WHAT SHIPFRONT IS

The discovery layer indie software deserves.

Most software directories are just lists. Shipfront is a search engine that understands what you actually need — and matches you with products that genuinely fit your specific request.

Intent-based search

Describe what you need in plain language. Shipfront evaluates every relevant product against your specific request — not a generic popularity ranking.

Verified, not just listed

An AI verification agent inspects each product — checking that it works, does what it claims, and meets basic legitimacy standards. Founder claims are checked, not blindly trusted.

Personalised Match Scores

Every result gets a Match Score for your query — not a permanent product rating. A 92% match means this product fits what you described, not that it's universally better.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. One voyage.

Describe

Tell Shipfront what you need in plain language. Be as specific as you like — platform, price, features, whatever matters to you.

Discover

Shipfront evaluates relevant products against your request and returns a ranked list with personalised Match Scores and transparent explanations.

Set sail

Visit the products that fit. No middleman, no checkout — Shipfront sends you directly to the founder's product so you can try it yourself.

QUESTIONS

Fair questions, straight answers.

Still have questions? We'll answer them honestly — no marketing speak.

Any web app, mobile app, or SaaS built by an independent founder or small team. We verify that the product actually works, meets basic legitimacy standards, has clear pricing, and offers real value.

Discovery is completely free for searchers. Organic ranking can never be bought — paid options will be clearly marked separate from match relevance scores.

We are targeting Q4 2026 for our public release. Waitlist members get early access ahead of the general public.

You'll receive a confirmation email, followed by updates on major launch milestones. We never spam or sell your email address.

Shipfront is intent-driven rather than feed-driven. Instead of scrolling past random launches, you describe what you need and Shipfront evaluates tools against your exact query.

You can submit your URL during our founder early submission period. Our verification agent analyzes your tool, and once approved, it becomes discoverable to relevant searches.
