What gets listed
- The developer is based in Brazil, and the app is built by one person (including a sole trader, MEI) or a small team.
- Company products (LTDA and similar) go in the “Brazilian companies” section: the store shows a company with an address in Brazil.
- It is on the App Store or Google Play, or it has a public web version or a public TestFlight link, so anyone can try it now.
- The developer introduced the app in their own public post on Threads or TabNews. The line on each card is quoted word for word from that post in Portuguese, with an English translation below it. Tap the link to read the post.
- Listing is free, and nobody can pay for a better position. Apps are grouped by category, not ranked: the order is shuffled on every visit, and categories with many apps show 3 random apps on this page each time. No star ratings, no ads, and store links are not affiliate links.
How the list is made
An AI agent read public posts on Threads and TabNews, found developers introducing their own apps, and checked each app against the developer details on the App Store and Google Play. Apps whose developer could not be confirmed to be in Brazil are kept on a pending list and are not shown here.
Prices, platforms, icons and screenshots come from the stores. The store page is the final word. Check it for in-app purchases, subscriptions and privacy before you install.
The English descriptions and quote translations were written with AI. The quotes themselves are the developers' own words, in Portuguese.
