About Mobile Apps
Every app on a home screen began as someone's stubborn idea. This category gathers the products and businesses that live in your pocket, and the people who built them. Each listing is a portrait as much as a product: who made it, what problem kept them awake, and what they chose to leave out.
Browse by platform or by purpose using the subcategories below, then narrow the list with the filters. Listings appear newest first, so you meet recent launches before older ones, and you can sort by community votes if you want to see what readers rate. Votes can never be bought. Read the founder's account before you download anything; it tells you more about how an app will be looked after than a screenshot does.

Mobile Apps: questions answered
- What belongs in the Mobile Apps category?
- Products and businesses whose main experience is an app on a phone or tablet. That includes apps for a single platform, apps built to run on several, and small utilities. If your product is mainly a website with a companion app, consider whether the app is the heart of it.
- How do I choose the right subcategory for my app?
- Pick the one that describes how people actually get and use your product. A native app for one platform fits that platform's subcategory, a single codebase shipped to several fits cross-platform, and a small single-purpose tool fits utilities. Your main category choice is included free.
- Can my app appear in more than one category?
- Every listing has exactly one main category, chosen when you submit. A paid upgrade adds up to 3 more categories for $5. This suits apps that genuinely sit across platforms or purposes, such as a utility that is also built cross-platform.
- How are apps ordered on this page?
- Newest listings come first by default. Visitors can switch to sorting by community votes instead. Votes can never be bought, so a high position by votes reflects what readers chose, not what a founder paid for.
- How do I get my app listed?
- Go to /submit and paste your website address. An AI drafts the profile from that site, then you check and edit every field before anything goes live. A paid launch costs $5, while a free listing joins a queue of about 6-8 weeks.
