SwipeToLaunch: Tinder-style launch directory for startups and apps

SwipeToLaunch is a launch directory built around one mechanic: swipe. New startups, SaaS products, dev tools and apps appear one card at a time, and visitors swipe right if they like the idea and left if they don't. Every swipe is a vote, and no account is needed.

The ranking comes from approval, not upvote counts. A product's score is the share of its swipes that said launch, and the board weighs that share against sample size, so 100% from 2 swipes sits below 92% from hundreds. Below 5 swipes a score is labelled Early. Each person gets one vote per product.

For makers, submitting takes one link and no account: the site drafts the listing from your page. A free listing goes live once the SwipeToLaunch badge is on your homepage, with a followed link while the badge is up. Featured costs $29 one-time and goes live right away, first in the deck and on the board for 30 days, with a gold mark. A moderator reviews each new listing within about a day.

Every product gets a public listing page, a place in the swipe deck and a spot on the weekly board, and each past week's top three stay on a permanent page.

For developers and AI agents, launch data is available through a REST API, an MCP endpoint and Markdown pages at https://swipetolaunch.com/developers
