Changelog Software that reaches your users at the exact moment they care most — inside your app.
A Release Notes Software to communicate your product changes better. Built for indie hackers, solo founders, small teams and startups who ship fast.
Your changelog shouldn't be an afterthought.
Most release notes are either "bug fixes and improvements" or a wall of Jira tickets nobody reads - a changelog is the place where you tell your users what you shipped, and most teams treat it like an afterthought.
Shipping is only half the job. The other half is telling people what you shipped. They're not separate things — they're the same loop.
Build, release, communicate. That's how you earn trust.
Your features don't sell themselves
You built it. That doesn't mean users know it exists. A changelog turns every release into a discovery moment — and keeps users engaged between updates.
Users who see progress, stay
Nobody churns from a product that keeps getting better — they churn from products that feel abandoned.
Fewer "does it do X?" emails
Half your support tickets are about features you already built. A changelog is documentation that people actually read.
Powerful when automated. Simple when it's not.
A changelog page your users will actually visit
Don't bury your updates in Slack threads or hidden menus. Give them a dedicated, public page on your own domain — one users can find, bookmark, and come back to.
- Your users will actually notice — A polished page that looks like you built it yourself. Updates get seen, not skipped.
- SEO that compounds — Every entry you publish gets indexed under your domain and keeps working long after you hit publish.

Your changelog, right inside your app
Your users are already inside your app — that's the best moment to tell them what's new. Drop in one HTML snippet and your changelog appears where it matters most. No dependencies, no build steps, no ongoing maintenance.
- Catches users at their most receptive moment — They're actively using your product when they see what's new. Updates that show up in context actually get read.
- 30 seconds to install, nothing to maintain — One HTML snippet. No dependencies, no build step. Paste it in and it works.
Your commits become your changelog.
You already wrote it in your commits and PR descriptions. Stop writing it twice. Connect your GitHub repo and our AI automatically turns every merge into a polished changelog entry your users can actually read.
- Ship now, document never — Every merge creates a changelog entry automatically. No extra steps, no separate workflow.
- No more "I'll write the notes tomorrow" — The entry is written the moment you merge, not added to a to-do list that never gets done.
- From dev jargon to plain English — AI rewrites your raw commit messages into clear, engaging entries. No more "fix: resolve null pointer exception" in your user-facing changelog.
Dark mode is here
Users can now switch between light and dark themes from account settings. The preference syncs automatically across all devices and sessions.
What Landed (and What Flopped)
Stop guessing what your users want. See what they actually clicked.
- Clicks vs. crickets — Know exactly which updates users engaged with and which ones they ignored.
- Spot the patterns — See if engagement grows release after release — and whether users keep coming back.
- Prioritize without the politics — Prioritize based on real behavior, not vibes.
AI assistants that actually know your product
Your users are already asking AI assistants about your product. With ReleasePad, those assistants can give accurate answers — because your changelog is always published as structured Markdown at a public URL, ready for any AI to read and parse.
- Your AI tools stay current — Point any AI assistant at your changelog URL and it always knows what you've shipped.
- Just a URL, nothing to build — Share one endpoint and any AI tool can access your full release history.
- Precise by default — Version numbers, dates, and categories are all structured so AI can answer specific questions accurately.
In v2.4.1 (Feb 18, 2026) there were 3 updates:
- ✨Dark mode support added across all themes
- ⚡Widget load time reduced by 40%
- 🐛SSO callback error resolved
Loved by teams who ship
"ReleasePad completely transformed how we communicate with our users. Before, release notes were an afterthought — a bullet list buried in Slack. Now we have a beautiful, public-facing changelog that our users actually subscribe to. We've seen a 40% drop in support tickets because customers can finally see what changed and when."
"We used to spend hours formatting release notes across five different channels. ReleasePad's AI drafts them from our commits in seconds. I just review, edit, and publish. It's the first tool that actually saved us time instead of creating more work."
