Productivity Directory
Free route directory
Researched from public pages — no submission was run · sources read 2026-09-25. Rules change — recheck the platform's own pages before submitting.
Requirements
- Product should fit the productivity taxonomy (to-do, time tracking, notes, calendar, automation, password managers, AI tools, etc.)
- Google sign-in required to submit — 'To prevent spam, some actions require being signed in. It's free and only takes a few seconds.'
Prepare before opening the form
- Google account
- Tool name, URL, description, logo, and best-fit category from their ~50-category taxonomy
Workflow
- Open https://productivity.directory/s/submit
- Continue with Google (return_to=/s/submit)
- Complete the listing form shown after sign-in
- Submit and await listing; manage it later from the user dashboard (/user/dash)
Watch for
- The submit URL renders only the sign-in wall to anonymous visitors — no public form fields are visible
- An Advertise page exists separately; organic listing is positioned as free
- No evidence of a paid listing tier, but none is explicitly ruled out either
What counts as live
Tool page exists on productivity.directory under its category (e.g. /category/note-taking-apps) and is publicly reachable
Not verified
- Post-login form fields and whether any payment step follows
- Review process and turnaround
- Dofollow vs nofollow on outbound links
