From git push to published release notes — zero manual work. ReleasePad watches your GitHub repo, uses AI to turn commits into user-friendly changelogs, and serves them inside your app. Ship code, not docs. You ship updates constantly but your users have no idea. ReleasePad uses AI to turn every code change into polished release notes — published automatically to a public changelog page and in-app widget. Connects to GitHub in one click. No manual writing, ever.
