What shipped, written up for the people who asked.
A changelog page, a team post and personal notes.
How it works.
River reads what merged since your last release notes, writes it up in customer words with screenshots, and drafts a note to every customer who asked for a feature.
Start from the last release
Since your last release notes or tag, for customers unless you say it’s for the team.
River sorts what shipped
Only what customers can use today goes in; flagged or undeployed work waits, and betas say beta.
Page, post and notes
New, Improved and Fixed with screenshots, a team post, and a short note to each person who asked.
What you get.
- A What’s new page in New, Improved and Fixed, with live screenshots
- A Sheet tying every line to its pull requests and issues
- A team post and a personal note drafted for each customer who asked

Press + in your Dock, open Playbooks, and press Start. River finds your last release notes and asks who this round is for.
A few things to know.
Will unreleased work end up in the notes?
Anything behind a flag or not yet deployed waits for the next round, betas are labeled beta, and refactors, tests and dependency bumps stay out.
Does River touch our code?
It only reads what merged and what shipped. The page, the post and every email wait on one card for your go-ahead.
What does it cost?
It uses your plan’s AI credit, like everything else in River. It works from the repositories, issue tracker and support tickets you already have.
