AppealKit — Get your dev account back. Fast.

The Problem

When Apple, Google Play, or Meta terminates your developer account for a policy violation—even a minor one from a rogue employee—you're locked out with no human to talk to. Your appeal disappears into an automated black hole. Small teams and solo developers have no playbook, no legal resources, and no way to prove they've fixed the problem. One mistake costs you your entire business.

What We're Building

AppealKit is a platform that helps developers win back terminated accounts. We provide: (1) a diagnostic audit that identifies exactly what triggered the termination, (2) a battle-tested appeal template tailored to each platform's policies, (3) a compliance checklist to prove you've fixed the underlying issue, and (4) optional managed appeal service where our team submits and advocates on your behalf. We handle Apple, Google Play, Meta, and AWS.

Who It's For

Indie app developers and small software teams (2–50 people) in Africa, LATAM, and Asia; US/EU SMBs who lack in-house legal/compliance teams; solopreneurs earning 50%+ of revenue from a single mobile app.

Key Features (Planned)

  • Root-cause diagnostic audit identifying the exact policy violation
  • Platform-specific appeal templates (Apple, Google Play, Meta, AWS) backed by successful case studies
  • Compliance checklist proving you've fixed the underlying issue
  • Optional managed appeal service with human advocacy and submission
  • Monthly account health monitoring and proactive risk alerts (premium tier)

We're validating this idea before writing a single line of code. If this resonates with you, we'd love your feedback:

If your app was terminated tomorrow and you had zero legal support, what would you pay for a step-by-step playbook + someone to fight the appeal for you?
