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).
Free update radar for sysadmins: check off the software and hardware you run — browsers, hypervisors, firewalls, NAS, line-of-business apps — and get one email the moment an update ships. 727 products, checked daily against official vendor release sources. Plus end-of-life dates and actively exploited CVEs (CISA KEV) per product. No account, no tracking, no ads — and it runs on our own server in Germany. Free.
I run IT for a living, and the thing that kept biting me was never the patching itself — it was finding out an update existed. Vendor release pages, RSS feeds that die quietly, newsletters I stopped reading.
So patchletter does one thing: you tick off the software and hardware you actually run — Proxmox, FortiOS, Synology, Veeam, whatever — and you get one email when something ships. No agent, no scanner, no account. We check 727 products daily against the vendors' own release sources.
Two things I added because I needed them myself: end-of-life dates per product, and a flag when a CVE in your stack shows up on CISA's actively-exploited list.
It's free, ad-free, and there is no tracking — no pixel and no rewritten links in the emails either. Runs on our own server in Germany.
I'd love to know: which tool is missing from the catalogue for you? That's the fastest way to make this useful — suggestions with votes get added first, usually within a week.
