45% of my app's first downloads came from ChatGPT, not from my website

I build Teleprompter Offline & Private, an iPhone teleprompter with voice-follow scrolling that works offline, with no account and no tracking. I'm a solo developer and it earns about $100+ a month right now. Not life-changing, but real, and it is growing slowly. What surprised me in App Store Conne

ct: the App Referrer report shows ChatGPT as the source of 45% of the app's first downloads. Not Google. Not my landing page. ChatGPT seems to quote App Store listings, Reddit threads and comparison pages, rather than my own site.

What I changed because of it Rewrote the App Store title, subtitle and description to match how people phrase the question ("offline teleprompter", "teleprompter with voice follow", "no account"). Localized the listing into 12 languages. Listed the app on comparison sites (AlternativeTo, SaaSHub). Published plain comparison pages with the facts from public App Store listings, and made sure AI crawlers can read them: each page has a Markdown version they get by default.

How to check your own app App Store Connect, Analytics, Sources, App Referrer. Look at the share of web referrals that are AI assistants. The numbers are small, so do not over-read them, but the direction was clear for me. What I take from it The listing is the page that gets quoted, so it deserves more work than the landing page.

A question like "which teleprompter works offline without an account" gets answered from whatever text states that plainly. Question for you: where do your first users actually come from? Have you checked the referrer data lately? App: https://apps.apple.com/ua/app/teleprompter-offline-private/id6808964093
