Submit your open source tool to directories: after checkout we prioritize SourceForge plus discovery and launch directories where OSS projects find users, contributors, and cleaner listing profiles.
Filter by category and inspect authority, link type, effort, and intent. Checkout online for Starter (25), Growth (75), or Scale (150) targets.

Operational proof from how we deliver today. Customer quotes will be added only when verified.
Each target is tracked as queued, submitted, live, or needs attention — not marked done in bulk.
The outcome report includes direct links to live listings so you can verify coverage yourself.
When a directory rejects or asks for changes, we note why and whether a revision resubmit is possible.
Related but narrower. Developer-tool campaigns emphasize B2B review sites and general software catalogs. This open-source path centers SourceForge hosting/discovery and alternatives/launch communities where OSS projects are commonly listed.
Yes. Listings work best with a public repository or download page, clear license, short project description, and screenshots or docs. Placeholder waitlists without code usually get rejected.
SourceForge is the core OSS catalog here. AlternativeTo, Product Hunt, Indie Hackers, and SaaSHub add discovery and launch coverage around the project—not substitute SourceForge hosting.
We email an OSS checklist within one business day: repo or project URL, license, short description, logo, and screenshots. You send assets once; we submit and report listing status.
