ReleaseDock started from a simple frustration: every product ships updates, but most users never hear about them. We're building the easiest way for product teams to close that gap.
We've been on both sides. As developers, we shipped features that nobody noticed. As users, we missed updates that would have saved us hours.
The tools that existed were either too complex, too expensive, or too ugly. We wanted something that takes two minutes to set up, looks great out of the box, and actually gets read.
So we built ReleaseDock — a changelog and widget platform that makes it effortless to keep users in the loop.
These aren't wall posters. They're how we make decisions every day.
We'd rather ship something good today and improve it tomorrow than wait for perfect. Our users give us the best feedback.
In our product and our communication, we choose the simple path. If a feature needs a tutorial, it's too complicated.
Every notification, every email, every UI element earns its place. We don't spam, we don't dark-pattern, we don't waste attention.
We use our own product to publish our own changelog. If we break something, we say so. Trust is built in public.
Product managers, developers, marketers — everyone on the team should feel at home in ReleaseDock.
We're a small team competing with well-funded incumbents. We win by being faster, more focused, and more opinionated.
Small team, big ambitions. We're building ReleaseDock from the ground up.
Frustrated by clunky changelog tools and $99/mo price tags for basic features, we started sketching what a modern, affordable alternative could look like.
Built the core: rich text editor, embeddable widget, public changelog page, and email notifications. Convex for the backend, Next.js for the frontend.
Added real-time support conversations with file attachments, collision detection, and email integration.
Polishing the product, writing docs, and onboarding early users. We're building in the open and shipping every week.
ReleaseDock is free to start. Set up your first changelog in under two minutes.
