What MajorGeeks does for a launch

Download sites list desktop and mobile apps that people install, with version history, screenshots and reviews. They suit Mac, Windows, Linux and Android apps rather than web products, and most of them are found through search for an app's name.

How to get listed on MajorGeeks

  1. Check that MajorGeeks covers your platform; most download sites focus on one or two.
  2. Look for a developer or publisher section, which is usually separate from the pages visitors see.
  3. Submit your app with its official download link, version, license (free, trial or paid) and system requirements.
  4. Add a short, plain description and real screenshots of the app window.
  5. Submit each new version so the listing doesn't send people to an outdated build.

Tips for MajorGeeks

  • Software is tested before it's listed, so expect a review and keep the installer free of bundled extras.

What to prepare before you submit

You'll paste the same things into every launch platform and directory, so write them once:

  • A tagline under 60 characters that says what it does (see how to write a product tagline).
  • A description under 160 characters, plus a longer one of two or three short paragraphs.
  • A square logo (at least 256×256) and three or four screenshots at the same size.
  • Your pricing in one line, including whether there's a free plan.
  • A spreadsheet of where you submitted, the listing URL and whether the link is followed.

Frequently asked questions

Is submitting to MajorGeeks free?
Most download sites list apps for free and review submissions by hand; some offer paid promotion. MajorGeeks's developer pages have the current details.
Will MajorGeeks host my installer?
Some download sites host a copy of the installer and others link to your own download. Either way, check the listing after it goes live to make sure it points to the right version.
Is a web app a fit for MajorGeeks?
Usually not. Download sites are built around installable software. List a web product on startup directories and launch platforms instead.

IndieLaunch isn't affiliated with MajorGeeks. What's here comes from its own site, checked October 18, 2026; prices and policies change, so check before you submit. Our full list is in the startup directories guide.
