directree
Software listings you can trust. Every fact labelled.
directree is an honest software directory and launch platform, built to help founders, indie hackers, and buyers find the right software with information they can trust.
Paste a URL, get a real listing
Paste any product URL and directree builds a full, structured listing in about 30 seconds: what the tool does, who it's for, integrations, pricing signals, screenshots, strengths and weaknesses, and competitors.
Honesty on every field
Every displayed field is labelled by how we know it: Verified (a crawled, checkable fact, stated as fact), AI-inferred (a summary or judgment, always clearly labelled and never disguised as fact), or Founder-edited (claimed and corrected by the verified owner). We use honest qualitative signals rather than invented precision scores - a number we can't stand behind helps no one.
Claim + backlink
Founders claim their listing to correct it and earn a do-follow backlink badge. Creating a listing isn't the same as owning it: anyone can submit one, only a domain-verified rep can edit it, and there's a report path for bad data.
Directory + launch platform
An evergreen directory (tool, comparison, and alternative pages) plus New and Top community feeds for launch-day visibility.
Built to be cited by AI
Consistent, structured, honestly-labelled listings are made to be surfaced by AI search like ChatGPT and Perplexity, not just Google.
Free for everyone with an account.

Hey Fazier 👋 Finding software you can trust is harder than it should be. It's often tough to tell a verified fact from marketing copy, ratings can feel more precise than they really are, and newer products struggle to get seen. As a founder trying to get a new product discovered, and as a buyer trying to make a real decision, I wanted something more transparent. So I built directree - the honest software directory. What it does: - Paste any product URL and get a full, structured listing in about 30 seconds. - Every field is labelled by how we know it: Verified (a checkable fact) or AI-inferred (clearly labelled, never disguised as fact). - Honest qualitative signals instead of invented precision scores. - Founders claim their listing to correct it and earn a do-follow backlink. - It's also a launch platform: New and Top feeds for launch-day visibility. Why it's different: Creating a listing isn't the same as owning it - anyone can submit one, only a domain-verified owner can edit it. And because every listing is real and structured, the pages are built to be cited by AI search like ChatGPT, not just ranked on Google. Free for everyone. It's early access, so I'd love your feedback, especially on the honesty model and the paste-a-URL enrichment. - Henrik
