Receive your apps’ review and TestFlight status on Slack
Forget about 'Is the app live already?' — We notify your team of app and build status updates directly on Slack. No more checking the App Store Connect website or waiting for emails.
In 2020 I was leading an iOS project involving multiple teams in a fast-paced startup environment, which meant lots of bite-sized releases. But with every app release, we faced these challenges:
- "Is the app live yet?" questions from the project manager and other peers.
- Uncertainty about when to test on TestFlight for our QA team.
- Marketing struggling to track app version releases for SEO impact.
- Delayed reactions to app rejections.
To solve these, I created a simple script that posted real-time updates to Slack about the status of the app. It worked great, and I open-sourced it. Today I'm launching the SaaS version, Statused, supporting multiple accounts and channels. The advantage of the SaaS over using the open source version is that it's now super easy to manage multiple apps, and you don't need to waste time setting up and maintaining your own server infrastructure to run it on your own.
Your support can help add Google Play, new channels, and insightful metrics. I'd love to hear any and every feedback you may have! 🚀

Who hunted Statused?
Statused was hunted by Roger Oba. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.
