As we're wrapping up 2025, what are the best dev tools launched on Product Hunt this year in your opinion?
Dropping here some of my favorite, most inspiring dev-first product launches, in no particular order:
@v0 by Vercel - Runner-up in 2023, the v0 team launched twice this year, introducing v0 for iOS, ranked #1 Product of the Day.
@Cursor - The 2024 Product of the Year still hits the charts. This year, they launched 5 times, introduced 2.0, ranked #1 Product of the Day and #1 Product of the Week.
@Aikido Security - In the growing context of vibe coding and related security issues, the DevSecOps company is spot on: "Security is an everyone problem." This year, they acquired 2024 Golden Kitty Award nominee @Trag and nailed their first launch: #1 Product of the Day, #1 Developer Tool of the Month. Read on: A look at Aikido's first launch on Product Hunt.
@Lingo.dev - The AI localization engine (YC F24) launched on Product Hunt last February and crushed it: #2 Product of the Day, #1 Developer Tool of the Week, #1 Developer Tool of the Month.
@Appwrite - Launched Sites, the "open-source Vercel alternative," last May, ranked #1 Product of the Day, #1 Developer Tool of the Week, and #1 Developer Tool of the Month. The perfect Product Hunt launch?
@Kilo Code - The open-source AI coding agent founded by GitLab co-founder @sytses blasted it this year: Two launches on Product Hunt, ranked respectfully #5 Product of the Day and #1 Product of the Day, hit 500K+ downloads on VS Code and JetBrains, and recently raised $8M in seed funding.

@Layercode - In the voice AI space, there's @ElevenLabs (2024 Product of the Year in the category, 16 launches in 2025) and new comers. Layercode is one of them. Launched last October, ranked #3 Product of the Day.
@Thesys - Launched three times this year, introduced C1, a GenUI API, and ranked #1 Developer Tool of the Week.
@Dimension - After months in stealth mode, the proactive AI assistant for engineering teams, among the most beautifully crafted products for developers, went GA, ranked #2 Product of the Day and #3 Developer Tool of the Week. Read on: How Dimension launched on Product Hunt.
Create beautiful App Store and Play Store screenshots with templates, real device frames, and powerful editing tools.
You get 3 free downloads every month, and if you need more, there’s a simple credit-based plan starting at just $1.
And unlike those tools that suddenly hit you with a $25/month subscription the moment you’re ready to download… we don’t do that. Pay only when you actually need it.
