What is changelog software?
Changelog software helps product teams publish, manage, and distribute release notes and product updates. Unlike a shared Google Doc or a static blog post, a dedicated changelog tool connects your releases to your feedback inbox, notifies customers who voted for shipped features, and embeds updates directly in your product via an in-app widget. Done right, a changelog is one of the most powerful retention tools a SaaS team has.
AI Drafting
Write release notes in minutes, not hours
Connect a feature to its linked feedback and Jira/GitHub issues, click Generate — and Kandidly's AI writes a complete, customer-facing release note. Edit and publish in under 5 minutes.
- AI-generated release notes from feature data + linked issues
- Rich text editor for fine-tuning before publishing
- Category tags (Feature, Bug Fix, Improvement, Breaking Change)
- Schedule publish for a future date and time
In-App Widget
Deliver updates where customers already are
Embed Kandidly's changelog widget in your product with one script tag. The bell icon shows unread updates, pulls customers back into your product, and reduces email unsubscribes.
- One-line script tag — no SDK instrumentation
- Unread count badge on the bell icon
- Theme and color customizable to match your brand
- Works in any web app, SaaS product, or admin portal
Distribution
Notify customers across every channel
Publish once, distribute everywhere. Kandidly sends changelog notifications via email digest, in-app widget, public portal, and RSS — no manual cross-posting.
- Automatic email digest to subscribers on publish
- Personalized emails to customers who voted for shipped features
- RSS feed for power users and aggregators
- Public changelog page with permanent URLs for each entry
Analytics
See which releases customers actually care about
Track open rates, click-throughs, and widget engagement for every release. Know which updates resonated and which fell flat — and adjust your communication strategy.
- Open rate tracking per release email
- Widget view and click analytics
- Emoji reactions on changelog entries
- Comment threads for customer questions on each release
