We’ve upgraded the Hex-Rays plugin repository to make it easier than ever to submit and manage your plugins. The old submission process needed an upgrade, so we rebuilt the system to streamline everything. Now, submitting a plugin is as simple as providing a GitHub URL and including an ida-plugin.json file. Full details and examples are available in our documentation.
If you’ve created a plugin or are actively maintaining one, there’s a simple yet powerful step you might be missing: reclaiming ownership of your plugin. It’s more than just a formality — it’s a strategic move that unlocks visibility, support, and growth opportunities.
Why do you have to reclaim your plugin? When we migrated all plugins from the previous site to the new repository, we integrated the process with our customer portal, my.hex-rays.com. So now we need the original authors to reclaim their plugins due to this system change.
This step ensures you can manage updates, and control your plugin(s) going forward. Here are some other benefits of reclaiming ownership of your plugin is essential:
🚀 Boost Your Plugin’s Visibility
When you’re officially listed as the plugin owner, your plugin benefits from improved exposure across our ecosystem. Ownership helps users identify who’s actively maintaining the plugin, which builds trust and increases adoption. Plus, your plugin is more likely to appear in curated listings and recommendation feeds — helping it reach a wider audience.
🛠 Get Priority Support
As a verified plugin owner, you gain access to our dedicated support team. Whether you run into a tricky issue or need guidance on best practices, you’ll be able to reach out and get tailored help — fast. This direct line to assistance can save you hours of troubleshooting and give you peace of mind as you continue developing.
🧪 Stay Ahead with New Features
We’re constantly evolving our platform, and as an official plugin owner, you’ll be the first to know when new repository features launch — you’ll stay in the loop and ahead of the curve.
🎯 Ownership Means Empowerment
By claiming your plugin, you don’t just gain access to tools — you gain a voice. You can influence how your plugin is represented, reach out for collaboration opportunities, and help shape the plugin ecosystem for everyone.
