The apps we added to this market most recently.
| # | App | Added |
|---|---|---|
| 1 |  ReadMe ReadMe helps you create beautiful, interactive API documentation that developers love. | |
| 2 |  Fern Start with OpenAPI. Generate SDKs in multiple languages, interactive API documentation, and an agent-first CLI. | |
| 3 | US Blume Ship beautiful, fast, AI-ready documentation from plain markdown. Blume gives you search, theming, SEO, and one-command deploys on Astro and Vite. | |
| 4 |  Routebase Your API lives in your design tool, your docs, your mocks, your tests, your monitoring — and every copy drifts. Routebase makes them one living source: change the spec, publish, and it catches what drifted. (Your AI agents read the same source over MCP.) | |
| 5 |  Apidoke Beautiful API documentation that stays up to date. | |
| 6 |  FluidDocs FluidDocs are interactive HTML documents that keep working after you hit send. A proposal that reprices itself, an offer with live equity math, an API reference that rewrites its examples around the reader's key. Every document answers questions from its own content, and reader analytics come out of the box. The open source Deck Builder that launched here lives on as part of the platform, and the template gallery at fluiddocs.ai/templates is the fastest way in. | |
| 7 |  Acopio Save dev tools once, let Claude and Cursor rediscover them via MCP | |
| 8 |  Qapir Validate full backend system behavior as changes accelerate | |
| 9 |  apidex API docs your developers actually use. | |
| 10 | git-lrc GenAI is like a race car without brakes. It accelerates fast — you describe something, and large blocks of code appear instantly. But AI agents silently break things. They remove logic. Relax constraints. Introduce expensive cloud calls. Leak credentials. Change behavior without telling you. git-lrc is your braking system. It hooks into git commit and runs an AI review on every diff before it lands. | |
| 11 |  Itdoc Generate API docs from test code in NodeJS | |
| 12 |  DocPIlot Beautiful, interactive API docs right from your codebase! |
