How it works

  1. 01

    Submit your link

    Paste your app’s link and say a sentence about it. No account, no fee, no launch date to plan around.

  2. 02

    Write it, or leave it to us

    Draft your tagline and description if you like, or skip it. Every listing gets a quick review so they all read plainly, and “why it’s cool” is always ours.

  3. 03

    People find it

    Visitors browse by mood and need (“Get stuff done”, “Just for fun”), filter by price and device, or hit Surprise me.

Not every app gets in. Here’s what we look for. Any kind of app is welcome (web, mobile, desktop, browser extension), however it was built.

Free, and it stays free

Listings cost nothing and don’t expire. A good app found in month six is as welcome as one found on day one.

Fair to everyone

There’s no paid ranking. If sponsored spots ever exist, they’ll be clearly labeled and won’t change where free listings appear.

Honest about what it is

Links to apps are nofollow, so a listing won’t boost your search ranking. It’s here to put your app in front of people.

Already listed?

Search for your app on the browse page. If something’s out of date or you’d like it changed or removed, email hello@conatusllc.com. Free maker accounts are coming soon, so you can edit your listing yourself and see how many people open your app from here.

Made something cool?

It takes a minute, it’s free, and real people will find it.
