You ship every week.
Your users should know about it.
At a startup, everyone wears five hats. Writing changelogs isn't one anyone wants to wear. Worknotes connects to Linear, generates user-facing updates from your completed tickets, and distributes them via changelog, email, and in-app widgets. The writing is automated. You just review and publish.
The startup communication problem
You're shipping fast. Maybe weekly. Maybe daily. But your users think nothing has changed because nobody wrote the update. Sound familiar?
No time to write
After building, testing, and deploying, the last thing anyone wants to do is write a changelog entry. So nobody does. Features ship silently. Users discover them months later, or never.
Tools cost too much
Beamer starts at $49/month. Canny at $79. LaunchNotes at $249. For a startup burning runway, spending $100+/month on a changelog tool doesn't make the cut. Worknotes is $29/month flat.
Features, not suites
You don't need feedback boards, roadmaps, surveys, and a help center. You need to tell users what you shipped. Worknotes does that one thing. No feature tax for tools you won't use.
How it works
Connect Linear
One-click integration. Worknotes reads your completed tickets and understands what you shipped.
AI writes the update
Select tickets from your sprint. AI generates user-facing changelog entries from the ticket context. Technical descriptions become clear, readable updates.
Review and publish
Edit if you want. Then publish to your branded changelog page, send an email campaign to your contacts, and show an in-app banner or modal. One workflow, three channels.
Everything at $29/month
No per-seat pricing. No tracked-user limits. No feature gating. Your whole team gets access to everything. See full pricing details →
