Turn distribution into your
daily indie habit.
GTM Gate helps indie hackers stay accountable by completing real GTM actions before going back to build.
Finish today's GTM actions to unlock your build tools.
Indie hackers don't fail because
they can't build. They fail because they don't distribute.
A simple system that keeps
your GTM habit alive.
GTM Gate replaces vague intentions with a daily gate: complete your outreach, updates, and asks before your build tools unlock. No streaks broken, no distribution skipped.
