Where to list your PWA

App stores that accept a PWA

The Microsoft Store takes PWAs directly. PWABuilder, an open-source tool from Microsoft, reads your manifest and produces the package; you submit it through a Partner Center developer account. Nothing about the app has to change if the manifest and service worker are already sound.

Google Play takes a PWA wrapped as a Trusted Web Activity. Bubblewrap or PWABuilder generate the Android project, and you prove that you own the site with a Digital Asset Links file. Publishing needs a Play Console account, which has a one-time registration fee.

Apple has no submission path for a PWA. A wrapper that only shows a website risks rejection under App Store guideline 4.2, minimum functionality. On iPhone, the PWA itself is installed from Safari — this page shows the gesture.

Directories that catalogue PWAs

This directory is one of them, so read this section with that in mind. Submission is free through the submit form; each app is opened and reviewed before it goes live, and the listing records whether it installs and works offline.

Which of these directories a crawler or an AI assistant can actually read is a separate question; we measured it in August. pwastore.io presents itself as a store for PWAs and has a public Submit a PWA form. WebCatalog lists web apps that can run as desktop apps and takes suggestions through a submission form. On GitHub, the awesome-pwa list accepts pull requests that add an app to one of its category sections.

Launch platforms and communities

Product Hunt is free and reaches the widest maker audience, but it asks for a personal account and a product is launched once; a second launch is reserved for a major new version. Uneed takes free submissions into a waiting queue, with a paid option to skip it. Peerlist has a Launchpad for builders and needs an account.

Communities have their own rules, and they are enforced. r/PWA is small and specific; read the sidebar before posting. On DEV, a post under #showdev works when it explains how the app was built rather than announcing it. Show HN refuses landing pages and sign-up walls: it wants something readers can try at once, which a PWA that works without an account already is.
