Indie developer distribution

Launch everywhere. You only pay a share on installs we actually drive.

Applauncher automates directory submissions, social content, and influencer outreach. We earn on results. If we drive zero installs, you pay zero share.

How it works

Three steps from signup to everywhere.

01

Connect your app

Paste your app URL. We read metadata, screenshots, and description automatically. Takes 2 minutes.

02

Review and approve

We generate directory submissions, social posts, and outreach messages. You review in under 10 minutes, then hit launch.

03

We distribute

Submissions go out, social posts publish, influencers get personalized pitches. All in 72 hours. You get a weekly report.

What we automate

Three distribution channels. One dashboard.

Directory Distribution

Submit to 40+ directories on launch day. Product Hunt, AlternativeTo, AppSumo, Capterra, and dozens more. Formatted for each platform's requirements.

Social Content

Platform-native posts for X, LinkedIn, and Reddit. Generated from your app's real features. Ready to review, scheduled to publish.

Influencer Outreach

Personalized pitches to niche creators and communities. We find who covers apps in your category and reach out with context, not templates.

Social proof

Developers who shipped with us.

Submitted to 40+ directories in the first week without touching a form myself. My app went from 0 to 200 downloads in 10 days. This is the missing piece for solo devs.

ATAlex T.

I spent a weekend trying to post in communities and got nowhere. Applauncher handled it in hours. My Product Hunt rank went up just from the directory traffic alone.

PMPriya M.

The revenue share model is what sold me. They're incentivized to actually drive installs, not just check boxes. First month covered the subscription cost 3x over.

SKSam K.

Solid for the price. The directory automation alone saves me 4-5 hours per app launch. Social content is decent — I tweak maybe 20% of it before posting.

JRJordan R.

I build client apps and this changed how I deliver launches. Clients see real traction from day one. Added it to every engagement as a line item.

FAQ

Common questions.

Still have questions? Talk to us.

Is there really a free plan?
Yes. Starter is free forever: 10 directory submissions per month, basic social post generation, no credit card required. We make money when you upgrade or when we drive installs on a paid plan.
What does revenue share mean?
On Pro, we take a small percentage of revenue from installs we directly drove. If we drive zero installs, you pay zero revenue share. The subscription fee applies regardless — that's how we keep the lights on.
Will my app get spammed across directories?
No. We format submissions for each directory's specific requirements. Low-quality spam submissions get rejected anyway. We optimize for acceptance rate, not submission count.
What kinds of apps work best?
Any SaaS app, mobile app, or developer tool. We cover web apps, iOS, Android, Chrome extensions, and VS Code extensions. If it has a URL or a store listing, we can distribute it.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, month-to-month on all plans. No lock-in, no cancellation fee. If you cancel, you keep access until the end of the billing period.
How long until I see results?
Directory submissions go out within 72 hours of approval. Traffic from accepted listings typically shows up within 1-2 weeks as directories index and publish your listing.

Your next launch is 72 hours away.

Start free. No credit card. Directory submissions go out the same day you approve.

Upgrade anytime. Cancel anytime.
