MakerHunt is a daily hunt. The clock is UTC, not your local timezone.
When listings go live
Around 09:00 UTC we open today's scheduled launches and close yesterday's live day. Ranked products keep Product of the Day 1–3. Projects with zero votes still launch; they just do not get a rank badge.
Free path
Free listings are next-day only. Pass the Featured-on homepage crawl, then you land on the next UTC launch day. There is no calendar picker on free.
Paid path
Premium, Featured, and SEO skip the badge crawl. They still use the next UTC day after payment unless an admin overrides.
Empty days still run. We do not cap how many products can launch.
