The second you paste a URL.

It pulls your branding, then maps every directory, subreddit and community, and drafts four launch posts. All drafts. Nothing is posted.

Four drafts, before you sign up

Product Hunt
tagline, first comment, the maker story
Show HN
plain, technical, no marketing voice
r/SideProject
written to the subreddit's rules
Launch tweet
one hook, room for a link

Readable with no account. Approve everything from your phone.

74 directories and communities, mapped.

No tiers, no locked rows: the same list your free map is built from. Ranked for your product.

My own launch, logged

  • 17 submitted (by me, through the companion)
  • 94 need a human: an account only you can create
  • 12 failed
  • 17 skipped, paid

Nothing here is done for you behind your back. The map tells you exactly which forms need you, and pre-fills them.

Dock the companion.

Two halves. The Chrome extension pre-fills every directory form in your own browser: dropdowns, rich text, the multi-step ones. You solve the captcha and press submit, from your own login. That's the difference from the bots that get accounts banned.

One app, your phone

  • Approve every draft with a tap
  • Post your own-feed posts from the phone (Smart Post)
  • Comments go out through the extension, in your session
  • Nothing goes out unreviewed

It writes in your voice, not AI voice.

Before

It's not just a directory tool, it's your launch partner, mapping 74 communities in seconds and drafting posts that resonate with your unique journey.

What gave it away negative parallelism: 'not just X, it's Y' — the single most reliable AI tell

After

It maps 74 communities in seconds and drafts a post for each one, in that community's voice.

Edit by chatting

  • "Make the r/SaaS one less salesy."
  • "List my drafts."
  • "Rewrite the Show HN, shorter."

The Hive rewrites in place. No forms. Every draft is humanize-checked before you see it.

Content that earns you standing before launch day.

The content machine

  • A trend search for your niche across social and the web, from the last week
  • Text posts or video posts where you are the star, drafted from a trend, any link (a competitor page, a YouTube video, a TikTok) or your own blog
  • Warm-up posts that earn karma in each community before you ask for anything
  • A script first; a video credit is spent only on one you approve

Also in the free tier

  • Post Studio (posts and videos)
  • Demo Builder (a chaptered demo from a screen recording, plus feature clips)
  • A hosted waitlist page at launchengine.app/w/your-product
  • The public directory at launchengine.app/directory
  • Launch day planned hour by hour

29 hours returned: 94×12 + 17×20 + 11×25 min. My own logged launch, arithmetic, not a testimonial.

This is the Hive.

Map my launch.

The Hive read all 74 directories and communities. It knows each one's voice, drafts every post, plans your day and rewrites by chat. Posts wait for your tap; on Creator you can switch on automatic comments, a few a day, up to limits you set. Nothing is hidden: every draft is in your Outbox to read and edit.

Creator · £29/mo — everything in Free, plus:

  • The commenter: comments drafted daily for your communities, posted through the extension in your session
  • Comment-to-DM: when a thread is warm, a direct message you approve
  • Make a week of content in one sitting; it is released to your phone day by day
  • New communities found for you, ongoing
  • Buying-intent mode: aimed at the threads AI search reads, so you show up where AI looks
  • Find influencers in your niche: a shortlist with a suggested angle each, never auto-contacted
  • Agency use: add a client's brand and the Hive drafts in their voice, not yours
  • Teams: invite 2 teammates; each comments from their own accounts, with their own daily drafts
  • Monthly video credits

Questions

What does LaunchEngine do?

It maps every place your launch should go — subreddits, Facebook and LinkedIn groups, Product Hunt, Show HN, X and dozens of directories and communities — and writes the drafts. Then the companion fills in each form, so you just review and submit.

Does it post for me?

Without Creator, nothing goes out until you post it yourself. With Creator — or during a Commenter trial — you can switch on automatic comments for each platform: your companion then posts a few a day for you, in your own browser with your own accounts, up to daily limits you set. It starts switched off, and posts to your own feed always wait for your tap.

What's the Posting Companion?

A Chrome extension on your laptop. It uses the accounts you're already logged into and fills in comments and directory forms. It posts comments — and, if you turn on DM follow-ups, Reddit messages. It never posts to your feed.

What does it cost?

Free (£0): the plan, the communities, every draft. Creator (£29/mo): daily comments for Reddit, LinkedIn and Facebook, 15 video credits a month, deeper community search, up to 3 launch products and 2 teammates.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. Add it to your home screen: see what's ready, get a push when a post is ready, and post with a tap. The companion itself needs a laptop with Chrome.

How do I cancel Creator?

Open Billing — Manage Billing in your account menu on a laptop, or Billing & subscription in the phone app's settings — and choose Manage or cancel Creator. Stripe shows exactly when it ends before you confirm. After that your account goes back to Free, and your map and drafts stay.
