Minimal task manager for developers who hate bloat

Three steps from built to discovered

Great apps fail when nobody knows they exist. ShipWave bridges the gap between building and being found.

1

Describe your app

Tell ShipWave what your app does, who it helps, and what problem it solves. This becomes your App Brain — the context that powers everything.

2

Get a launch plan

ShipWave generates a full campaign: platform-specific posts for X, LinkedIn, Reddit, Product Hunt, and more. Each one tailored to the channel.

3

Distribute on autopilot

Set your schedule and let ShipWave post automatically. Track engagement, refine messaging, and keep your app visible while you keep building.

Everything you need to get discovered

Built for developers who'd rather ship code than write marketing copy.

AI Campaign Brain

Turn your app context into launch angles, content pillars, hooks, and channel-specific post drafts — all generated from a single description.

Smart Scheduling

Map your launch week, build-up posts, and evergreen distribution loops. ShipWave adapts timing to maximize reach on every platform.

Community Targeting

Coordinate posts across Reddit, Product Hunt, Indie Hackers, Hacker News, LinkedIn, and X without losing your narrative thread.

Authentic Voice

No robotic templates. ShipWave writes in a natural, founder-authentic voice that resonates with each community's culture and norms.

Engagement Analytics

Track what's working across every channel. See impressions, engagement rates, and discover which angles drive the most traffic to your app.

Community-Aware Posting

ShipWave writes posts as genuine contributions, not promotions. Each post is crafted to respect community norms and reduce spam risk across every platform.

Your app. Distributed automatically.

ShipWave writes and schedules every post while you focus on building. Here's what AI-generated distribution looks like.

TaskForge X / Twitter
Indie developers
AI generated

Every dev tool promises "simplicity" and then hits you with 47 settings screens. I built TaskForge because my todo list shouldn't need an onboarding flow.

✓ Ready to post 214 chars
MealPilot LinkedIn
Busy professionals
AI generated

I tracked my meal prep time for a month. Average: 6 hours per week on deciding what to eat. So I built MealPilot to give me back those hours.

✓ Ready to post 187 chars
BudgetStack Reddit
Personal finance
AI generated

Most budgeting apps are built for people who already understand budgeting. I built BudgetStack for people who just want to stop overdrafting.

Go beyond autopilot.
Get real creators promoting your app.

ShipWave connects app developers with UGC creators who make authentic content about your product. Post a campaign, get real videos and posts, pay per verified view.

For Developers

Launch your app with creators

Post a campaign with your budget and brief. Creators apply, make content about your app, and you only pay for verified views.

  • Post a campaign with your budget and CPV rate
  • Creators apply and submit content
  • Pay only for verified, real views

For Creators

Get paid to promote apps you love

Browse campaigns from indie developers, create authentic content on YouTube, and earn money based on the views you drive.

  • Browse open campaigns and apply
  • Create and submit your content
  • Earn per verified view via Stripe

Your budget is protected. Every view is verified.

Developers only pay for real engagement. Creators get paid fairly. ShipWave verifies every view through multiple checks before any money moves.

72-Hour Cooling Period

Views aren't counted until 72 hours after submission, giving YouTube time to filter out bots and artificial traffic.

Multi-Check Verification

Each clip is verified at least 3 times over multiple days. A single snapshot is never enough to approve a payout.

Fraud Scoring

Every check runs velocity spike detection, engagement analysis, and watch time estimates. Suspicious clips are flagged automatically.

Stripe-Powered Payouts

Creators get paid through Stripe Connect. Payouts only release after views pass all verification checks.

Available to all ShipWave users. YouTube campaigns live now.

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about ShipWave.

Not at all. ShipWave is built specifically for developers who are great at building but don't have time for marketing. You describe your app in plain language and ShipWave handles the strategy, the writing, and the posting.
ShipWave generates content for X/Twitter, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Threads, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, and Product Hunt. Direct auto-posting is available for X, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Threads, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. For community platforms like Product Hunt, ShipWave prepares ready-to-post content with guidance.
ShipWave is designed to minimize that risk. Posts are written as genuine, value-adding contributions — not promotional blasts. Each draft is tailored to the platform's culture and norms. That said, community moderation varies, so we also provide posting guidance to help you share content the right way.
