Mobile apps launched on Sunday, Sep 6, 2026
Products whose own page shows a mobile app. Every number below was measured inside that day's window.
Sunday in numbers
Sunday, Sep 6, 2026- 104 products appeared across 5 public launch boards. We have read 104 of them end to end (100.0% of the day).
- Attention did not spread out: the busiest 11 products took 51.2% of the 244 votes the boards handed out, and the median product finished the day on 1.
- 2 of the 102 products on a board that publishes votes (2.0%) had not received a single one when we counted.
- 34.6% of the day put AI at the core of the product, while 19.2% never mention it at all.
- More of the day was aimed at consumers: 80 products said they sell to consumers and 10 said they sell to businesses, out of 100 that named a buyer at all.
- 19 launch pages (18.3%) called the product the best, the first or the only one of its kind.
Every sentence above is assembled from a measurement made when this page was built. No number on this page is typed by hand, and no product is named: the report is counts only.
Was this a normal day?
Each measure against the 5 days before it: the bar is the range those days covered, the notch is their middle, the dot is this day.Where it was published
App stores, extension stores and package registries named on the page.
- Play Store52.9%55
- App Store49.0%51
- Chrome Web Store1.9%2
83 products named a store or registry. The rest ship from their own site.
Who it sells to
One hundred squares are the whole day. The grey squares are products that said nothing about a buyer, and the palest are the ones we have not finished reading.
- consumers76.9%80
- businesses9.6%10
- businesses and consumers7.7%8
- developers1.9%2
- Read, said nothing3.8%4
Where it runs
Cloud, on the user's own machine, or self-hosted on the buyer's server.
- on the device, offline48.1%50
- cloud / hosted41.3%43
- self-hosted1.9%2
What the day leaned on
Products and platforms named on the launch page. Each one is also a dependency: if that API changes, this many pages have to change with it.

