How Lifthoff works
From “I made this” to “they want it.”
Lifthoff is a discovery platform for things people make. Creators and brands post what they’re working on, from half-formed product ideas to finished products, and see who wants it. Everyone else finds new products, apps and games before they blow up.
For creators and brands
- 01
Post it, even if it’s only an idea
Publish a product, app, game, service or idea with photos, a few lines and a link. Mark it Idea if you haven’t built it yet, Coming soon if it’s on the way, or Live if people can get it now.
- 02
Test the idea before you build it
On an idea, people tap I want this. That count is real demand from real accounts, so you can see whether an idea is worth making before you spend money on it. Browse product ideas testing demand to see how others do it.
- 03
Build an audience before launch day
On coming-soon products, people tap Notify me. When you switch the product to Live, every follower gets told. You launch to people who already asked for it.
- 04
See who actually wants it
Your dashboard shows views, interest, followers, clicks and where your traffic comes from. Share tracked links (for TikTok, Instagram, Reddit and more) to see which platform works.
- 05
Send buyers to your own store
“Get it” sends people to your own store, the App Store, Steam or wherever you sell. Lifthoff never takes a cut of those sales.
- 06
Find promoters
Post a campaign and creators pitch you. Agree the details in Messages; payment is arranged directly between you.
For people who love finding new things
- Discover what’s trending, brand new and coming soon, or browse by category.
- Tap I want this on ideas you’d buy. Creators see it, and it can decide what gets made.
- Follow products and brands and get notified when something launches. See what’s coming soon.
- Comment, ask questions and mention friends with @.
- It’s free. When you buy, you buy from the creator directly.
For creators who promote products
Brands post campaigns describing what they want promoted and on which platforms. Pitch the ones that fit, talk it through in Messages, and agree payment or free product directly with the brand. Lifthoff connects you and never asks you to pay to take part.
What it costs
Browsing, following and saying “I want this” are free. Publishing takes the business plan: $19 a month, cancel anytime. Drafts are always free, and Lifthoff takes no fee on sales made on your own store.
