AppKade is a curated marketplace of software built by Sri Lankan developers: business, productivity, education and developer tools, and more. It helps people find tools that fit the way they work and live, and talk to the people who make them. Developers can also sell source code, templates or a whole running app business to buyers in Sri Lanka.
Every app is submitted by its developer and reviewed before it is published. We check that the listing is accurate, that the app is available, and that it links to the developer’s own website. Published apps can be updated with new revisions, which go through the same review. A review is not an endorsement or a security audit: it tells you the listing is genuine and accurate, not that the app is right for you.
Every developer shows how much AppKade has checked: Not verified (the email address only), Contactable (a Sri Lankan mobile number confirmed with a code we texted them; the number stays private) or Verified. A developer can publish under their own name, a brand or nickname, or a company, and says which. The Verified developer badge means AppKade confirmed that the developer controls their website or GitHub account and confirmed their mobile number by SMS code, beyond the checks every listing gets. A developer selling through a company can also show “Registered business”, after we look the company up in the public register. We never ask for ID cards or documents. Verification is never sold, and an unverified developer’s listings are still reviewed.
Apps listed on AppKade are sold and supported by their developers. AppKade does not sell apps or process purchases; follow the link on each listing to the developer’s website to learn more or buy.
AppKade is a marketplace for software made in Sri Lanka. Independent developers list their apps and tools there, and can also sell source code or a whole running app business. Every listing is reviewed by the AppKade team before it is published.
AppKade lists apps and software built by Sri Lankan developers, by category: business, finance, productivity, marketing, education, developer tools and lifestyle. Search for what you need, filter by price and platform, and contact the developer directly. If nothing fits yet, tell AppKade what you’re looking for and get an email when a matching app is listed.
Yes. Every app page links to the developer’s own website, and you can send the developer an enquiry from the listing. AppKade passes your message and contact details to the developer, who replies to you directly.
No. Each app is sold and supported by its own developer, on the developer’s website. For source code and businesses for sale, the buyer and seller agree the price, payment and handover between them, ideally through a licensed escrow service. AppKade does not process payments, hold money, offer escrow or take a share of sales.
A reviewer checks every new listing and every update before it goes live: that the description is accurate, that the app is available and that it links to the developer’s own website. A reviewer doesn’t test how the app works, and a review is not an endorsement or a security audit.
Yes. Each developer can have up to 5 listings free, drafts included, and 2 of them live at once: apps, AI models, datasets and source code or businesses for sale together. If optional paid features are added later, their prices will be published and developers will get at least 30 days’ notice.
Sign in with Google, open the dashboard, add your app’s details, logo and at least one screenshot, and submit it for review. The team aims to review submissions within 2 working days, and will tell you what to change if anything needs fixing.
AppKade’s AI section is for AI models and datasets made in Sri Lanka: Sinhala and Tamil language models, OCR, translation, and datasets about Sri Lanka. Each listing there states its languages, licence and whether commercial use is allowed, and contains no personal data. Datasets can include a sample you can download. Developers can list a model or dataset free, open or paid; it counts towards their 2 free listings.
Yes. The For sale section is where Sri Lankan developers list source code, templates and running app businesses. Buyers ask questions or make offers through the listing, then agree the price, payment and handover directly with the seller; AppKade is not part of the sale.
A seller whose business runs on a domain proves control of it by adding a DNS record AppKade provides. Without a domain, the seller shows reviewers other evidence, such as a company registration or an app store developer account. Checked listings show “Ownership checked by AppKade”.
Only as part of a business sale; a domain cannot be listed on its own. Moving a .lk domain to a new owner needs approval from the LK Domain Registry, which AppKade takes no part in.
Use “Report this listing” on the app or sale listing’s page, or email support@appkade.lk. The team reviews every report and removes listings that break the rules.
