 8, down from rank 6 on August 11. No widely reported trigger identified for August 12, 2026.

  9. RadarScope: An iOS professional weather radar app at rank 9, down from rank 10 on August 11. No widely reported trigger identified for August 12, 2026 beyond continued late-summer weather monitoring demand.

  10. NightCap Camera: An iOS low-light photography app at rank 10, new to the published cut versus August 11. No widely reported trigger identified for August 12, 2026.

  11. Paprika Recipe Manager 3: An iOS recipe and meal-planning app at rank 11, down from rank 7 on August 11. No widely reported trigger identified for August 12, 2026.

  12. SkyView®: An iOS stargazing app at rank 12, down from rank 9 on August 11. The August 12 total solar eclipse and Perseid meteor shower peak drive residual astronomy interest (NASA, August 12).

  13. Monash FODMAP Diet: An iOS diet-tracking app from Monash University at rank 13, up from rank 12 on August 11. No widely reported trigger identified for August 12, 2026.

  14. My Earthquake Alerts Pro: An iOS paid earthquake alert app at rank 14, new to the published cut versus August 11. The Colombia magnitude 7.4 quake and rising death toll past 200 on August 11 to 12 lift a second seismic alert app into the published cut alongside Earthquake Network at rank 7 (CNN, August 11 to 12).

  15. PeakFinder: An iOS augmented-reality mountain peak identification app at rank 15, down from rank 11 on August 11. No widely reported trigger identified for August 12, 2026.

What changed on the App Store (Top Paid) since yesterday

Compared with the August 11, 2026 App Store Top Paid daily post, Antizuck Smart Glasses Scanner, NightCap Camera, and My Earthquake Alerts Pro enter the published 15 while Procreate Pocket, SkyView, Reelo, and Streaks drop off.

New entrants: Antizuck Smart Glasses Scanner at rank 5. NightCap Camera at rank 10. My Earthquake Alerts Pro at rank 14.

Big movers (5+ ranks): Paprika Recipe Manager 3 fell 4 slots (7 to 11). PeakFinder fell 4 slots (11 to 15). SkyView fell 3 slots (9 to 12). AnkiMobile Flashcards rose 1 slot (4 to 3). Wildwood fell 1 slot (3 to 4).

Drop-offs from August 11 top 15: Reelo - Media Hub (rank 13 yesterday; rank 22 on today's full board). Streaks (rank 15 yesterday; rank 20 on today's full board).

Two demand clusters split the August 12, 2026 board. Antizuck Smart Glasses Scanner at rank 5 reflects sustained privacy anxiety about camera-equipped eyewear after the app peaked near the paid top 3 in late July (9to5Mac, July 31). Earthquake Network at rank 7 and My Earthquake Alerts Pro at rank 14 both trace to Colombia's August 10 magnitude 7.4 quake with a death toll past 200 by August 12.

Shadowrocket at rank 1 and HotSchedules at rank 2 remain recurring chart fixtures with no fresh August 12 trigger. SkyView at rank 12 may benefit from eclipse-day astronomy interest as the August 12 total solar eclipse crosses Greenland, Iceland, and northern Spain (NASA, August 12).
