How it works.

River fills in your listing in your own Product Hunt account, makes the gallery from real screenshots of your product, writes each supporter a personal note and drafts replies on launch day.

  1. Pick the day and the offer

    A clear weekday a week or more out, what’s new and any launch offer.

  2. River fills in the listing

    Tagline, description, tags, pricing, gallery and your maker comment, set for 12:01 am PT.

  3. Your people, invited to try it

    Personal notes asking customers and friends to try it and comment honestly.

What you get.

  • A complete listing in your Product Hunt account, stopped at Schedule
  • Gallery images made from screenshots of your product at work
  • A Supporters Sheet with a note for each, and replies drafted on launch day

Start in three steps.

    Get River

  2. River’s first question, “What’s your role?”, with Founder chosen

    Sign up as a founder

    When River asks your role, choose Founder.

  3. Start “Launch on Product Hunt”

    Press + in your Dock, open Playbooks, and press Start. River finds your demo and screenshots first, then asks about the day and the offer.

A few things to know.

Will it ask people to upvote?

Never. Asking for upvotes breaks Product Hunt’s one firm rule, so every note invites people to try what’s new and leave an honest comment.

Does River launch it for me?

No. You press Schedule yourself, and the notes to supporters go out only after your go-ahead.

What does it cost?

It uses your plan’s AI credit, like everything else in River. No demo video yet? The card offers to make one with River.