"Our engineers hated writing release notes. Now they push a release to GitHub and ReleasePad picks it up automatically. The notes practically write themselves. Our devs are happy, our users are informed, and I haven't had to nag anyone in months."
"The embeddable widget sold us immediately. We dropped it into our app in under ten minutes and suddenly users started noticing our updates. Feature engagement is night and day compared to before."
"We used to guess what to build next based on gut feel and whoever shouted loudest in Slack. Now I look at the analytics after every release and I can see exactly what users engaged with. It's changed how we prioritize our roadmap entirely."
"Before ReleasePad, every release felt invisible. Now we have a living, searchable changelog that users actually reference. The design is so clean our customers have complimented it unprompted — they thought we built it in-house."
"We're a small team with no dedicated marketing person. ReleasePad lets us look like we have a whole comms department. The changelog looks polished, goes out automatically, and users actually look forward to our updates now."
"We plugged our changelog URL into our support AI and it immediately started giving accurate answers about what's changed and when. No custom integration, no maintenance. Our AI assistant actually knows our product now."
"We maintain three product lines and ReleasePad handles them all from one dashboard. Each has its own changelog, its own brand, its own audience. It scaled perfectly as we grew without adding any complexity."
"We tried Notion, Confluence, a custom blog — none of them lasted because no one wanted to maintain them. ReleasePad actually gets maintained because it's frictionless. It's become a core part of our release ritual."
"Release notes are marketing — ReleasePad made that real for us. Every deploy is now an opportunity to remind users why they chose us. Our NPS went up after we started communicating changes consistently, and we're not stopping."

Frequently Asked Questions
You can start for free — no credit card required — and publish a limited number of entries to explore the product. When you're ready to ship without limits, upgrade to Pro at $35/mo flat. That gets you unlimited posts, analytics, the in-app widget, the public changelog page, GitHub integration, and API access. One price, everything included, no per-seat fees.
Connect your GitHub repo from your ReleasePad dashboard, then ship as usual. Every time you merge a PR, our AI reads your commit messages and PR description and drafts a changelog entry automatically. You review it, make any edits, and publish. Nothing goes live without your approval — the AI handles the first draft, you decide what your users see.
No. GitHub integration is optional — it just removes the manual writing step. You can create and publish entries directly in ReleasePad at any time, with any git host, or none at all. The integration is there when you want it; the product works without it.
About 30 seconds. Copy one HTML snippet from your ReleasePad dashboard and paste it into your app — anywhere you want the widget to appear. No dependencies, no build step, no configuration required. The widget is 4.3kb gzipped, lighter than most favicons, so there's no performance impact either.
You stay in control. When a PR merges, the AI drafts a changelog entry — but nothing goes live until you review and publish it. You can edit, rewrite, or discard the draft entirely. Think of it as having a first draft waiting for you every time you ship, not an autopilot publishing on your behalf.
Your data doesn't disappear immediately. Your changelog stays accessible until the end of your billing period, and you can export all your entries at any time from your dashboard. No lock-in, no surprises.
A changelog platform is a dedicated tool for publishing product updates to your users. It gives you a structured place to document what you shipped — new features, fixes, improvements — and surfaces those updates through a public page, an in-app widget, or both. Unlike a Slack message or a blog post, it's a persistent, searchable record your users can reference at any time.
Release notes bridge the gap between what you built and what your users know exists. If a user doesn't know you shipped a feature, that feature might as well not exist. Consistent release notes reduce support tickets, reduce churn from users who think your product is stagnant, and drive engagement with features users have been waiting for. Shipping is only half the job — communicating what you shipped is the other half.
Every good entry needs four things: a category (New, Improved, Fixed), a title that describes the outcome for the user — not the technical change, a one to three sentence description explaining what changed and why it matters, and a date. Screenshots or short GIFs significantly improve engagement. The one thing to avoid: writing for engineers. Your users care what changed in their experience, not in your code.
