About

A directory for the apps that never trend: built by one person, or three, and sold to nobody.

Good indie apps are hard to find. The App Store and Google Play are built to surface what already sells, which means a careful app from a two-person studio competes with a marketing budget it does not have. Get Indie Apps is a small, deliberate counterweight: 15 listings so far, 11 on iOS and 7 on Android, all added by the people who made them.

How a listing works

You paste an App Store or Google Play link. We read the public store metadata — icon, screenshots, description, category, rating — and build a page for it. No account, no review queue, no waiting. The page goes live immediately with its own URL, structured data and OpenGraph image, so it can be shared and indexed on day one.

Listings stay free forever. We do not take a cut of anything you sell, and we do not put ads on your page.

What we charge for

Exactly one thing: the Featured slot on the homepage, at $29 a month. It buys placement and a larger card — nothing else. It does not change search results, category ordering or how any page is ranked, and featured listings are marked as such. Cancel from your private manage link at any time.

What we will not do

  • Sell your email address, or anyone else's.
  • Run display ads or affiliate-swap your store links.
  • Charge developers to correct or remove their own listing.
  • Load third-party tracking scripts to follow readers around the web.

Editing or removing a listing

Every submission gets a private manage link. Keep it — it is how you edit the tagline, add the other platform, or hide the listing. Lost it, or want a listing taken down entirely? Ask, and we will remove it; we do not need a reason and we do not argue about it.

Not affiliated

Get Indie Apps is independent. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Apple or Google. App names, icons and screenshots belong to their developers and are shown here to describe and link to their apps.

Common questions

What is Get Indie Apps?
Get Indie Apps is an independent directory of mobile apps made by solo developers and small teams. It lists iPhone, iPad and Android apps with their icon, screenshots, description, rating, price and links to the App Store and Google Play.
What counts as an indie app?
An app built and published by an individual or a small team rather than a large company. In practice that means the people who made it also answer the support email.
How much does it cost to list an app?
Nothing. Listing is free and permanent. There is no account to create, no review queue and no commission on anything the app earns.
What is the paid Featured placement?
Featured is the only paid product: for $29 a month an app sits above the regular listings on the home page and in its category. It is purely positional. It never changes an app's data, rating or whether it is listed at all, and it is cancellable at any time.
Where does the app data come from?
Directly from the Apple App Store and Google Play. When a developer submits a store link, the icon, screenshots, description, category, price and rating are imported from those public sources rather than written by the site.
How do I submit my app?
Paste your App Store or Google Play URL on the submit page. The listing is generated and published immediately, with its own canonical URL, structured data and social share image.
Are the rankings paid or sponsored?
No. Apart from the clearly labelled Featured slots, ordering comes from recency and rating. There are no display ads, no affiliate links on store buttons and no pay-to-be-listed tier.
