Why list here

Reach the right people: Organized by category and genus, so it surfaces for people searching for exactly what your tool does.
A permanent listing: A citable page with your logo, description, screenshots, and links.
Alternatives & tasks: Get linked as an alternative to tools people already know, and included in relevant task guides.
Leaderboard & featured spots: Popular and paid listings can climb the live leaderboard or land a featured homepage spot.
A curated list, not a dump: Every submission is reviewed by a human. We only add great products — the goal is the best tool in each category, not every tool that exists.
