Every great app starts with a great release plan. LaunchDock is the release planner built for indie developers and small teams who ship fast and ship often — without the bloat of enterprise project management tools. HOW IT WORKS: 1. Create a release with a version number, name, and target date 2. Add features with categories: Feature, Bug Fix, Improvement, or Breaking Change 3. Track progress through the status pipeline: Planned → In Progress → Ready → Shipped 4. Reorder features with drag-and-drop to build the perfect changelog sequence 5. Export release notes as Markdown or plain text, then share via Messages, Email, or Slack KEY FEATURES: • Release planning with version tracking and target dates • Feature organization with color-coded categories (Feature, Bug Fix, Improvement, Breaking Change) • Visual status pipeline: Planned, In Progress, Ready, Shipped • Progress indicator showing percentage of features completed • Drag-to-reorder features for changelog sequencing • One-tap changelog export as Markdown or plain text • Built-in launch templates: App Store Release, Beta Test, Hotfix, Major Update • Pre-launch checklists so you never miss a step • Dashboard view showing all releases with status badges and feature counts • Filter releases by status to focus on what matters now • Clean, developer-first design with no clutter • All data stored locally on your device — no account required • No cloud dependency, no subscription, no lock-in FOR INDIE DEVELOPERS: You don't need Jira to plan a version bump. LaunchDock gives you just enough structure to stay organized and just enough speed to never slow you down. FOR SMALL TEAMS: Plan your sprints, track your features, and export clean changelogs your users will actually read. All from your phone between meetings. FOR SOLO FOUNDERS: Capture release ideas the moment they strike. Add features on the go. Export your changelog while waiting for the build to finish. PRIVACY BY DESIGN: No account required. No server. No tracking. Your release plans stay on your device, period. Important: LaunchDock is a planning and organization tool. It does not connect to App Store Connect, GitHub, GitLab, or any external service.
