OSSDrop is a curated, community-maintained directory of open-source tools, organized by category. Anyone can discover tools, vote for what they use, discuss, and drop their own.
Sign in with GitHub and use “Drop a tool” — paste a repository link and we auto-fetch the details. You can also open a pull request to the OSSDrop/OSSDrop list on GitHub.
Listing is free. Tools are ranked by real engagement — upvotes and comments from signed-in accounts. Promoted or boosted placements are always clearly labeled and never change the rankings.
Any open-source tool with a public repository and an OSI-approved license — hosted on GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, or Hugging Face. Open-core is fine if the core is genuinely usable.
Trending blends recent upvotes with a tool's stars and decays over time, so fresh, well-liked tools surface without being buried by long-established incumbents.
Yes. The underlying list is public domain (CC0-1.0) and machine-readable. Each linked tool keeps its own license.
