About Open Source
Open source is where the code sits in plain sight and anyone can read it, run it, fork it and fix it. This page gathers the products and businesses on Launched Here that are built that way, from polished apps to the small libraries that quietly hold bigger projects up. Pull up a chair, poke around, and vote for the ones you would actually install.
Every listing here has one main category, chosen by the founder at submission and included free. Pick a subcategory below, or stay on this page to see everything across all of them, with filters to narrow things down. Newest launches come first, or sort by community votes to see what people rate. Votes can never be bought, so a high spot is earned. Got a project of your own? Head to /submit, paste your website address and let the AI draft the profile, then check every field yourself before it goes live.

Open Source: questions answered
- What belongs in the Open Source category?
- Products and businesses whose code is openly available for others to read and use. That covers finished apps, code libraries, tools you run on your own server and AI models or tooling. If the project is closed, it belongs in a different category.
- How do I choose between the subcategories?
- Ask how people will use it. If they install and click around, pick open source apps. If they import it into their own code, choose developer libraries. If they run it on their own machine, pick self-hosted tools. Models and AI tooling go in open source AI.
- How do I get my open source project listed?
- Go to /submit and paste your website address. An AI drafts the profile from that site, and you check and edit every field before anything goes live. A paid launch costs $5, while a free listing joins a queue of about 6-8 weeks.
- How are projects ordered on this page?
- Newest listings appear first by default. Visitors can switch the sort to community votes instead. Votes can never be bought, so the vote order reflects what people actually liked. You can also use the filters to narrow the list by subcategory.
- What should I look at when comparing open source options?
- Check the licence and whether it suits your use. Look at how clearly the docs explain setup, and whether the project seems actively looked after. For anything you host yourself, think about upgrades and backups. Community votes here are a handy first signal, not the last word.
