How can I submit a tool to tinytools.directory?

The site provides a direct submission entry: look for the “Submit a tool to the list!” link on the main page. That is the intended path for adding your tool. Before you submit, check that your tool fits the list’s stated scope: it should be a small, free, or experimental tool useful for building a game, website, or interactive project, with a preference for artful tools and toys that are as fun to use as they are functional.

What the list is looking for

tinytools.directory describes itself as a roundup of small, free, or experimental tools that might help you build a game, website, or interactive project. The page says it includes “standards,” but its focus is on artful tools and toys that are as fun to use as they are functional. The stated goal is to enable making entirely outside of closed production ecosystems or walled software gardens.

That gives you a practical filter before submitting:

• Small or tiny: the tool should fit the “tiny tools” framing rather than a large, heavy platform.
• Free or experimental: the list explicitly covers free or experimental tools.
• Useful for digital creation: games, websites, and interactive projects are the named use cases.
• Artful and playful: the list favors tools that are enjoyable to use, not just functional.
• Open or outside walled gardens: the page’s goal is making outside closed production ecosystems, so tools aligned with that spirit fit best.

How to submit

1. Go to tinytools.directory.
2. Find the “Submit a tool to the list!” link on the page.
3. Follow that link to the submission entry.
4. Provide your tool’s details as requested there.

The page evidence confirms the submission link exists, but it does not describe the exact form fields or review process. So the reliable instruction is: use the “Submit a tool to the list!” link and follow the form you land on.

What happens after you submit

The page does not state a review timeline, acceptance criteria beyond the list’s general focus, or whether every submission is published. Treat submission as a proposal, not a guarantee of inclusion.

If you have questions or requests, the page lists a contact email: [email protected].

Quick fit check before submitting

If your tool matches those points, the submission entry is the “Submit a tool to the list!” link on the main page.
