App id family
An app id family is the prefix that starts a ChatGPT app id, such as plugin_asdk_app_ for Apps SDK apps or plugins_ for the plugins family. ChatGPT's 6,611 listings fall into 7 id families on October 13, 2026; the two largest are Apps SDK (5,609) and plugins_ (899).

More from our data
In those two families the id ends in 32 hex characters, and the first 8 are the creation time in Unix seconds. Remote Desktop Commander's id starts with plugin_asdk_app_6a057d26: hex 6a057d26 is 1778744614 in decimal, which as Unix seconds is May 14, 2026. Ids in the OpenAI connector and curated plugin families don't follow this rule: in our listing sample their first 8 characters don't decode to a plausible date.
Listings per family:
| Family | Prefix | Listings |

The store's launched_at field holds this decoded id date. We call it Created, never Launched, because ids exist well before an app goes live: a median of 32.5 days in our listing sample (launch lag).
