A listing is the public page for your app. It takes a few minutes to create, it is free, and there is no approval queue, so it goes live when you publish.
Before you start
Have these ready:
- The name of your app and a one-line pitch.
- A longer description of what it does and who it is for.
- At least one way for people to get it: a public GitHub repository, a ZIP file, or a live demo link.
- A few screenshots (optional but strongly recommended).
Create the listing
- Log in and choose New listing in the dashboard, or start from List your app.
- Enter the name (up to 80 characters) and tagline (up to 120 characters).
- Write the description. It needs at least 40 characters, but a few short paragraphs work much better.
- Choose a category: Productivity, Developer Tools, Design, Marketing, Finance, Education, Entertainment or Other.
- Add up to 4 tags that describe what the app does.
- Choose how people get the app. See list a GitHub repository, share a ZIP package or link a live demo.
- Upload screenshots, then set a price. Free is the default.
- Publish.
After you publish
Your listing is live on the market and has its own shareable address. Open it as a visitor would and check that the screenshots look right and the links work.
You can edit the listing at any time from Listings in your dashboard. Changes show up right away.
Tips for a strong first listing
- Lead the tagline with what the app does, not what it is built with.
- Show the real interface in your first screenshot.
- Pick the category a newcomer would browse, not the one you find most flattering.
