LaunchRepoDeveloper tools do not have a category of their own in the catalog; they sit inside the software-tools and AI-tools categories next to marketing and productivity products. This list applies a reviewed filter on top of those two categories: a platform is included when its name or id contains a developer signal such as dev, code, boilerplate, GPT, LLM, agent, stack, API, vibe or indie. The filter is a single regular expression in the repository and is reviewed by hand, so a wrongly named directory can be removed and a new one appears automatically.
The result is 17 platforms today. It is the shortest list on this site and the one most likely to grow, because developer-tool and agent directories are launching faster than general ones.
How to use this list
Read the entries as two groups: general developer-tool directories, where a CLI, a library or a SaaS with an API all fit, and specialist collections — boilerplates, agents, vibe-coding tools — where the fit is narrow and a mismatched submission is rejected. Because this list is short, it is a reasonable first batch for a developer product; pair it with the startup launch platforms for the launch week itself.
What “free route” and “live” mean
Developer directories are more often community-run than commercial, which means the “free route” is more often the only route — and also that moderation is done by a person with a day job. The catalog still records the route as unknown until the form is checked. “Live” means the listing page is public and links to your product; a merged pull request to an awesome-list style directory counts once the rendered page shows it, not when the PR is accepted.
Evidence before you submit
Community-run directories are the ones where indexing is genuinely uncertain: small sites, sometimes on subdomains, sometimes with robots rules nobody revisited. That makes the priority method’s checks — site: search on the day, headers, robots.txt, canonical, then the product anchor — more useful here than anywhere. We publish no results of those checks for the entries below; a missing site: result is unknown, not evidence, and we will not turn it into a badge either way.
