Everything you need to track tasks, ship releases, and stay on top of App Store submissions.
LaunchBuddy works as your iOS app release manager, keeping every task tied to a version you plan to ship. Organize bug fixes, features, and polish into releases so you always know what ships next. Whether you are preparing an App Store submission or a TestFlight build, your release plan stays visible. Perfect as a side project tracker when you juggle multiple Xcode projects at once.
Seamlessly sync your Xcode projects between iOS and macOS via iCloud. Review tasks on your iPhone, update progress at your Mac, and pick up exactly where you left off. LaunchBuddy is built for indie developers who work across devices without losing context. Your iOS developer task manager stays current whether you are at your desk or on the go.
Create reusable checklists that automatically add tasks to every release. Standardize screenshots, metadata, TestFlight builds, and review notes so nothing gets forgotten before submission. LaunchBuddy replaces scattered notes with a simple App Store submission tracker built into your workflow. Spend less time remembering steps and more time shipping your next version.
