NEW Built for every role in community leadership

The app store for community leaders, connectors, and ecosystem builders.

Whether you run a community, connect people within it, or build the infrastructure others rely on, appcomm is where you find the apps, the deals and the know-how, chosen by others doing the same work, not by advertising.

Free to use, always. Listings are never ranked by who pays.

Why this matters

Community leadership takes many forms, and it's becoming the center of how people belong.

What is a community manager? They decide where a community lives, who gets welcomed, and how the space grows. That is real work.

But as communities scale, the work splinters. You need people who run operations (managers), people who shape strategy and culture (leaders), people who connect members to each other and to opportunities (connectors), and people who build the infrastructure the whole thing runs on (ecosystem builders). Every role is different. Every role needs tools.

appcomm exists so people in any community role can see what others doing the same work actually use and make that choice themselves without advertising or sponsored rankings. If you run, lead, connect, or build in communities, you belong here.

How it works

A directory that gets better with every recommendation

Every app a community manager recommends makes the directory more useful for every CM who comes after them.

01

Developers list their apps

App builders submit their apps. Every listing is reviewed before it goes live. No pay-to-play, no sponsored rankings.

02

Community managers discover and recommend

You find what actually works for your community. Recommend it once and it becomes part of your public profile, visible to every CM in the directory.

03

Your peers make better decisions

Fellow CMs see your picks. The best apps rise to the top. You build your reputation as the go-to voice your peers trust.

Built for every stage
