Ship your next App Store release without the chaos
Plan releases, run submission checklists, reply to reviews, and talk to AI that knows your apps — on iPhone and Mac. Built for indie devs who'd rather ship than admin.
Free to download · Pro from $2.99/mo
Free for 2 apps · Pro unlocks App Store Connect, AI, and unlimited projects
Not Jira. Not a kanban clone. A release command center for solo developers and small studios shipping to the App Store — without enterprise overhead.
From first commit to App Store review
Free-tier essentials to get started — Pro tools that turn LaunchBuddy into your ASC + AI hub.
Track tasks and releases in one place
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 — TestFlight or App Store submission.
iPhone and Mac, always in sync
Review tasks on your iPhone, reply to reviews at your Mac, pick up exactly where you left off. Your private iCloud keeps projects current across every device.
Smart App Store submission checklists
Reusable checklists that auto-add tasks to every release. Screenshots, metadata, TestFlight, review notes — nothing gets forgotten before you hit submit.
App Store Connect, built in
Connect your ASC API key once. Pull reviews and analytics, push release notes, and reply from your phone — without living in a browser tab.
AI that knows your apps
App Chat reads your tasks, releases, and cached review data. Idea Chat turns brainstorms into backlog items. Draft release notes and review replies — not a generic ChatGPT wrapper.
Ship smarter with experiments & notes
Track ASO A/B tests per app — icons, screenshots, copy — with baseline vs. experiment metrics. Keep product and marketing notes attached to each project.
Upgrade when you're ready to ship more
Free gets you started on a side project. Pro unlocks ASC, AI, and unlimited apps for $2.99/mo — less than a coffee.
