about

We make the boring part of shipping feel good.

Releasedog is a tiny tool for a common problem: you shipped something great, and now you have to tell people about it without losing an afternoon to a Google Doc.

our story

Started because we kept putting it off.

We were shipping weekly, sometimes daily, and every Friday the same thing happened: someone would ask "what went out this week?" and we'd stare blankly at a pile of Jira tickets.

The existing tools felt built for marketing teams at 500-person SaaS companies — heavyweight, expensive, and full of features we'd never touch. We wanted something that respected our time and didn't ask for a demo call.

So we built it. Releasedog reads your tickets, drafts a clean set of release notes, and publishes them in a place your users will actually find. That's the whole product. It does one thing and it tries to do it really well.

What we believe

  • Shipping should feel fun, not like admin work.
  • Small teams deserve tools that were built for them.
  • Good docs and good defaults beat a hundred settings.
  • A little personality goes a long way.
how we work

Four principles, kept on the fridge.

Boring where it matters

Auth, billing, uptime — we pick the dullest, most reliable option every time. Your release notes should never go down.

Opinionated where it helps

We don't make you pick a font. We don't ask how wide your container should be. Defaults should get out of your way.

Reply within a day

Feature requests, bug reports, weird edge cases — a real human replies, fast. Usually the one who wrote the code.

Small on purpose

We're staying small so we can keep shipping every week. Growth is a side effect of being useful, not the goal.

Got thoughts? We read every email.

Feature ideas, bug reports, a nice note — we read all of it. Most replies go out the same day.
