What is VibbleLaunch?+
VibbleLaunch is an app directory and authority builder for indie makers and AI-built projects. We help apps publish indexed proof pages, add trust signals, install listing badges, and build a practical distribution plan.
Is it free to list my app?+
Yes. Free listings include an indexed app page, structured metadata, security scanning, basic analytics, and a badge. Free outbound links use nofollow for spam control; paid Launch and Push tiers unlock the dofollow link policy when your listing is ready.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 60 seconds after sign-in. Paste your URL, let us auto-fill the basics, then finish the proof page. Listings are created immediately for your account unless content validation blocks the submission.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?+

What's the Dashboard for?+
Your dashboard shows analytics for all your submitted apps: views, clicks, click-through rates, upvotes, launch readiness, authority score, and security status. It is also the fastest place to upgrade or boost the right app.
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.
