Bellnote
Bellnote is a changelog automation platform that turns every merged pull request into a ready-to-publish update. After a one-time GitHub integration, it monitors selected repositories; whenever a merge occurs, Bellnote generates a draft post written in your product's own voice — learned from previous posts and edits. A non-technical team member can approve the draft in under 30 seconds and publish it across all channels with a single click. The platform includes an in-app widget (under 5 KB gzipped, cookie-free), a hosted public changelog page, email newsletter delivery, and Slack integration, making product updates visible everywhere your users are. Bellnote offers transparent, flat pricing that is grandfathered forever — $9 for Starter and $19 for Pro — with no per-user charges, MAU meters, or traffic-based repricing. Even the free plan includes the widget and supports one project with up to 25 entries.

Problem solved
Product teams often neglect changelogs because writing and distributing them is manual, time-consuming, and easily deprioritized. Bellnote automates the entire process: it watches code repositories, drafts on-brand summaries from merged pull requests, and publishes to all user-facing touchpoints, ensuring that every shipped feature is communicated without developer effort or discipline required.
