# About — Neeed Directory

Canonical page: https://neeed.directory/about

Neeed Directory is a curated directory of 1,600+ tools for developers, designers and makers, built and run by Supacat, an independent product studio. Visitors browse by category, tag and label; makers list their software or digital product so it can be found on Google and in AI answers.

## Who runs it

Neeed Directory is built and operated by Supacat, an independent product studio. The directory is funded by one-time Premium listings and two 30-day ad placements sold directly; there is no ad network on the site.

## The numbers

1,600+ live listings and 2,400+ members. The public stats page charts visitors and pageviews over the last 30 days; the API page counts the calls the API and the MCP server answered.

## How listings are reviewed

Every submission passes an automatic check against the listing guidelines the moment it is sent. A listing the check accepts is live right away, whichever plan was picked. Anything the check cannot vouch for waits for a person, who publishes it, asks for changes or declines it with a reason the maker reads on their dashboard. Free listings are rechecked for their badge; a badge that stays gone hides the listing until it is back.

- Listed: Software: web and mobile apps, SaaS, developer tools, extensions, APIs
- Listed: Digital products: templates, design assets, courses, ebooks, kits
- Refused: Adult content
- Refused: Local service businesses: trades, salons, clinics, agencies serving one area
