Drafts from pull requests
Label a pull request release-note and its description arrives as a draft, screenshots included.
Patchwell turns one release note into an in-app “What's new” panel, a public changelog, an email digest and a Slack post, then shows you who read it.

Release day, before and after
Fourteen loose ends from one release at a team of eight. Flip the switch: the duplicates merge, the copy-pasting disappears, and three things are left that need a person.
What's in the box
Everything a product team needs to write a release note once and get it read, on every plan unless it says otherwise.
Write once, preview four times
Markdown on the left; the widget, page, email and Slack versions side by side on the right.
Publish on deploy
An entry can wait for your deploy webhook and go live with the release, not at a guessed time.
Segments
Show the SSO change to Business accounts only, and the iOS fix only to people on iOS.
Slack, threaded
Each entry posts to a channel you pick. Questions in the thread land in the entry's comments.
API and webhooks
Create and publish from CI. Signed webhooks fire on every read, reaction and reply.
Roles and SSO
Writers draft, editors approve, owners publish. SAML single sign-on on Business.
Your own domain

Our 2025, one square a day
Every deploy of Patchwell last year. Brighter means busier; ringed squares are the releases that got a changelog entry of their own.
