LaunchBuddy: App Planner7.1.0 - App Store

Ship and grow your iOS apps - without the wrong tools.

LaunchBuddy is the release manager built for indie iOS developers. Plan each version, write release notes, stay on top of App Store Connect work, and keep ASO and analytics in the loop from first build to ship day.

BUILT FOR INDIE DEVELOPERS

Apps Dashboard
Every app you ship, one place. Track status, platforms, store links, and the work that still blocks release.

Release Planning
Create a release, set a target date, and break down what has to happen before review. Changelogs and checklists live with the version - not in a generic productivity app.

Release Notes & Changelog
Draft what’s new as you build. Keep a clean history for App Store submissions and your users.

App Store Connect Ready
Stay oriented around submission, metadata, and the steps that matter for indie releases.

ASO & Growth Context
Keep keywords, positioning, and growth work next to the release you’re actually shipping.

GENEROUS FREE TIER
Use LaunchBuddy with up to 2 apps, free forever. No time limits on the basics.

UPGRADE TO PRO
- Unlimited apps
- Custom checklists for every release
- Dashboard filters
- Priority support and early access

Whether you’re preparing a first App Store submission or shipping updates across a portfolio, LaunchBuddy keeps release work focused on shipping and growing.

AVAILABLE ON MAC
