dotstore is a web app directory and launchpad that catalogs more than 100,000 web apps, SaaS products, AI agents and Mac/Windows apps, with revenue signals, analytics and community votes attached to each listing.
What is dotstore?
dotstore is a browsable store and launch calendar for software. Visitors search or filter a catalog of over 100,000 apps — web apps, SaaS, AI agents, and Mac and Windows desktop apps — and each entry links out to the maker's own site rather than hosting the software itself. A typical entry shows the maker's name, a one-line tagline, a Free, Freemium or Paid badge, and a vote count; some entries also carry a review score such as fynk's 5.0 from 3 ratings.
What makes dotstore stand out?
- Revenue and analytics tracking — Listings carry MRR and analytics data, and a dedicated Top MRR page ranks products by verified revenue.
- Weekly launch leaderboard — The New This Week section ranks submissions by upvotes, so visitors can vote for favourites and makers compete for placement.
- Category mix at a glance — The homepage shows the catalog split by share: AI 23 percent, Utilities 15 percent, Productivity 14 percent, AI Skills 13 percent and Developer Tools 11 percent.
- Four discovery surfaces — New This Week, Most Opened This Week, Top Charts (filterable by All, AI, Music, AI Skills, Entertainment, Design) and Trending each surface a different slice of the catalog.
- Editor-built Collections — Hand-assembled lists grouped around themes instead of raw category pages.
- Favourites and upvotes in one place — Signed-in browsing keeps saved apps and weekly votes together.
- Search and sort by niche — Find products by category, userbase size or reviews, then jump straight to the maker's site with a Launch button.
- Self-serve listing — A List your app flow lets makers submit new products to the store.

FAQ
Does dotstore host the apps it lists?
No. dotstore is a directory: each entry links out to the maker's own domain through a Visit or Launch button, and the software runs on that site, not inside dotstore.
What does the Top MRR page show?
dotstore describes its Top MRR page as products ranked by verified revenue, sitting alongside Trending, Launches and editor-made Collections as separate ways to browse beyond the plain category directory.
Which app categories does dotstore cover?
The catalog spans AI, AI Skills, Utilities, Productivity, Developer Tools, Design and UI, Music, Entertainment, Open Source and Work and Marketing, with desktop apps for Mac and Windows listed next to web apps and SaaS.
How do apps appear in New This Week?
Makers submit products, and the newest drops are grouped into numbered weekly launch slots that visitors upvote; the order is set by vote counts shown next to each listing.
