GumShip

A Mac app that ships new builds to Gumroad for you. Pick your new file, and GumShip drives your own logged-in Gumroad dashboard: it swaps the download, drafts the release notes, and emails the update to that product's buyers — the whole release chore, in one click.

Updating a product on Gumroad is death by a thousand clicks: log in, find the product, open the content editor, swap the download file, wait for the upload, rewrite the release notes, then go compose a separate email to your customers — every single release. GumShip does all of it, and it does it from your own machine.

What it does

Point GumShip at your new build and it takes over the tedious part:

• Swap the build. GumShip uploads your new file to the right product and re-publishes — waiting for the upload to truly finish before it saves, so you never ship a half-uploaded file.
• Draft the release notes. Your local Claude writes buyer-facing notes from the change; you review and approve before anything posts. No blank page, no "bug fixes and improvements."
• Email the right buyers. GumShip scopes the update email to the people who bought that product — automatically. It will never blast your entire customer list.
• Create new listings, too. Beyond updates, GumShip can create a brand-new product — build, cover, description, and license keys — as an unpublished draft for you to review and publish.

Private by design

You sign into Gumroad once, inside the app, and the session stays on your Mac in a sandboxed browser partition. No password is ever stored. There's no GumShip account, no telemetry, no analytics. The only network calls are to Gumroad — your dashboard — and to your own local Claude.

GumShip is also careful with your live products: it never deletes your old build by default. A new build is added alongside the existing one, and deletion only ever happens when you explicitly ask for it and the new upload is confirmed fully attached.

Why it works the way it does

Gumroad's official API can't upload a product's file or create a product — those are dashboard-only. So instead of pretending otherwise, GumShip embeds your real, logged-in Gumroad dashboard and drives it the way you would, just faster and without the missed steps. Everything the app knows about Gumroad's interface is isolated in one place, so it keeps working as Gumroad evolves.

Who it's for

Indie developers and studios who sell Mac and digital products on Gumroad and are tired of the manual release dance. Anyone shipping frequent updates who wants release notes and buyer emails handled — correctly and privately — every time.

The release checklist you keep forgetting, run for you in one click — on your own Mac.
