A changelog is a dated list of what changed in a product, newest first. A public one tells customers what is new and shows that the product is being looked after.

Can I use my own domain for the changelog?

Yes, on Pro and Team. Point a CNAME such as changelog.yourapp.com at Shipnoted and your pages are served there, with the certificate handled for you.

Does the changelog have an RSS feed?

Yes. Every changelog has an RSS feed and a JSON feed, and a feed for each type of change, so people can follow only New or only Fixed entries.

Is there a free plan for changelogs?

Yes. The Free plan includes a public changelog, a feedback board, a roadmap and the widget for one project with up to 100 subscribers.

Can I move my existing changelog in?

Yes. You can import releases from GitHub Releases, and a changelog and feedback board from Canny, Featurebase or Productboard, using an API key, in about a minute.

Features

Changelog software that people actually read

Short answerShipnoted is changelog software: a public page of release notes in your own colours and type, a What's New widget for inside your app, an RSS and JSON feed, and email to subscribers. The free plan includes all of it for one project.

What you get#

A public changelog at yourapp.com/changelog (on Pro, your own domain) or on a Shipnoted address. Entries are written in Markdown with headings, images, code blocks, callouts and embedded videos.
Ten themes, six typefaces and your own accent colour. Light, dark, or following each visitor's system setting. It looks like part of your product, not ours.
A What's New widget for your app: one script tag adds a button with an unread dot, a panel of recent releases and a way to suggest ideas.
Subscribers and feeds. Readers can subscribe by email (confirmed, never spammed), by RSS or by JSON feed, or follow only the types of change they care about: New, Improved, Fixed or Breaking.
Release types and search. Every entry carries tags, readers can filter and search, and every heading has a link you can share.

How an entry gets written#

You can write it yourself in the editor, which has a live preview of the public page. Or connect GitHub and let the notes draft themselves from merged pull requests: AI release notes collects what changed, leaves out chores, and writes it for users. You always read and edit before anything goes live.

What it costs#

The Free plan is the whole product for one project: changelog, feedback board, roadmap and widget, with 100 subscribers. Pro is $19 a month ($190 a year) and adds your own domain, no Shipnoted badge, email to voters, scheduling and the API. Team is $49 a month for five projects and fifty people. Prices are flat: readers and voters are never counted.
