What Updated.dev is
Updated.dev is a tool that converts Git commits into release notes. Writing changelogs by hand is the pain it targets: you connect your repositories, select the commit logs that belong to a release, associate them with a new or existing note, and the tool formats the result automatically. AI can generate a draft to work from, which removes the blank-page problem. Multiple repositories can be managed in one place, and email notifications tell team members and users when notes go out. The Pro version adds a custom domain for branding. There is a free version with basic functions, and Pro costs $34 per month billed annually with a discount for 12 months.
What you can do with it
- Convert commit logs into formatted release notes
- Pick exactly which commits belong to a release
- Generate an AI draft and edit it
- Manage notes across multiple repositories
- Publish a public release page with email notifications
Who it is for
- Developer teams generating commits every day
- Product teams that must tell users what changed
- Operations staff who own release communication
- Open-source maintainers coordinating many contributors
What to watch out for
The free version is basic, and features such as a custom domain sit on the paid plan, so check which tier covers what you need. Output quality tracks your commit messages closely, since vague commits produce vague notes. AI drafts are a starting point, not a final customer-facing text, so plan editing time. The tool also assumes a Git-based workflow, so teams using other version control will not get value from it. Processing speed depends on file size and network conditions, so retry later if a task stalls during peak hours.
