Independent alternatives. Clear expectations.

A working free version

Core functionality must remain available without an app fee or an expiration date. Trials and affiliate pages are not enough. Explain infrastructure costs and third-party fees.

Independent projects

Submit only projects you built or have the right to share. No cracks, leaked source code, or license bypasses.

Clear details

Describe the license, supported platforms, account requirements, and self-hosting needs honestly. Explain what the project does and where it has limits.

Review before publication

The administrator reviews submissions before they appear. These guidelines explain how the directory is moderated.
