Submitting Your App

What is VibbleLaunch?+
VibbleLaunch is a reviewed launch directory for indie makers and AI-built projects. We help apps publish useful pages, verify ownership, show trust signals, and build a practical launch plan.
Is it free to list my app?+
Yes. Free listings include a reviewed app page, structured metadata, security scanning, basic analytics, and a badge. Outbound links are labelled as user-generated for spam control.View pricing
What kind of apps can I list?+
Any app built by an indie maker, solo founder, or small team. Whether you used AI tools, no-code platforms, or wrote every line by hand, if you shipped something useful, it belongs here.
How long does it take to get listed?+
Submitting takes about three minutes after sign-in. Paste the live URL, check the prefilled fields, and reach the 70-point quality threshold. The listing then remains pending until human moderation approves it.Submit now
Can I edit my listing after submission?+
Yes. If you are signed in with the same account you used to submit, you can edit your app's name, tagline, description, tags, screenshots, founder story, links, and deal details from the app detail page.
Can I nominate someone else's app?+
Absolutely. Use the Nominate page to suggest apps you think deserve visibility. The creator can later claim the listing if they want to manage it.Nominate an app

Security Scanning

How does security scanning work?+
We scan your app's HTTP security headers, including Content-Security-Policy, Strict-Transport-Security, X-Frame-Options, and related protections. We assign a grade from A+ to F based on which headers are present and properly configured.
My app got a low security grade. How do I improve it?+
Use the Security Guides for step-by-step fixes and copy-paste prompts you can use with your coding tool. The most common improvements are deployment header changes that take only a few minutes.Read security guides
Can I rescan my app after making changes?+
Yes. Rescan from your app page or dashboard. Your grade updates based on the latest headers we detect.
What's the Security Leaderboard?+
It ranks apps by their security grade and implementation. Apps with strong grades are showcased prominently, which gives builders another trust signal beyond votes and clicks.View Security Leaderboard

Account & Features

Do I need an account to browse?+
No. Browsing, searching, and viewing app details is open. You need an account to submit apps, manage listings, upvote, comment, create collections, and access your dashboard.
What sign-in methods do you support?+
We support email magic links, so there is no password to manage. Sign in once to submit apps, manage listings, view analytics, and start app-specific upgrades.
What are Collections?+
Collections are curated lists of apps, such as best AI writing tools or weekend project ideas. Anyone with an account can create and share collections.Browse collections
What's the Dashboard for?+
Your dashboard shows analytics for submitted apps: moderation status, views, clicks, click-through rates, upvotes, launch readiness, and security status. It is also where you can verify or refresh the right listing.
What are upvotes and how do they work?+
Upvotes are a way for the community to signal that an app is useful or well-made. Each account can upvote an app once. Apps with more upvotes rank higher in listings and on the Leaderboard.
