Shiplog

A public changelog that ships itself.

Connect your GitHub repo. Every week, shiplog turns your merged pull requests into a customer-facing entry, emails it to you to review, and publishes it to your public changelog page.

Start 14-day free trial$19/month after trial. Cancel anytime.

No claims about conversion lift or retention — shiplog does one specific thing well. Below is a real entry it drafted.

This is a real, unedited draft.

Shiplog drafted it on September 30, 2026 from the 17 pull requests merged into usememos/memos, a public open-source project, in the week of September 14, 2026. We have no connection to Memos; we used its public history because it is real. On your plan, each draft waits 48 hours for you to edit, publish or hold it, and publishes automatically if you do nothing.

Week of September 14, 2026

This week's highlights include exporting and importing your memos, a new Cloudflare D1 storage option, and several editor and search improvements.

New

  • Export and import your memos as an archive

    You can now export your memos and attachments as a single Memo Archive file, and import it back into the same or a newer Memos instance. This makes it easy to back up your notes or move them between servers.

  • Highlighted search matches in memo content

    When you search from the sidebar, matching text is now highlighted directly in your memos, so you can quickly spot where your search terms appear without manually scanning long notes.

Improved

  • Smarter tag autocomplete while writing

    Tag suggestions now appear as soon as you type '#', including inside more contexts, and correctly suggest nested tags like completing '#Mem' into '#software/hosted/Memos'. Autocomplete is only suppressed right after a heading marker.

  • Dark mode status bar on Android

    When Memos is installed as a PWA on Android, the status bar now switches to a dark color automatically when dark mode is enabled, instead of staying white.

Fixed

  • Numbered task lists now toggle correctly

    Clicking the checkbox on a numbered task list item now correctly checks or unchecks it, matching the behavior already available for bulk task actions.

  • Phone and text links now work in notes

    Markdown links using tel: and sms: (for example, links to call or text a phone number) now render as clickable links instead of losing their destination.

Weekly drafts, one-click publish

Every Monday shiplog reads the pull requests merged that week, drafts a customer-facing entry and emails you a review link. Edit it, publish it, or hold it. If you do nothing, it publishes 48 hours after it was drafted.

A public page with an RSS feed

Published entries appear newest first on a hosted changelog page under your product's name, with an RSS feed your users can follow. The page is open to search engines.

Written from what actually merged

Each item comes from a merged pull request's title, description and labels. Changes with no customer-facing purpose can be left out, and a week with no merges gets a short "nothing merged" draft instead of invented work.

Questions

What does shiplog need access to?

A fine-grained GitHub token scoped to the one repository you ship from, with read-only access to pull requests, plus that repository's owner and name. Shiplog checks the token can read the repository when you save it, stores it encrypted, and only reads merged pull requests; it cannot write to your code.

How does it decide what's new vs improved vs fixed?

Shiplog reads each PR's title, body, and labels. Labels like feature, bug, enhancement are strong hints; titles and bodies are the deciding signal. A PR can also land in no section if its purpose isn't customer-facing.

Can I edit a draft before it publishes?

Yes. Every weekly draft has a 48-hour review window. You can rewrite any entry, drop ones that aren't user-facing, or hold the whole week. If you don't act, the draft publishes automatically within an hour after the 48 hours end.

What if nothing was merged that week?

You get an honest "no merges this week" draft, which you can publish or skip. Shiplog never invents work that didn't happen.

Does this replace Canny, Productboard, or FeatureBase?

No. Those tools focus on collecting user feedback and managing an internal roadmap. Shiplog focuses on telling your users what you already shipped. Different job. They can coexist.

What happens if I cancel?

Cancel from the setup page you land on after checkout, or from the review link in any weekly draft email. Drafting and the weekly email stop at the end of the period you've paid for, or at the end of the free trial with no charge if you cancel during it. Your published changelog and its history stay online.

What's your refund policy?

Two refund paths after the 14-day free trial. (1) If no weekly draft was sent in a billing period, that period is refunded automatically once it ends; you don't need to ask. (2) If our records show none of the period's drafts were opened or clicked, that period is refundable within 30 days of the period ending, from the Plan and billing section of your setup page or of any weekly draft's review page. Anything outside those two conditions — email shiplog@forage.bot and we'll work it out.
