Submit your tool to Looking For Tools

Looking For Tools is a tools directory and daily launch board on the DirEasy boilerplate, a sister of ShipThing. Products launch at 8:00 UTC and get a permanent page with categories, tech stack, platforms and pricing model.

Go to the submit page Dofollow link Free with a badge, or $9.90 per launch

Is Looking For Tools worth it?

A reasonable free listing if you accept a badge: every listing checked in November 2026 had a dofollow product link. The free queue is shorter than ShipThing (the site says up to 30 days) but only 5 free launches run per day. Premium at $9.90 is an easy add if you want a set date. Do not expect meaningful traffic; the value is the link and a permanent page. After submitting, check the dashboard to confirm the free launch was scheduled and not left waiting for payment.

Who should submit to Looking For Tools?

Good for indie makers and small SaaS or AI products collecting dofollow links on a small budget. Not useful for anyone seeking a large launch audience, and not ideal for teams that do not want a third-party badge on their site. The catalog mixes software with consumer and service sites.
