Which were your favourite products launches in 2025 + favourite category?

This year brought an insane number of launches on Product Hunt. Honestly, I’ve never seen this much activity in all my time here.

I’m sure you’ve also found something that caught your eye, actually helped you, or just made you smile while using it.

I definitely fell in love with quite a few, so here’s my personal 2025 selection:

[Ordered ALPHABETICALLY]

There were even more tools I loved, but some domains expired, or the projects quietly disappeared in the meantime. 🤷‍♀️

Overall, the Entertainment/Fun category completely dominated my favourites this year. What about you?

Which 2025 launches blew you away?

Which category did you end up loving the most?

Love this list, thanks for sharing it 🙌

I noticed I gravitated more toward productivity and ops tools. Totally agree on Notion their AI and meeting features actually changed how I capture and organize work, with way less context switching. Figma’s launches were consistently solid too, and on the ops side, tools like AskYura quietly became part of my workflow.

@naomy_tiara09 AskYura is new to me, gonna check it :)

@busmark_w_nika I loved @Dim Notes . Their auto-tagging feature for every thought put down in the app is really great, because it makes me feel like I know which thought goes where.

Nika

@kavyashree_s1 Is it meant for developers?

Kavyashree S

@busmark_w_nika Not really!! @Dim Notes works for everyone. Even if you're using it organize your random, messy thoughts. Once you write something, the app gives it a new tag, or if it's similar to previous thoughts, then tags it under your previous tags.

Nika

@kavyashree_s1 aaa, gotcha, so it is more universal :)

Kavyashree S

@busmark_w_nika Yes, though I use it mostly for work-related thoughts and not really for anything emotionally related like my moods or stuff.

Lovely walk down memory lane! Thanks, Nika!

@felicitemoorman You are welcome :)

For me, @Google Antigravity was the biggest surprise. So cool. I am totally blown away by it. And then of course @Sokosumi plus @Kodosumi, which is an amazing ecosystem for building and deploying AI Agents.

Nika

@nico Do you use them in your work process frequently?

Nico Lumma

@busmark_w_nika yes, totally.

my favourite category is "simple tools that just do one thing" — so much software tries to be a platform now

two that stood out:

entertainment / daily habits: wordplay (wordplay.studio.gold) — daily cryptic crossword, one clue per day. sounds tiny but has become a genuine ritual. the slow onboarding into cryptic clue logic is clever product design, not just a game mechanic

productivity / media consumption: speakeasy (speakeasy.studio.gold) — converts any article url to audio. the whole value prop is zero friction. no apps to install, no rss feed to configure, just paste and listen. been getting through my saved reading list for the first time in years tbh

both are things i'd have paid for immediately if i'd seen them on PH launch day 👏
