Product Hunt for indie iOS apps — focused on downloads, not noise.
Vs. App Store
Stop fighting algorithms. Get direct access to a community of early adopters who actually install your build.
The IndieCircle Loop
Real installs, missions-based feedback, and credits that fund your own growth. Sustainable indie growth.
Vs. Social Media
Move past "nice launch" comments. Turn impressions into active TestFlight sessions and App Store reviews.
Shipping better, together.
Weekly iOS launches
Submit your app, users try it, upvote, and climb the board. Every week is a new chance to reach the top spot.
Try apps → earn visibility
Download, run missions, leave feedback, and earn the credits you need to launch your own app.
TestFlight & betas
Browse exclusive betas and join TestFlight groups to ship more polished builds before public release.
Growth leaderboards
We surface the fast-growing indie apps and the most-loved tools of the week based on actual retention data.
Launch your iOS app. Get your first users. Three steps.
List your App Store app & missions
Connect your app link and define missions for users—like "reaching level 5" or "creating a profile"—to earn credit rewards.
Indie users download, run missions, send feedback
A community of builders will find your app, install it, complete your missions, and provide actionable feedback.
Approve, climb the board, reinvest credits
Once missions are approved, credits settle. Use them to fund your own launch and climb the global leaderboards.
Installs, not impressions
We prioritize putting your binary on phones. A real install is worth 1,000 "likes".
Feedback you can ship
No generic fluff. Get high-quality bug reports and UX friction points from fellow iOS artisans.
Built for repeat launches
Our credit system ensures that if you help others, others will help you. It is a self-sustaining growth machine.
