Launching on Product Hunt is one of the most effective ways to gain early traction for your product. But a successful launch requires préparation a lot of it. Our Product Hunt Launch Checklist gives you every step in one place, from pre-launch prep to post-launch follow-up, all for free.
Because we've launched on Product Hunt ourselves. We know the stress of forgetting a crucial step the maker comment that should have gone live at 00:01, the social post that never got scheduled, the email that went out two hours late. This checklist ensures you hit every mark. And because the existing tools are either too basic or locked behind paywalls, we made it completely free.
"This checklist saved our launch. We went from 0 to 1,200 upvotes in 24 hours. The tagline generator alone was worth it."

Founder, TaskFlow
"I've launched 4 products on PH and this is hands-down the most complete prep tool. The post-launch follow-up tasks are gold."
Marcus J.
Indie Maker
"Used it for our AI tool launch. The countdown kept us on track and the export feature helped share progress with the whole team."
Priya R.
Product Manager, DataMind
Product Hunt launches are a science. The top products don't get there by luck they follow a proven playbook. A well-prepared launch can generate thousands of upvotes, hundreds of signups, and lasting media coverage. A poorly prepared launch, on the other hand, can fizzle out regardless of how good your product is.
The key is préparation. You need to craft the perfect tagline (60 characters or less), préparé high-quality visuals, write a compelling maker comment, coordinate with your team, schedule social posts, build an email list, and have a post-launch strategy ready. Our checklist covers all 23 essential tasks organized into three phases.
Everything runs in your browser. No data is sent to any server your product ideas stay confidential. The checklist, tagline generator, image upload, and export all work locally. Just open the tool, fill in your product détails, and start checking off tasks.
