    Launching Buddy

    free • Free
    Updated Sep 2026

    Launching a product is mostly logistics: dozens of directories to submit to, each with its own copy limits and logo requirements, plus the launch-day sequence of posts, emails, and follow-ups. Most makers run this out of a spreadsheet that falls apart by the second launch. Launching Buddy replaces it with a purpose-built tracker — a curated list of places worth submitting to, per-site status so you know what's pending, live, or rejected, reusable product details so you're not rewriting your tagline for the tenth time, and a checklist covering the pre-launch, launch-day, and post-launch steps that are easy to forget when you're refreshing analytics. The practical benefit is coverage: launches usually underperform because the maker ran out of energy after five submissions, not because the product was wrong. Having the remaining work visible and pre-filled makes the long tail of directories realistic to actually finish. It's free, which fits the audience — solo founders and small teams launching on a budget who need organisation more than another paid SaaS subscription.
