launchpad is a Claude Code plugin that helps developers take apps from a local project to production. Ship your vibecoded app with one command, production-ready for real users.
Many developers can build a working app in an afternoon with AI coding tools, but getting that app ready for real users is a different job. It means hosting, payments, analytics, crash reports, security, a privacy policy, app builds and releases, and a feedback loop with users. launchpad is built to close that gap. It runs as a plugin inside Claude Code on your own computer and walks you through the path from a local project to a production launch.
How it works: launchpad reads your project and checks it against a production-readiness checklist, so you can see what is missing before users find it. It then guides setup for the pieces your app needs. That includes hosting, app builds, signing and releases with CI/CD, and payments and paywalls tailored to your app. It also sets up analytics and crash reports, reviews security, helps with a privacy policy, and opens user feedback loops.
Mission Control: all of your apps appear together in the Mission Control local dashboard. There you can see progress for each project and respond to decisions that need your approval. launchpad asks for approval before it spends money or changes DNS, so you stay in control of anything that costs money or affects your live domain.
Pricing: launchpad is a one-time purchase of $49. You pay once, keep it for life, and use it on unlimited projects. There are no monthly fees like those of hosted app builders such as Lovable and Replit.
You own the result: launchpad sets up systems that you own in the end. No data hits launchpad’s servers. Your project, your accounts, and your infrastructure stay on your side.
Who it is for: developers and indie makers who build with Claude Code and want a clear, guided route to launching apps without becoming an expert in every part of production. If you have a local project that works and you want it live for real users, launchpad gives you a checklist, the setup steps, and one dashboard to track everything.