97 products named at least one other product or platform.
How the day's attention was shared out
244 votes across 102 products that appeared on a board which publishes votes.
The dashed line is what an even day would look like. The gap between the two is the day's inequality.
- top 10%51.2%125
- 10–20%9.8%24
- 20–30%8.2%20
- 30–40%7.0%17
- 40–50%4.1%10
- 50–60%4.1%10
- 60–70%4.1%10
- 70–80%4.1%10
- 80–90%4.1%10
- 90–100%3.3%8
Votes keep arriving after a product appears, so a fresh day is still filling up and an older one is closer to final. The measure is the sum of a product's votes across every vote-publishing board it was on that day, which is why the deciles add up to the day's total exactly.
What kind of thing it is
A product can be more than one of these — a web app with a mobile client counts in both — so the shares add up past 100%.
- mobile100.0%104
- web14.4%15
- desktop9.6%10
- extension1.9%2
- api1.0%1
- bot1.0%1
Read from each product's own pages, not from the board's category.
What AI does in it
Whether AI is the product, a feature beside it, unmentioned, or explicitly ruled out.
- core to the product34.6%36
- not mentioned19.2%20
- a side feature10.6%11
- Read, said nothing35.6%37
"Never mentions it" is an absence of a claim, not a claim of absence. The two are counted separately here because conflating them once produced a headline that was wrong by two orders of magnitude.
What size of company
Who the page says it is sized for. A page can name more than one.
- small businesses6.7%7
- solo / indie4.8%5
- teams4.8%5
- enterprise1.0%1
What the day charged
9 products printed at least one price. Bands hold the lower bound and exclude the upper: $10–29 means $10 up to but not including $30.
Not printed: we had a reading for 104 of the day's 104 products (100.0%), and a share drawn from less than 70% of a cohort says more about our reading queue than about the day.
Prices in a currency other than the dollar are not converted; they are counted as unparsed and shown below. Making up an exchange rate on a page whose whole claim is measurement would be the most expensive kind of mistake here.
What the free tier is
Free forever, free up to a limit, or free for a while.
- free forever49.0%51
- free up to a limit9.6%10
- free for a trial8.7%9
- Read, said nothing32.7%34
What the trial asks for
What stands between a visitor and the product on the first click.
- nothing45.2%47
- an email address1.9%2
- a card1.0%1
- no trial1.0%1
Whether the page says we or I
Whether the launch page speaks as a company or as one person.
- “we”61.5%64
- “I”9.6%10
This is what the page calls itself, not what we know about the team: a one-person company can still write "we". It is a floor on how many are solo, never a count of them.
What founders called their own product
The short phrase each page uses for itself. Plurals and capitalisation are folded together; nothing else is. This is the closest thing we have to a search term, and it arrives earlier than one: a founder starts building when they see the need, a search happens once the product exists.
- 1app3.8%+2.0 pts
- 1app3.8%+2.0 pts
92 products named what they are. 1 phrases were used by more than one of them, after folding plurals and capitalisation; everything else in the day was said once and is not listed.
Movement is measured as a share of each day's own cohort against the 5 days before, never as a raw count: as the corpus grows, every raw count rises and the page would read as if everything were trending. "New" means the term was below the threshold in those days, which is a warning and not a finding.
What the launch pages claimed
Three buckets, never two: says yes, says no, says nothing. Silence is not a no.
- Has a free plan64.4%
- Puts a number on the page29.8%
- Calls itself the best / the first18.3%
- Has documentation11.5%
- Asks you to contact sales10.6%
- Is open source4.8%
- Says it is hiring2.9%
- Shows a case study1.9%
- Shows customer logos0.0%
Every yes here is backed by a quote from the product's own page; a claim without one is not counted.
Who they said it was for
The audience named on the page, in the page's own words.
- 1parents2.9%+2.1 pts · ▲5
24 products named what they are. 1 phrases were used by more than one of them, after folding plurals and capitalisation; everything else in the day was said once and is not listed.
Movement is measured as a share of each day's own cohort against the 5 days before, never as a raw count: as the corpus grows, every raw count rises and the page would read as if everything were trending. "New" means the term was below the threshold in those days, which is a warning and not a finding.
What the day was built with
Read from the live sites themselves, not from a survey: the analytics tag, the host's fingerprint, the payment script.
- WordPress100.0%3
- Netlify66.7%2
7 sites showed one
- Google Analytics100.0%19
20 sites showed one
- PayPal100.0%2
2 sites showed one
Only what a page reveals about itself can be seen here, so this is a floor and not a census. A site behind a proxy or with no tag shows nothing and is not counted as "none".
Where the day was launched from
The place printed on the page — a company address, a legal footer, a founder's line.
- India100.0%5
5 of the 22 pages that printed a place named somewhere we could resolve to a country. The rest named a city we do not map, a region ("EU"), or nothing that resolves; they are excluded rather than guessed at.
Which boards the day came from
A product can appear on more than one board, so the column adds up past the day's total. Vote counts are read now, not at launch time.
| Board | Products | Share of day | Votes | Per product | Median |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Product Hunt | 87 | 83.7% | 127 | 1.5 | 1 |
| PeerPush | 9 | 8.7% | 22 | 2.4 | 1 |
| Uneed | 4 | 3.8% | 39 | 9.8 | 8 |
| BetaList | 2 | 1.9% | — | — | — |
| Fazier | 2 | 1.9% | 56 | 28.0 | 28 |
Some boards publish a rank but no votes; those rows show a dash. An absent vote count is not a zero.
What it is about
The subject axis, assigned by a separate reading pass.

- Tools for parents and kids7.7%8
- Tools for food and nutrition5.8%6

- Calculators for everyday math2.9%3
This axis is filled by its own pass, not by the main reading queue, so its coverage moves on its own schedule.
How many are still answering
5 days after the day closed, we asked every one of them again.
The denominator leaves out the ones we could not reach: a product behind a bot wall is not a dead product. Calling it dead would be the cheapest way to make this number look decisive and the fastest way to make it wrong.
How this issue was made
- The window
- One UTC day: Sunday, Sep 6, 2026. A product belongs to the day its board says it launched, not the day our collector reached it — otherwise the report would print our own crawl speed as market news.
- The publishing gate
- A day is published only once the collector has run the morning after it, which is when that day's boards are read. Days without that run are not published and not quietly padded. 104 products cleared the minimum of 40.
- Where the answers come from
- Each product's own pages are read and answered question by question, with a quote required for every yes. 104 of 104 products were read all the way through before this issue was built.
- What is not here
- No product names, no rankings, no scores. A block whose cohort was read less than 70% of the way through is not printed at all, and says so where it would have been.
