The release notes tool
for people who'd rather be shipping.
ReleasePad turns your GitHub commits into release notes and delivers them to users inside your app — automatically. You ship. It drafts. Your users actually find out what changed.
No credit card. Connect a repo and see your first AI-drafted notes in minutes.
Dark mode is here
Easier on the eyes during late-night sessions, and just as crisp in daylight. Flip it on anytime in your settings, and the whole app — dashboards, reports, and menus — switches over instantly.
Pages now load 2x faster
We rebuilt how pages fetch and render their data, so dashboards and reports now open in about half the time. The difference is most noticeable on large accounts with a lot of history to load.
Fixed the surprise logouts
A bug was quietly signing some people out before their session should have ended. That's fixed now, so you'll stay logged in until you actually choose to leave.
What is a release notes tool?
A release notes tool — sometimes called release notes software or a changelog tool — helps you create, publish, and share updates about what changed in your product, across a hosted changelog page, an in-app widget, email, and feeds. ReleasePad goes one step further: it generates the release notes from your GitHub commits with AI, so you're reviewing a draft instead of writing from a blank page. The result is professional, consistent release notes that ship in minutes instead of after hours.
Shipping got fast.
Telling people got left behind.
AI made you ship faster than ever. The changelog? Still a manual chore you do at 11pm, or skip entirely.
The blank page wins
Writing release notes from scratch after a release is the task that always gets bumped. So it never happens.
Features ship to silence
You built it. If nobody hears about it, adoption stalls and the work quietly goes to waste.
The product feels static
A stale changelog signals an abandoned product. Visible momentum is one of the cheapest retention levers you have.
Three steps. Then it runs itself.
Connect once, and every release after that is a few minutes of editing instead of an afternoon of writing.
Connect your repo
Authorize GitHub — we're on the GitHub Marketplace. ReleasePad reads your merged PRs and commit messages, with Conventional Commit parsing built in.
AI drafts the notes
It groups changes into Feature / Improvement / Fix, drops the noise, and writes in plain language a customer can read — not "bump deps to 4.2.1." See how the automation works.
Review and publish
Edit anything, then hit publish. Your public changelog page and in-app widget both update at once.
A release notes tool that starts from the work you already did.
The difference isn't a longer feature list. It's the starting point: your commits, not a blank editor.
Commits to changelog, automatically
AI-drafted entries from your merged PRs — the writing is mostly done before you ever open the app. Most releases turn into a two-minute review and publish.
In-app widget
A 4.3kb embeddable widget — updates show up where users already are. See it →
Public changelog page
Hosted on your own domain, SEO-ready, and easy to bookmark and share. See it →
LLM-ready Markdown
A stable Markdown URL so Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, and agents read your updates accurately.
Changelog analytics
Per-post views, unique readers, and widget open-rate — see what users actually read.
Edit anything, connect anything
Drafts are a starting point, not a cage — rewrite, merge, schedule, or hold entries back. And connect the rest of your stack with a REST API, webhooks on publish, and Zapier / Make compatibility.
Readable by humans and AI agents.
Your changelog isn't just for people anymore. Agents read product updates to answer "what changed" and "is this fixed yet." ReleasePad publishes a structured, LLM-ready Markdown version at a stable URL, so your users and their AI tools get accurate answers.
Why AI agents are reading your changelogBuilt for everyone who ships.
From solo founders to product teams — if you ship and want the changelog to keep up on its own, it fits.
Solo founders
Who keep meaning to tell users what they built, and never find the hour. See the solo founder's release stack.
Small SaaS teams
Two to twenty people, with nobody whose job is comms. The first draft is handled. See the SaaS release notes guide.
Product teams
Who want consistent, on-brand, automated release notes without a recurring writing ritual eating the sprint.
"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."
Most release notes software starts with a blank editor.
That's fine if you have a comms person. Painful if you're the founder, engineer, and marketer at once.

A release notes tool helps you create, publish, and share updates about what changed in your product. ReleasePad goes a step further: it generates the release notes from your GitHub commits automatically, so you're editing a draft instead of writing from scratch.
It connects to your GitHub repo, reads your merged PRs and commit messages (with Conventional Commit parsing), and uses AI to group and rewrite them into plain language. You review the draft and publish.
Yes. Every draft is editable. Change the wording, merge entries, schedule, hold something back, or rewrite it entirely. The AI removes the blank-page problem; you keep the final say.
To a public changelog page on your own domain, an in-app widget (4.3kb, no dependencies), an opt-in email digest, RSS/JSON feeds, and an LLM-ready Markdown endpoint — all from one publish.
There's a free tier to get started. Pro is a flat $35/month per product — no per-seat fees, no usage tiers, no contracts. See pricing for the full breakdown.
Those start from a blank editor. ReleasePad starts from your commits and drafts the notes for you, then delivers them in-app, on a hosted page, and as machine-readable Markdown. See our ReleasePad vs Beamer comparison.
