We’ve done our best to keep these terms concise and easy to understand, so you can quickly get to what matters most - finding the software you need.

Software Listing Policy

Our goal is to build a comprehensive and reliable database of software that provides real value to users and protects the privacy and safety of the users. We generally follow the below mentioned guidelines to prioritize and evaluate submissions.

1. Functionality and Value

The primary driver for inclusion is utility. We are looking for software that solves a problem or provides entertainment.

• Operational Integrity: The software should function as described. While we appreciate experimental projects, software recommended for the general public should be stable enough for typical use.
• Distinct Purpose: The software should have a clear use case.
• Commercial Transparency: We welcome paid and commercial software. However, the listing should clearly indicate the pricing model (e.g., Free Trial, Freemium, Subscription, or One-time Purchase) so users know what to expect before downloading.

2. Safety and User Trust

We want our users to download with confidence. Submissions should respect the user’s machine and data.
