What exactly happens when Actuant “launches” my app?

An agent works through the launch checklist you'd otherwise do by hand: it writes your llms.txt, robots.txt and sitemap as a GitHub pull request, submits your app to 20 curated launch directories — filling each form live in a browser you can watch, and leaving the submit button to you. Anything that touches your code arrives as a pull request; nothing merges without your approval. Launch-copy drafting, analytics installed for you, and Stripe payments set up inside your app are on the roadmap, not shipped.

Does it work with my builder?

Yes. Actuant doesn't integrate with builders — it works on the app itself: the live URL, the GitHub repo, and your domain. If your app has a URL, Actuant can audit it; if it has a repo, Actuant can fix it. Lovable, Bolt, v0, Replit, Base44, Cursor, Claude Code, or hand-written all work the same way.

I've shipped five apps. Do I need five subscriptions?

No. One account covers your whole portfolio: the free plan covers 1 app, Launch covers 3, Portfolio is unlimited. Re-auditing an app you've already added is unlimited on every plan. The Signal dashboard that compares those apps side by side is still being built — today you get each app's audits, fixes and launch work in one place.

Will you spam directories with my half-finished app?

No. The audit runs first, and the agent only submits when your app clears the quality bar — that protects your launch and everyone else's. We maintain a curated list of directories that send real traffic, not a firehose of 400 link farms, and the agent never presses submit for you: it fills the form and hands the browser back.

What does the free plan actually include?

One app, unlimited re-audits of it, the full launch-readiness score and report with per-check fix guidance, and access to the MCP server for your coding agent. Agent runs are metered, and the free plan's usage is a one-time $5 of credit — roughly 16 deep audits — not a monthly allowance. Paid plans add a weekly usage allowance, monthly credit, and the agent doing the fixing and launching rather than just the diagnosing.

Can I share a report with someone else?

Not yet. Reports live in your dashboard behind your login today; public, shareable report links are on the roadmap. Anything on this site marked “coming soon” isn't built — we'd rather you buy the plan for what it does now.

The launch-readiness audit

Social presence: proof your app is real and alive

Visitors look for a social link to judge if you're real; no profiles linked reads as abandoned. Learn which networks Actuant detects and why linking two beats linking one.

Last updated 2026-07-19

This weight-4 check scans your page for links to live social profiles — the signal a visitor uses to decide whether you're a real, active project or an abandoned demo.

What Actuant checks

Links to X/Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok, YouTube, Discord, or GitHub.

Two or more networks linked → pass.
Exactly one → partial ("one channel is a single point of failure").
None → fail ("visitors can't follow or vouch for you").

It sits in the trust category alongside Privacy policy (weight 3), Terms (weight 2), Company identity (weight 2), and Contact method (weight 3) — together they're what a stranger uses to decide you're real.

Why it matters

Before anyone trusts a new app, they look for signs of life — a founder posting, a community, a repo. Two linked channels signal you're reachable and building in public; zero reads as a graveyard.

How to fix it

1
Link at least two profiles
For dev tools, X and GitHub work best. Put them in the footer.
2
Actually post
Share the build journey where you already show up — launch traffic compounds there.

Social preview

When someone shares your link, the Open Graph card is the first impression. A bare URL gets scrolled past. Learn which og: tags Actuant checks and how to add a share card.

Directory submissions

Directory submissions are a reliable early-traffic channel for new apps. Learn which launch directories matter, how to prepare a submission, and how Actuant automates it.
