The flat-price changelog

Tell people what you shipped.

Every release gets a home — a public changelog page in your colours, a "what's new" badge that lives on your own site, and a feedback board where your users vote on what comes next. $19 a month, flat. No watermark, no entry caps, no upsell waiting at the end.

No card to start · publishing begins a 7-day trial, then $19 a month

How it works

Three minutes to your first release note.

Nothing to install
  1. Write it

    A title, a few honest lines in markdown, a tag, a screenshot if you have one. Draft as many as you like — nothing goes out until you say so.

  2. Publish it

    It lands on your public page instantly, in your colours, at your address — and subscribers get one tidy email.

  3. Everyone knows

    The badge on your site lights up with an unread dot. Your users click it. That's the whole loop.

Two things. Both yours.

No "powered by" badge renting space on your page. Your name, your colour, your domain.

A page of their own

Every workspace gets a public changelog at its own address. Point your domain at it and it's indistinguishable from the rest of your site.

A badge on your site

One script tag. It shows an unread dot when you publish and opens a panel with your latest entries. Styles are isolated — it can't clash with your CSS.

This one is live. Click it.

Every option, and what a strict CSP needs

Ask, vote, ship.

Two more tabs beside your changelog, on the same domain, in the same colours: a board where your users post ideas and vote, and a roadmap that shows what you are doing about them.

Same price

A feedback board

Your users sign in by email link — no password, no account with us — post an idea and vote on the rest. You approve, reply once under your name, set a status, or merge the duplicate into the original with its votes.

Review before publishing is on from the start, and a word list, a hidden field and a timer keep the spam out without a CAPTCHA.

A roadmap that closes the loop

Planned, in progress and shipped, in three columns. When you publish the entry that ships an idea, link them: the idea moves to Shipped, the entry says who asked for it, and everyone who voted sees it there next time they look.

Either tab can be switched on alone, an idea can be kept off the roadmap, and voters are never counted or capped.

What's in it

The parts of a changelog people actually notice.

All of it in the one plan, from the first day of the trial.

Markdown, safely

Bold, links, lists, headings and code. Anything else you paste is shown as text, never run on your page.

A page for every release

Each entry has an address of its own to share, and previews with its own title, opening lines and picture.

A board for ideas

Your users post what they want and vote for what is already there. You reply, set a status, and merge the duplicates. No password, no CAPTCHA, no badge of ours.

A roadmap that keeps its word

Planned, in progress and shipped. Link an idea to the entry that ships it and the idea shows Shipped, with the entry beside it, for everyone who voted.

Email, done properly

Sent under your name, with nothing to set up. Readers confirm their address before they join your list, and every email carries a one-click way out. Skip the email for a small fix.

An Atom feed

For the readers, and the team chat channels, that would rather follow a feed than hand over an address.

Bring your history

Import from an RSS or Atom feed, a CSV or a CHANGELOG.md. You see exactly what will happen to every entry before anything is written.

Dates that tell the truth

Give an entry the date it really shipped. History goes in quietly: nobody gets fifty emails about last year.

Yours to the pixel

Your logo, tagline and accent colour, in a light or a dark theme, on your own domain.

Nothing phones home

Your page loads nothing from anyone else: no trackers, no third-party fonts, and no analytics of ours on your readers.

Free tools

Useful before you ever sign up.

Four tools for anyone who writes release notes, whatever they publish them with. No account, nothing to install, nothing you paste is kept.

The short answers.

A hosted changelog for software products, with a feedback board and a roadmap beside it. You write release notes in Markdown; they are published on a page of their own — on your own domain if you like — with a page for every entry, an Atom feed, an in-app widget and email to readers who subscribed. Your users post ideas and vote on them on the same domain, and the roadmap shows what is planned, in progress and shipped. One plan at $19 a month, flat.

$19 a month, everything included: your own domain, the widget, subscriber emails, the feedback board, the roadmap and unlimited entries. Writing drafts is free and needs no card. Publishing starts a 7-day trial with everything unlocked, and a card is asked for then.

No. Your page carries your name, your logo and your colour, and no badge or "powered by" line of ours — on the trial as well as after. The small print under the subscribe form names you and links your privacy policy; it mentions us only if you choose to say who delivers your emails. Your subscribers' emails go out under your name, with your address and your privacy policy in the footer; they are sent from an address of ours, which is the one place in them our name appears.

Yes, from the first day of the trial. Point a CNAME at us and add the hostname in your workspace settings; the certificate is handled for you. Until then your changelog lives at relnotely.com/your-name.

Yes. Import it from an RSS or Atom feed, a CSV export or a CHANGELOG.md. Entries keep their original dates, you see a preview of every one before anything is written, and your subscribers are not emailed about history.

No. Your changelog loads nothing from anyone else — no trackers, no third-party fonts — and we do not measure your readers. People who subscribe by email confirm their address first and can leave with one click.

Both, on your own domain, in the same plan. Your users sign in by email link to post ideas and vote; you review, reply, set a status and link an idea to the entry that shipped it. The roadmap shows what is planned, in progress and shipped. Neither sends email: people see what changed when they visit. Voters are never counted or capped, and there is no badge of ours on any of it.

Pricing

Priced to be boring.

Most changelog tools hand you a free tier that is really an advert — their badge on your page, a cap on entries, the useful parts held back. Here it's one plan that does everything.

$19 a month, flat
everything included
No watermark

Your changelog carries your name and your colour. Nobody advertises on the page your customers read.

No artificial limits

Unlimited entries, drafts and page views. Nothing stops working once you've written enough.

No upsell

Custom domain, subscribers, widget, feedback board, roadmap — all in the one price. There is no tier above this one.
