pwastore.io is a free, open directory for discovering and sharing installable web app, aka Progressive Web App(PWA). Anyone can submit a PWA - No logins, no fees, no gatekeeping. Just a growing collection of useful, installable PWAs from all around the world
👋 Hey Product Hunt! I’m Zainul, and I’ve finally built something I’ve been thinking about since 2018.
It’s called pwastore.io - a simple, open directory for installable web apps (think: apps you can open right from your browser and add to your home screen like native ones).
Back then, I didn’t build it because the tech wasn’t ready - especially on iPhones. But over the past few months, I couldn’t shake the idea anymore. So last week, I decided to stop waiting and just build it.
What makes it different?
🌍 Open directory – anyone can submit an app with just a link
🔓 No authentication – no sign-ups or logins needed
💸 Completely free – funded from my own pocket
🚫 No restrictions – apps won’t be removed unless truly necessary
You can browse apps, open them instantly, and install them - all without app stores or downloads.
I’ve always believed useful tools should stay open and accessible.
A few of my previous free projects:
plsgrade.me - a GPA calculator for Singapore students (~12k monthly users)
sheetsdb.io - use Google Sheets as a lightweight database
classifai-me.vercel.app - a DISC-based personality test (in development)
Would love your feedback:
What kind of apps would you like to see featured?
Any ideas for how to make discovery easier or more fun?

Thanks for the support - and here’s to making the open web more discoverable 🚀
