Launch-ready GitHub assets, generated from your code.
Point Git Launcher at your project and get a polished README, screenshots, an architecture diagram, a social preview image, and per-platform launch posts — without your code ever leaving your machine.

It's launch day, and the README is still a placeholder.
A good GitHub launch needs a real README, screenshots at every size, an architecture diagram, a social preview card, and a different post for every community — built by hand, that's the whole day gone.
Writing the README and re-screenshotting at three sizes is busywork you do every release.
Each community — Reddit, HN, Product Hunt, X, Dev.to — wants its own framing and tone.
Cloud screenshot and diagram tools mean uploading an unreleased product to someone else's server.
Everything a launch needs, from one read of your repo
A real README
A polished, structured README written from your actual codebase — not a template you still have to fill in.
Screenshots at every size
Desktop, tablet, and mobile captures of your product, taken locally with a private Chromium — never your everyday browser.
Architecture diagrams
Mermaid diagrams of how your system fits together, generated from the structure of your code.
A 1200×630 social card
The social preview image that makes your repo and launch posts look intentional when shared.
Per-platform launch posts
Tailored posts for Reddit, Hacker News, Twitter/X, Product Hunt, and Dev.to — each in the right voice for that audience.
Local-only, no API keys
Reads your files and screenshots local pages only — nothing is sent anywhere. No SaaS, no accounts, no keys.
Install, start, review
Install
Download git-launcher.zip from your Git Launcher page and unzip it into your project as a folder named .git-launcher-plugin, then run the initializer. The last line installs the private screenshot browser (about two minutes, one time). In Terminal, opened in your project folder, paste the commands below and press Enter — the last line runs the initializer that sets everything up.
unzip git-launcher.zip -d .git-launcher-plugin
bash .git-launcher-plugin/gl-init.sh
cd .git-launcher-plugin && npm install && npx playwright install chromiumStart
Open the project in your AI tool and say “start git-launcher,” then tell it what you're launching.
start git-launcherReview
It reads your codebase and writes everything into a git-launch/ folder — README, screenshots, diagram, social card, and posts. Review before you post; nothing is published for you. Every command is listed in the README included in your download.

Frequently asked questions
Does my code leave my machine?
No. Git Launcher reads your files and screenshots local pages only. Nothing is uploaded — no SaaS, no accounts, no API keys.
What's the Playwright Chromium download?
An official Microsoft tool that downloads a private ~130 MB copy of the open-source Chromium, used only for taking screenshots. It's free and doesn't touch your everyday browser. One-time, ~2 minutes.
What does Free include?
Up to 5 projects, fully: README, screenshots, architecture diagrams, social preview, and per-platform launch posts.
What do I get with Pro?
The same features as Free — the only difference is unlimited projects instead of 5. Pro is $12.99/year, cancel anytime, no refunds.
Which tools does it work in?
Claude (Desktop, Cowork, VS Code), Cursor, and Codex — any AI agent with chat that reads AGENTS.md.
Is there support, and can I try it first?
It's self-serve: the README and the docs included in your download cover install, every command, and troubleshooting. And you get 5 full projects free, so you can decide whether it's useful before upgrading to Pro.
One pipeline from build to launch
Each Maker module is an AI harness: a fixed expert method your AI tool executes against your project's real evidence — so every step of the pipeline (capture → case study → demo → launch → post → website) ships consistent, graded output instead of generic AI copy.
