About this tool

A changelog tells users what changed between releases, and the “Keep a Changelog” convention gives it a clear structure — grouped Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed and Security sections under each version. This tool helps you build and maintain a CHANGELOG.md in that format, following semantic versioning, with automated GitHub compare links between versions.

A well-kept changelog written for humans is far more useful than a raw commit log, and a consistent structure makes it easy to scan for what matters — especially the Security and Removed sections. Following the standard also means tools and readers know where to look.

It runs in your browser, so it is instant. Use it to start a changelog, add a new release entry, or reformat an ad-hoc one into the conventional structure.

Frequently asked questions

What format does the changelog follow?
The “Keep a Changelog” convention with grouped Added, Changed, Deprecated, Removed, Fixed and Security sections, using semantic versioning.
Why keep a changelog separate from commit history?
A changelog is written for humans and highlights what matters per release, whereas commit logs are granular and noisy. The two serve different audiences.
Does it link between versions?
Yes. It can generate GitHub compare links between versions so readers can see the full diff for each release.
Is it done locally?
Yes. It runs in your browser and produces Markdown you can copy into CHANGELOG.md.
