How it works
Three minutes to your first release note.
01
Write it
A title, a few honest lines in markdown, a tag, a screenshot if you have one. Draft as many as you like — nothing goes out until you say so.
02
Publish it
It lands on your public page instantly, in your colours, at your address — and subscribers get one tidy email.
03
Everyone knows
The badge on your site lights up with an unread dot. Your users click it. That's the whole loop.
Two things. Both yours.
No "powered by" badge renting space on your page. Your name, your colour, your domain.
A page of their own
Every workspace gets a public changelog at its own address. Point your domain at it and it's indistinguishable from the rest of your site.

A badge on your site
One script tag. It shows an unread dot when you publish and opens a panel with your latest entries. Styles are isolated — it can't clash with your CSS.

Markdown, safely
Bold, links, lists, headings and code. Anything else you paste is shown as text, never run on your page.

Questions
The short answers.
What is Relnotely?
A hosted changelog for software products. You write release notes in Markdown; they are published on a page of their own — on your own domain if you like — with a page for every entry, an Atom feed, an in-app widget and email to readers who subscribed. One plan at $19 a month, flat.
How much does Relnotely cost?
$19 a month, everything included: your own domain, the widget, subscriber emails and unlimited entries. Writing drafts is free and needs no card. Publishing starts a 7-day trial with everything unlocked, and a card is asked for then.
Does Relnotely put a badge on my changelog?
No. Your page carries your name, your logo and your colour, and no badge or "powered by" line of ours — on the trial as well as after. The only mention of us is the small print under the subscribe form and the legal links a page that takes email addresses has to carry.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes, from the first day of the trial. Point a CNAME at us and add the hostname in your workspace settings; the certificate is handled for you. Until then your changelog lives at relnotely.com/your-name.
Can I import my existing changelog?
Yes. Import it from an RSS or Atom feed, a CSV export or a CHANGELOG.md. Entries keep their original dates, you see a preview of every one before anything is written, and your subscribers are not emailed about history.
Do my readers get tracked?
No. Your changelog loads nothing from anyone else — no trackers, no third-party fonts — and we do not measure your readers. People who subscribe by email confirm their address first and can leave with one click.

Pricing
Priced to be boring.
Most changelog tools hand you a free tier that is really an advert — their badge on your page, a cap on entries, the useful parts held back. Here it's one plan that does everything.
$19 a month, flat everything included
No watermark
Your changelog carries your name and your colour. Nobody advertises on the page your customers read.
No artificial limits
Unlimited entries, drafts and page views. Nothing stops working once you've written enough.
No upsell
Custom domain, subscribers, widget — all in the one price. There is no tier above this one.
