What is release notes software?
Release notes software helps product teams write, manage, and distribute product update communications to customers. Modern release notes tools go beyond a static changelog page — they connect to your issue tracker (Jira, GitHub, Linear), use AI to draft the customer-facing copy, distribute updates across email and in-app channels, and notify specific customers who asked for shipped features. Kandidly's release notes software is fully integrated with your product management workflow — from feature planning to customer communication.
AI Drafting
Claude writes your release notes — you just review
Connect a shipped feature to its Jira/GitHub issues and customer feedback, click Generate, and Kandidly's AI writes a complete, readable, customer-facing release note. Edit, approve, publish.
- One-click AI generation from feature + issue data
- Customer-friendly language — not engineering jargon
- Category tags: Feature, Improvement, Bug Fix, Breaking Change
- Tone customization: formal, friendly, technical
Distribution
Reach customers on every channel at once
Publish once — Kandidly distributes your release note via email digest, in-app widget, public changelog page, and RSS. No manual cross-posting, no coordination across teams.
- Email digest to all subscribers on publish
- Personalized emails to customers who requested the feature

Integration
Connected to your issue tracker and customer data
Kandidly pulls release context directly from Jira, GitHub, and Linear. When a PR is merged or an issue is closed, Kandidly can automatically draft a release note and queue it for review.
- GitHub Release → auto-draft release note
- Linear Done → trigger changelog draft
- Jira ticket close → linked to Kandidly feature
- Customer MRR and request data linked to each release

Track open rates, click-throughs, emoji reactions, and comments for every release. Know which updates resonated so you can write more of what customers want to hear.
- Email open and click tracking per release
- Emoji reactions from in-app widget
