Template Details
FindryAI is an AI tool directory website template customized by VastNext from the open-source directory template Mkdirs, built with Next.js and released under the Apache-2.0 license. It targets the purpose of discovering and comparing AI tools, offering common directory information organization such as tool entries, categories, collections, tags, and search, along with a blog module.
Functionally, the template includes user authentication and a dashboard, AI-assisted submission and content generation, free/paid/sponsored submissions via Stripe, and transactional emails sent through Resend; content is managed by Sanity CMS. The repository also provides SEO, analytics, theming, and responsive layout capabilities, and is configured to deploy to Vercel via GitHub Actions when v* tags are pushed.
Regarding usage constraints, the README explicitly requires copying .env.example and configuring credentials for Sanity, Auth.js, Stripe, Resend, and AI providers before integrated features work; these external services may charge separately. Screenshots of the demo site mkdirs.com are for illustrating page appearance only; upstream names, logos, and trademarks in the template remain the property of their respective owners.

License & source material
Usage conditions & limitations
Free to use · keep license noticeThis entry covers the free version in the public repository under the Apache-2.0 license; the free scope applies to that version's code and does not imply that external services or third-party assets are free.
Must comply with when using
- Free use, modification, commercial use, and distribution are permitted; the Apache-2.0 license must be included when distributing.
- Modified files must carry prominent notices of changes, and relevant copyright, patent, trademark, and attribution notices must be retained.
- If the original project includes a NOTICE file, applicable attribution notices must be retained when distributing derivative works.
- The license includes an applicable contributor patent grant; initiating patent litigation as described in the license terminates that patent grant, and no trademark rights are granted.
- The code is provided as-is; warranties and limitations of liability are governed by the original license and applicable law.
Additional costs & items to verify
- Integrated features require configuring external service credentials first: Sanity (CMS), Auth.js (authentication), Stripe (payments), Resend (email), and AI providers. These services require registering accounts and obtaining API keys, and may incur additional costs; related features are unavailable without configuration.
- Free, paid, and sponsored submission features depend on the Stripe payment service; you must open a Stripe account and bear its transaction fees.
- Transactional emails depend on the external Resend service; you must register and configure an API key, which may incur costs.
- Production deployment depends on GitHub Actions and Vercel external services; you must configure the corresponding accounts and permissions.
- The upstream Mkdirs template's names, logos, and trademarks belong to their respective owners and may not be used arbitrarily; redistribution must comply with Apache-2.0 copyright, NOTICE, modification marking, and trademark clauses.
- Demo images, fonts, icons, and other third-party assets must be checked against their respective licenses and cannot be judged solely by the code's Apache-2.0 license.
- External services such as domains, hosting, databases, payments, or AI may charge separately.

How this score is calculated
Our heuristic uses license records (up to 30), a demo link (12), a preview (10), stars (15), recorded maintenance (15), description completeness (8), feature records (5) and classification data (5). It is not a code, security or performance test, or a Google score. A link does not establish tested functionality.

A demo link is listed. Check it with your own content and viewport sizes; its presence does not confirm that forms, authentication or payments work.
The catalog identifies Next.js as the primary stack. Check the actual dependency manifest and lockfile for versions and hosting requirements. These notes use recorded metadata, not a code audit or a deployment test.
