How Check'd works.

Everything you need to know to get your product listed — and what the AI is actually looking for.

01 —
Submit your product

Fill out the submission form. It takes about 2 minutes. You'll need a name, a one-line tagline, a short description, and a live URL. That's it.

A screenshot is optional but strongly recommended — products with screenshots get significantly more clicks.

📝
Name + Tagline
Keep the tagline under 100 characters. Make it say what the product does, not what it is. "Slide between critic and audience scores to find what's worth watching" beats "A streaming content discovery tool."
🔗
Live URL required
The URL must go to a working product. We ping it before validation. If it's down or returning errors, that counts against your submission.
📸
Screenshot (optional but recommended)
PNG, JPG, GIF, or WebP. Max 5MB. Shows on your banner card. Products without screenshots show a letter icon instead.

AI validates it

Every submission goes through AI validation before it's listed. This is what makes Check'd different from every other directory — nothing gets in just because someone submitted it.

The AI checks whether your product is real, working, and genuinely useful. It's not looking to reject you. It's looking for a reason to approve you.

Real working software — tool, app, API, bot, or service that does something
Clear use case — a real person could explain why they'd use it
Live and accessible — the URL works and the product functions
Vaporware — "coming soon" pages, waitlists with no product behind them
Empty clones — exact copies of famous products with no differentiation
Filler — AI-generated descriptions that say nothing specific
Spam, adult content, or anything illegal
// pro tip

If your product gets rejected, the AI tells you exactly why. Fix that specific thing and resubmit as a new URL (or substantially update the product first). Resubmitting the exact same thing to the same URL won't pass.

It goes live instantly

Approved products appear on the products page immediately — no waiting, no moderation queue, no human review delay. The AI is the gatekeeper.

Your listing shows your name, tagline, description, screenshot, and two metrics: views (how many people saw it) and uses (how many clicked Use It). No upvotes. No ranking games. Just real usage.

The rules

Check'd is designed to be fair to real builders and hostile to everyone else.

One listing per product — you can submit as many different products as you want, but each URL gets one shot
Free forever — there is no paid placement, no fast track, no featured spots for sale
No voting — discovery is by views and uses only, not popularity contests
No spam — rate limits are in place per IP and per email
No fake products — the AI checks the live URL before every submission
