App Discovery
App Discovery gives users multiple ways to find and install your app across Discord.
App Directory
Section titled “App Directory”The App Directory is a searchable hub where users can browse apps by name, category, or collection, and view a full product page with descriptions, screenshots, and links.
To appear here, your app needs to be verified and opted into discovery. See Enabling Discovery for the step-by-step setup.
App Launcher
Section titled “App Launcher”The App Launcher is accessible from the app shapes icon throughout Discord and surfaces recently used apps and apps curated by collection.
Organic Discovery & Sharing
Section titled “Organic Discovery & Sharing”Once your app is discoverable, social interactions within Discord become a natural acquisition channel. When users interact with your app in a server, others in that server can see it and visit your app's profile to install it themselves.
Each Discord app also has sharable links that take users to your app's profile or store page, shareable anywhere from Discord messages to external websites.
