What you actually get
A listing in a well-kept shelf of design resources, organised into collections like free mockup websites, open-source icons and free font websites as well as a plain category tree covering Figma plugins, Framer, Webflow and UI kits. The submission leaves the site entirely: both the Submit a tool and Add yours controls point at a Tally form on tally.so. Link value is unverified.

How to submit to Good Design Tools

  1. Check the shelf
    Categories run from 3D and accessibility through Figma plugins, Framer and Webflow, plus curated collections.
  2. Leave the site
    Submit a tool and Add yours both point at https://tally.so/r/mBbA8N.
  3. Fill the Tally form
    The submission happens on Tally rather than on their own domain.

Gotchas

The submission form is hosted on tally.so rather than on their own site, so the flow leaves the domain and there is no account or dashboard to check afterwards.
The shelves are strictly design and front end, so a general SaaS product has nowhere to sit even if the form accepts it.
No review time is published, and because the form is external there is no status page to return to.
