# Web Apps Directory

> The directory of web apps — powerful apps that run in your browser. 253+ apps across 15 categories. No download, no app store needed. Every listing human-reviewed. Free browsing, paid fast-track submission (€49), advertising slots (€199-499/month).

## About
Web Apps Directory curates applications that run in the browser — design tools, dev tools, editors, converters, games, utilities. Every listing is reviewed by a human against four criteria: genuinely works in the browser, genuine value, HTTPS and currently working, honest behaviour (no dark patterns, no cryptominers). Installability (web app manifest) is a bonus signal, not a requirement. Operated by Hugo Berton (micro-entrepreneur, Aix-en-Provence, France).
