How the directory works

Every tool listed here is one I've used myself or checked out directly, not a paid placement. Right now that's 145 tools across ideation, building, infrastructure, and growth, the tools indie hackers, founders, and startup teams actually reach for at each stage of shipping something.

New tools get added as I find something worth using, or when someone points me to it. There's no submission form and no listing fee, just a person looking at each tool before it goes in.
