Launchy is a curated weekly product launch directory where indie makers list new software products and visitors browse, vote on, and rank the submissions from each week's batch.
What is Launchy?
Launchy is a web-based product launch platform that publishes new products in numbered weekly batches — the snapshot captured here is Week 44, 2026, containing 9 products. Each listing carries a product name, a one-line tagline, a small logo, topical tags such as ai, audio or productivity, an optional "Featured" label and a vote counter. Visitors browse the current batch, click through to individual product pages, and the previous week's highest-voted launches are surfaced in a "Last week's top launches" leaderboard ranked #1, #2 and #3.
What makes Launchy stand out?
- Weekly batch structure — products are grouped into numbered weeks (Week 44, 2026 currently holds 9 launches), with earlier weeks kept in a separate All batches archive.
- Live countdown clock — a timer on the homepage (reading 6d 22h 38m 19s at capture) shows how much time is left in the current launch cycle.
- Vote-based ranking — every listing displays a vote count, and last week's winners are ordered #1, #2, #3 by votes received.
- Tagged, scannable listings — each entry shows a tagline, logo and a short set of topical tags (ai, audio, productivity), so a visitor can judge relevance without opening the product page.
- Featured badge — selected products are marked "Featured" to separate them from ordinary entries in the same batch.
- Launchy Template — a template advertised on the site for $29 that promises to let someone ship their own launch directory "in a day".
- Leaderboard block — a dedicated section reproduces last week's top three launches with thumbnail, rank and vote count.
Who should use Launchy?
- Indie makers and solo founders: submit a newly built app or tool to the open weekly batch so it appears alongside the other launches with its tagline, logo and tags.
- Product hunters and early adopters: scan the current week's short batch and the top-launches leaderboard to find new tools without reading full announcements.
- Directory builders: buy the Launchy Template to run a themed launch site of their own rather than building the listing and voting mechanics from scratch.
- Curators and newsletter writers: use the weekly batches and vote rankings as a recurring source of new-product leads.
What can you do with Launchy?
- Launch a side project: publish an entry in the current week's batch with a logo, tagline and tags, then collect votes during the cycle to climb toward the top-launches block.
- Find new tools by topic: browse entries filtered by tags such as ai, audio or productivity instead of trawling general app stores.
- Track what shipped recently: open the All batches archive to review products grouped by the week they launched.
- Start your own directory: purchase the $29 Launchy Template and stand up a niche launch site without writing the listing and voting system.
How does Launchy work?
A maker submits a product to the open weekly batch, and the entry appears on the homepage with its icon, tagline, tags and a vote counter. Visitors open the product page and vote, and once the week closes the highest-voted launches are republished in the top-launches section. The homepage countdown shows the time remaining in the current cycle.
Pricing
Browsing the Launchy directory and its weekly batches is free, with no subscription shown on the page. The site separately sells a Launchy Template for $29 that lets a buyer run their own launch directory.
