What Shiplog does

Two jobs. One maker's cockpit.

Task management

Work that stays focused on shipping.

Shiplog's board is built around one question: what ships next? Backlog, in-progress, done — organized around your actual release cadence, not enterprise sprint ceremonies.

  • Keyboard-first task entry — capture ideas without breaking flow
  • Labels, deadlines, and priority — nothing more, nothing less
  • Weekly shipping digest auto-generated from your done column

Why Shiplog

Linear is built for engineering teams. Notion is built for everyone. Shiplog is built for you.

Enterprise PMs get Jira. Startup PMs get Linear. Solo founders got nothing that actually fit. Shiplog is the tool that closes that gap — task management and public changelog publishing, designed for the way indie builders actually work.

Questions

What builders ask us.

How is Shiplog different from Linear or Notion?

Linear is an excellent tool — for engineering teams with sprints, cycles, and roadmaps. Notion is a blank canvas. Neither was designed for the indie builder who ships solo and wants to tell their audience about it. Shiplog focuses on one thing: helping you track what you're building AND publish it as a changelog. No cruft, no enterprise features you'll never use.

What exactly is the changelog feature?

When you mark tasks as shipped, Shiplog auto-drafts a changelog entry from your done column. You edit it (or don't), then publish. Your readers get a clean public page at your Shiplog subdomain, and optional email notifications. Think of it as a product update blog that writes its own first draft from your actual work.

Can I use Shiplog for a small team (not just solo)?

Yes — Shiplog works well for teams of 1–5. The Free plan is for individuals; the Pro plan supports multiple workspaces and is priced per user (not per seat tier), so a small team stays affordable. We're intentionally not building for 50-person engineering orgs.

Is my data exportable?

Yes. Your tasks export as CSV, and your changelog exports as Markdown or JSON. Your data is yours. We don't hold it hostage.

What happens when I hit 100 subscribers on the Free plan?

You'll get a prompt to upgrade to Pro. We won't silently stop sending emails — we'll warn you first and give you time to decide. Existing subscribers are never affected mid-cycle.

Do you offer annual pricing?

Yes — annual Pro is $99/year (save $45 vs. monthly). Available at checkout. We also offer a 14-day free trial on Pro, no credit card required.
