How we pick apps
Cool Little App is a small, handpicked collection of apps worth knowing about. Here is what gets an app in.
- 1
Made by independent makers
Solo developers, small studios and passionate teams, not big tech companies.
- 2
Useful, clever or fun
It solves a real problem nicely, does something surprising, or simply brings joy.
- 3
Picked by a person
Every listing is chosen and written by hand. There are no upvotes and no algorithm.
- 4
Honest about price
We say whether it is free, free to start, or paid, so you know before you click.
- 5
However it was built
Hand-coded or made with AI tools, what matters is that it is good.
Submitting an app
Anyone can submit an app, whether you made it or just love it. No account needed. A person looks at every submission, and the ones that fit get written up by hand. Not every app gets in, and listings are always free.
Something wrong?
If a listing is out of date, misleading or an app has changed for the worse, email hello@coollittle.app and we will take a look. Apps that break these rules are removed.
When you click “Get” on an app, we count the click (and nothing about you) so we know which picks people like. Then go find something cool.
