Productivity Apps
Productivity is the most crowded app category anywhere, and the independent projects in it usually win by being opinionated: a planner for one kind of schedule, a tracker for one habit, a notes app that refuses to become a database. Browse by stage to find tools still shaping their feature set, where early feedback changes what gets built. Many of these makers run open pilots, so joining one is the fastest way to get the tool you want rather than the tool that already exists.
