What we shipped

Dated, in plain language, and written for the people using this site rather than the people building it. If something on this list does not work the way it reads, tell us.

Content

A content hub: blog, guides, glossary and a directory comparison

Six posts on how this place works, three long guides on launching well, a 31-entry glossary, and an honest comparison of ten other launch directories.

  • Guides on the product launch checklist, the iOS and Android launch checklist, and how to write a listing that ranks and gets cited.
  • A glossary covering the vocabulary directories use without explaining, from dofollow to index gate to micro-SaaS.
  • Where else to launch: cadence, free tier, entry price and link policy for ten directories in one table, including the two with names very close to ours.
  • An RSS feed carrying every post and guide, and a search page that works without JavaScript.
Tools

Three free tools, no signup and no email wall

A launch checklist generator, an OG and meta tag checker, and an app store listing checker. All free, all producing a shareable permalink.

  • The Launch Checklist Generator turns your platforms, category and target date into a dated plan you can download and send to a co-founder.
  • The OG and Meta Tag Checker shows how your page renders when shared on X, LinkedIn, Slack and Discord, and hands back corrected markup.
  • The App Store Listing Checker scores an App Store or Google Play page against category norms and returns a ranked fix list.
  • No account, no email required to see your result, and no rate-limit wall below twenty runs a day.
Listings

The first six listings are live

Focus Friend, Coolify, Lovable, Tiimo, Firecrawl and Dub open the directory. All six are seed listings, unclaimed, and excluded from every ranking.

  • Every claim on these listings carries a primary or major-press source link, and every website was checked on 2026-09-21.
  • Seed listings never enter the leaderboard. A seeded app at the top of a ranking on day one would make the ranking worthless.
  • Each one carries a "claim this listing" option for its maker, who keeps full editing control once claimed.
  • The remaining twenty three verified candidates arrive in batches of four or five a week.
Marketing

Everything we ask of you is now written down

Pricing, submission guidelines with all thirteen rejection reason codes, how it works, and why this directory exists, all published before the first submission.

  • The submission guidelines list every reason we would decline an app, each with a plain-English explanation, so nothing is a surprise.
  • Pricing shows four tiers and a "what paying does not buy" section naming approval, ranking and the link attribute.
  • Rejected paid submissions are refunded in full, automatically, with the refund confirmation in the same email as the reason.
  • How it works covers real queue times: thirty days on the free tier, twenty four hours on Fast Track.
Directory

Browse by category, by platform, or by both at once

Twelve categories and nine platforms as independent axes, so a CLI tool is a CLI tool rather than whichever category fits worst.

  • Platform is its own axis: web, iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux, CLI, browser extension and self-hosted, multi-select per listing.
  • CLI listings render their install command as a copy-button code block with the package registry named.
  • Every outbound link runs through a tracked redirect that appends a referral parameter, so the traffic shows up in your analytics.
  • Hubs stay unpublished until they hold at least five listings, because a nearly empty page helps nobody.
Foundation

The site exists

A working domain with a valid certificate, a design system, and the plumbing that makes listings findable. Not exciting, and everything depends on it.

  • A valid certificate on both the apex domain and www, with one redirecting to the other. The previous occupant of this domain served a 403 and a mismatched certificate.
  • Server-rendered pages throughout, so crawlers and AI answer engines see the same content you do.
  • robots.txt, a sitemap split by collection, and an llms.txt describing what this directory is and how its pages are organized.
  • Privacy-first analytics with no cookie banner, because nobody enjoys those.

What is next

Submissions with magic-link editing, the admin review queue with every reason code wired up, transactional email, and paid tiers with the automatic refund on a rejected paid submission. After that, alternatives pages, best-of roundups and the tag facets.
