Posting your startup in r/ProductivityApps
Yes. r/ProductivityApps is one of the subreddits that lets founders share their own product, as long as you follow its self-promotion rules and give the community more than you take. The rules and the post formats that get approved are below.
Posts that lead with a personal problem or 'aha moment' (often ADHD-related or workflow friction), then naturally mention the app as a solution. The top posts are stories about why existing tools failed them, not pitches. Genuine curiosity posts and visual/novel approaches also perform well.
Self-promotion rules
Self-promotion is allowed once per month, but you must have at least 10 community karma earned within r/ProductivityApps first. Avoid Vibe Coded apps, don't ask for beta testers here (use r/betatesters instead), use the correct flair, and never post survey forms. Low-quality 'Feedback Wanted' posts will be removed.

i got tired of switching between apps for my calendar and notes, so i built something that actually works on mobile
I was losing track of things because my task app and calendar weren't talking to each other. After months of frustration, I decided to solve it myself, and honestly it's changed how I stay organized.
