How does Pushpen work?

Pushpen installs a webhook on your GitHub repository. Every time you push code, it reads the diff, uses AI to write updated documentation, and opens a pull request for your review.

Does Pushpen write directly to my repository?

No. Pushpen always opens a pull request for you to review and merge. It never commits directly to your codebase without your approval.

What types of documentation does Pushpen generate?

Pushpen generates four types: README files, human-readable changelogs, API documentation from your routes and types, and onboarding guides explaining how the codebase works.

How much does Pushpen cost?

Pushpen has a free plan for 1 repository with 5 free doc generations. Paid plans start at $19 per month for the Starter plan.

Does Pushpen work with private GitHub repositories?

Yes. Pushpen works with both public and private GitHub repositories using GitHub OAuth authentication.

Documentation

Documentation that stays current automatically.

Every git push triggers Pushpen to read your diff, understand what changed, and open a pull request with an updated README, changelog, API documentation, and onboarding guide.

Always in control

You review. You approve. You merge.

Pushpen never writes directly to your codebase. Every update arrives as a pull request, so your team remains in control of every change that reaches the repository.

Wall of feedback

Built for developers who ship.

The pull request it opened after my first push was genuinely good. I was impressed by the quality.

Early Access User, Solo Developer

Connected it in five minutes and it works. Finally something that keeps my README accurate.

Beta User, Startup Engineer

The changelog generation alone saves me thirty minutes every release. Worth the subscription.

Solo Developer, Developer Tools

The free README tool is the real signal here. People arrive with a problem already in hand.

Community Feedback, r/micro_saas

I ship solo. Documentation was always the last thing I would get to. Now it happens automatically.

Solo Founder, Indie SaaS

Time from push to pull request is under a minute. That is not something you build yourself easily.

The team

Built for engineering teams that value their time.

Hi, I am David.

While shipping code daily, I spent roughly two hours each week maintaining READMEs, changelogs, and API documentation. Existing tools required pasting code and remembering to run them. I built Pushpen to remove that decision entirely: push code, and documentation follows.

Pushpen is built and maintained with a focus on reliability and developer trust. For questions, you can reach me directly.
