// for developers who ship
List your app where developers actually look.
Dev App Deals is a directory for developer tools — free to list, and built to be found year-round, not just for one launch day. Post once, get discovered for months.
Free forever. No credit card. Takes about two minutes.
Found year-round
Launch platforms give you one noisy day, then you vanish. Your listing here keeps working — through search, categories, and our newsletter — long after launch week.
A developer audience
No general-consumer noise. The people browsing are looking for exactly what you built: libraries, CLIs, SaaS, templates, and tools.
Real SEO
Every app gets its own server-rendered page with proper metadata, built to rank for the long-tail searches your future users actually type.
Curated, not spammed
Every listing is reviewed and needs real screenshots. That keeps the directory worth browsing — and keeps your app in good company.
How it works
-
1
Create your listing
Add your app's name, description, links, category, and at least two real screenshots. Offering a deal? Add it — deals get highlighted.
-
2
We review it
A quick human check that it's a real tool with genuine screenshots and working links. No spam, no mockups — that's what keeps the directory good.
-
3
You go live & get found
Your app appears in the directory, its category, and search — with its own shareable page and click analytics in your dashboard.

Get in early.
We're just getting started, which means less noise and more attention on the apps listed now. The earliest tools get a permanent Founding member badge — a small mark that says you were here first, shown across the directory.
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes — listing your app is free, permanently. Later we'll offer optional paid boosts like featured placement, but a great base listing never costs anything.
How is this different from Product Hunt?
Launch platforms are a one-day sprint. This is a permanent, searchable home for your tool. Different job: they're for launch day, we're for every day after.
Do I really need screenshots?
Two real ones, minimum. It's not busywork — it's the single biggest signal that your listing is legit, and it's why people trust the directory enough to browse it.
How long does review take?
We aim to review new listings within a day or two. You'll see the status in your dashboard, and if something needs fixing, we'll tell you exactly what.
Can I list an open-source project?
Absolutely. Free tools, open-source projects, paid SaaS, templates, APIs — if a developer would find it useful, it belongs here.
Can I offer a deal?
Optional, and encouraged. Add a discount, lifetime deal, or early-bird price and it gets a highlighted badge across the directory.
