Indie Watch is an exclusive weekly hand-curated newsletter showcasing the best iOS, macOS, watchOS, and tvOS apps from developers worldwide.

Our mission is to highlight the accomplishments and creativity of independent developers by providing a platform for them to share their ideas, their passion projects, and their stories.

Every week, we'll provide you with a sampling of the best new apps, profiles of up-and-coming developers, and the occasional freebie. We will review and test all applications, and everyone is welcome to submit an application for free consideration.

After we've reviewed and tested your application, our moderation team will contact you for more information if we intend to feature your iOS app. Once you've completed this additional questionnaire, we'll contact you to let you know exactly which issue you're going to be featured in 🚀

There is a 90-day waiting period before a previously rejected application is eligible for consideration again. However, you can submit as many different applications as you would like.

Our team will contact you with some additional questions if your application is selected for an upcoming issue. It's at this time that we'll be able to provide you with specifics about which issue you'll be featured in.
