Hey Product Hunt 👋 We are the maker of ShipCat. Quick story: We wanted to ship a native Mac app, and 80% of the work had nothing to do with my idea. Licensing, payments, updates, onboarding, settings, feedback, notarization, a landing page. The same plumbing, every time. So ShipCat is that plumbing, done, as a working Mac app with nothing in it yet. You clone it, tell the AI agent what app you want, and it turns the shell into yours. What's already there: License keys & payments (Polar), trial/paid/freemium policies Sparkle updates with a signed appcast Onboarding, settings, feedback, What's New AI built in (your proxy or the user's own key) A landing page with pricing, privacy and terms One command to release: archive, sign, notarize, staple, publish Proof it works: I built GotEmail (a native mail client) on it. From empty repo to a notarized 1.0 on a live site one day, and it sold 120+ copies on day one. Who it's for: solo devs and small teams who'd rather spend their weekend on the product than on Sparkle's EdDSA keys. I'll be around all day. Tell me what you'd want in the box, and what you think is missing. 🐱
