FAQs

We keep things simple here

Why we built this

I like to refresh my PC about every 2 years. Having a list of apps that I use to reinstall helps with this process.

I also found apps that I would probably have never came across if not for the recommendation of others. Therefore, I create this directory of apps, those that I would really use and are really useful. These apps are specially curated based on performance, ideally free, and really practical for most users.

Now people no longer have to read through dozen of reviews to find the best apps for "something". This is probably best apps for the average to discerning user, who doesn't want to waste time sieving through endless options.

What We Do

We curate apps that actually deserve the bits on your machine.

We routinely look out for new apps, find recommendations that fit our list. We don't intend to have more than 100 apps on this site for now. We don't want no information or decision paralysis here. Just filter to the categories you need, launch them and download what you need.

Why You'll Love Us

We've Done the Dirty Work: We test and use everything so you don't have to download disappointment.

No paralysis: We will only put up 1-2 apps of the same functionality. Sometimes, there might some a slight benefit over the other. Therefore, most of the apps are unique and serve its own functions. No duplicates or excesses.

Works for Everyone: Whether you're a tech wizard or still double-clicking everything, we've got your back.

Are There Sponsored Apps?

Right now, we don't have any sponsored apps. We might include them in the future, because the only thing that matters is the quality of the apps, not whether it is sponsored or not.

If you want to sponsor an app on youmusthave.app, just use the form below. We will put your app through real-world use and testing to make sure it deserves a spot here.

How did you build this?

This is built using Webflow and Finsweet for the CMS Attributes. If you need help with your project, feel free to reach out.
