About LaunchLogs

LaunchLogs turns development activity into posts. You connect GitHub once and choose a repository, and it reads your commits to write a clear summary of the day's progress that you can use for social posts or emails. With one click it generates polished updates for X, LinkedIn or a public maker profile, so people who build in public do not have to face a blank page.

It also keeps a visible track record with daily logs, streak calendars and public profiles, which is meant to show consistency and build trust with an audience. The site lists solo software makers, indie hackers, developers with several side projects and makers looking for momentum as target users, and says it keeps tabs on multiple repositories so updates continue even when you forget to post.

LaunchLogs is a hosted service that you can start for free without a credit card, and setup is described as connecting GitHub once and picking a repository. Its site includes an FAQ, a who-it-is-for section, terms, a privacy policy and a data processing agreement.
