This product was not featured by Product Hunt yet. It will not be visible on their landing page and won't be ranked (cannot win product of the day regardless of upvotes).
If you release music or games, you end up with codes. A pile, pasted into an email from your label or your distributor. You're now supposed to hand them out to fans, reviewers and curators without giving the same one to two people or losing track of which ones worked. This is the boring infrastructure for that. Put the codes in, share one link, and it handles the rest: one code per person, captcha so bots don't drain the batch, a record of claimed codes, and a way to report none working codes.
Hi, I'm Mattias. I've been making music my entire life, and had some success in select circles, but I also find it extremely difficult to market my music and see it as "A Product".
The constant spreading of rows of codes screenshotted from an excel document, keeping an eye on where the first 10 codes were posted so I can post the following 10 in another sub, which has been claimed... It's beyond what I view as the joyful part of finishing up and setting a music project free into the world.
I've tried quite a few services so solve this problem, but I haven't really found one that scratches my itch. Now I'm building one myself, the way I feel it should work and it's 100% free.
Artist/label page with beautiful social sharing looks
Tasters/media players from Bandcamp/Youtube on album page
Extremely easy code import
Robust sharing motor that make sure everyone gets one working code
Address book of reviewers, bloggers, label managers etc
Earmark codes for reviewers, bloggers, label managers and they get a personalized landing page
Add links to get a larger following on Bandcamp, Youtube etc
Add tips links to get a little monetary encouragement from your listeners
Drip release codes - a certain amount of codes each day, when todays codes are gone the listener can sign up to get a notification when new codes are available
Should all codes run out the listener can request new codes
Labels can manage as many artists as they wish (and as many albums as they want)
Filtering on label profile page on artists, newest/oldest
...and more!
I would love it if you would give it a shot, and if there's anything you miss, wish for, or want improved I'll be listening like a dachshund on a fox hunt! 💐

Who hunted Launcher Codes?
Launcher Codes was hunted by Mattias Dahl. 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.
