Release Binder
Release prep that stays on your Mac.
A native SwiftUI workspace for indie Apple developers and small software teams. Organize App Store, TestFlight, GitHub, privacy, dependency, screenshot, review-note, and submission work in one focused place.
Built for macOS first
Native SwiftUI, with iPadOS and iOS companion workflows for quick review and capture.
Local-first by design
Your release data lives on your device and syncs through your private iCloud account using CloudKit in signed app builds.
Made for shipping software
Track version and build numbers, metadata, screenshots, privacy worksheets, SDK inventories, review notes, and release packets.

Focused release bookkeeping for Apple apps.
Release Binder is built for the practical work around shipping: the checklists, notes, privacy facts, dependency review, and metadata that need to be correct before TestFlight or App Store submission.
No account required
The current app does not require a Release Binder web account or custom backend.
No analytics, ads, or AI features
The TestFlight app does not include third-party analytics, advertising SDKs, tracking SDKs, or AI services.
Not for secrets
Release Binder is not a password manager. Do not store passwords, API keys, private keys, or App Store Connect credentials.
Local-first privacy posture
Local SwiftData storage, iCloud/CloudKit sync in signed app builds, no custom backend, no analytics, no ads, and no secret storage.
