Best Subreddits to Promote a Productivity App

Yes, but only within clear limits. Rule 2, "Spam / Self-Promotion / Affiliate Links," says, "Do not spam or promote your own projects too much," requires following Reddit's self-promotion guideline, and adds that promoted apps "must be production ready and have docs." There are also narrower exceptions, such as Rule 6 allowing very new projects only in the current "New Project Megathread," and Rule 4 requiring explanation for blog link posts.

Yes, you can promote your project in r/SideProject, because the community description and sidebar explicitly say it is for sharing side projects and receiving constructive feedback. The stated requirement is the submission format: "When submitting a link to a project or startup, please use this format: [Project name] - [Short description]."

Yes, but only under specific conditions. Rule 3, "Limited Self-Promotion," says self-promotion is allowed only infrequently, "not permitted more than once per developer in 30 days," and Rule 8, "Promote in Megathread," says anyone who does not qualify for main feed promotion must use the monthly Megathread. Rule 1 also says app devs have "No main feed promotion unless you qualify" and must use the PCP Post template.

Yes, you can promote your product in r/alphaandbetausers, but only if it fits the subreddit’s testing purpose and follows the posting rules. Posts must include a link to a product that is ready to be tested, use stage and system tags, include a description, and must not be just an email signup, launch waitlist, or future testing application page; spam, non-alpha/beta links, and NSFW products can be removed.

You cannot promote your product in the main feed of r/Notion. Rule 4, "No self-promotion," says, "Self-promotional and showcase content is only allowed in the fortnightly pinned Self-promo & Showcase threads," including "free and paid templates, third-party integrations, and dashboard showcases."

Promotion is heavily restricted. Rule 3 says, "Don’t shill" and adds, "If you are just here to advertise your product, don’t." Rule 4 also says, "If your first and only post is to promote your project (vibe-coded or otherwise), you will be immediately banned," so you should not use this subreddit mainly as an advertising channel.

You generally cannot promote your product in r/SomebodyMakeThis. Rule 2, "No Promotions," says posts promoting "Products, Ideas, or Platforms" for selling or enrolling users are not permitted, and it only allows certain promotions inside a pinned thread in the Highlights section. The public description also says, "Did you create something? Share it with us in the monthly Creator Showcase thread!"

No, you cannot promote your product in r/productivity. The rules explicitly say "No Advertising" and "Self-promotion is not allowed here in any form," and they also include DM advertising, referral codes, soliciting, surveying, and promotional/link farming as violations.

No, you cannot promote your product in r/WorkOnline. The sidebar states, "This sub is NOT for self-promotion. Posts advertising yourself for hire will be removed without hesitation," and also says, "No external/self-promotional business links and blogs."

No. Rule 2, "Self-Promotion & Dev Content," says, "Any self-promotion, tester requests, new app ideas or app feedback are not allowed in r/androidapps." The same rule says this content should go to the sister subreddit r/droidappshowcase instead.
