Subreddit rules check

Can you promote here?
The rules clearly permit sharing your own product or project. Follow the format norms below, disclose that it is yours, and lead with substance: allowed is not the same as welcomed for low-effort pitches.
Links
The rules clearly allow links. A plain-text mention still often outperforms a URL from a young account.
What this community rewards
Dominant post formats: showcase, discussion, question
Use a short first-person headline ("I built…", "Check out my app", "I made…"). Open with one-paragraph summary, 2–4 short body paragraphs (what it does, platform, key features, privacy/price), include screenshots and store links, and end asking for feedback. Tone: friendly, humble, maker-focused. Posts with clear screenshots, a concise pitch, and a request for feedback get attention; thin one-line ads or no screenshots do poorly.
Arriving in the local format matters: cross-posting the same text everywhere reads as tourist instantly. The wider method is in the Reddit playbook.
Classified mechanically from the community's published rules and recent top posts, last checked October 2026. Rules change and moderators have the final say: verify at r/showmeyourapps's rules page before posting anything that matters.
Thread Otter checks this before every send
These profiles power the product: promo-banned communities never receive a promotional draft, drafts arrive in the local format, and a fact-check gate plus human pacing protect the account doing the talking.
