Free launch checklist that adapts to Lovable, v0, Bolt, Next.js, WordPress, and more.
Pick your stack and get a filtered list of exactly what to check before you ship. Not a generic checklist. Not a generic list where most of it does not apply. Every item explains why it matters, what to do, and how to verify. Track progress across devices, get milestone toasts at 25 / 50 / 75 / 100 percent, download a launch report at the end.
Every builder platform that matters.
Pick your stack once, get a checklist filtered to only what applies. Stack-specific items (Vercel preview environments, Shopify checkout tests, WordPress hardening, mobile crash reporting) only appear for the stacks that need them.
The groups every launch runs into.
Six categories, dozens of items, filtered by your stack. Here is the shape of the checklist for a typical launch.
- Custom domain live on the right host
- SSL certificate active and auto-renewing
- www and apex redirect to a single canonical URL
- Favicon and Apple touch icon set
- Privacy policy live and linked in the footer
- Terms of service live and linked
- GDPR-compliant cookie banner (declines by default in EU)
- Reachable contact email or support form
- Live payment provider keys swapped in
- Webhook signature verification tested end-to-end
- Real end-to-end test purchase completed
- Refund flow tested
- Error monitoring (Sentry / Highlight / Bugsnag) in prod with alerts
- Uptime monitoring (Better Uptime / Checkly) pinging every minute
- Status page (optional, but easy)
- Crash reporting (Sentry / Firebase Crashlytics) proven with a force-crash
- App Store screenshots at every required device size
- Play Store internal test track submitted
- Deep link URLs registered and tested
- Rollback plan (Vercel instant rollback, migration downgrade script)
- Post-mortem template ready in Notion / Linear
- Announcement copy staged for Product Hunt / Indie Hackers / X / LinkedIn
- Founder is not on a flight during launch
Why every item has three panels.
Every item expands into three short panels, so a founder without a security or DevOps background can act on it without a Google detour.
- Why it matters. A one-sentence business or user impact statement. “Users trust a real domain, not myproject.vercel.app.”
- What to do. The specific action, named tools included. “Buy the domain from Namecheap / Cloudflare Registrar / Porkbun, point A or CNAME at your host, verify in host settings.”
- How to verify. A concrete verification step you can perform yourself. “dnschecker.org should show your record propagated globally. Host dashboard should say verified.”
A few stack-specific items you probably do not know about.
Five steps.

Common questions.
Which stacks does the free launch checklist support?
Lovable, Bolt.new, Replit Agent, v0 (Vercel), Next.js custom, React Native / Expo, Flutter, WordPress, Shopify, Webflow, or Custom / Other. Each stack gets a filtered list plus stack-specific items (Vercel preview envs for v0 and Next.js, crash reporting for mobile, WP-Hardening plugin for WordPress, Shopify checkout tests for Shopify, and so on).
How is this different from a generic launch blog post?
Generic launch posts assume you already know what to do and give you the words. This tool asks what you use, filters out anything irrelevant, and gives you the specific actions for your stack with why they matter, what to do, and how to verify each item is actually done. You are not left with a checklist of items you cannot check off.
Can I track my progress?
Yes. Every item has a checkbox and, when you are signed in, optional per-item notes and a proof URL. Progress persists across devices. Come back tomorrow, pick up where you left off.
What are the milestone rewards?
25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% each trigger a toast: Warmed up, Halfway, Almost there, Launch-ready. Hit 100% and get confetti plus a shareable badge card (1200x630 PNG) you can post publicly or send to a co-founder.
Can I download the checklist for offline use?
Yes. Once you complete it (or at any point) you can download a Markdown launch report with every item, your notes, your proof links, and the full why / what / how for future reference.
Is the checklist the same for every stack?
No. The universal items (SSL, privacy policy, error monitoring, HTTPS + HSTS) are shared. Stack-specific items only appear for their relevant stacks: WordPress hardening, Shopify checkout tests, Vercel preview environments, mobile crash reporting, App Store screenshots, Play Store review flow, and so on. You will not see a WordPress-specific step if you picked Lovable.
Is this a replacement for a QA team?
For pre-launch teams without QA, yes for launch-day essentials. It covers domain / DNS / SSL, legal + consent (privacy, terms, cookie banner, GDPR opt-in), payments (test purchases, webhook signatures, refund flow), monitoring (Sentry, uptime, alerting), and launch-day (post-mortem template, rollback plan, status page). It does not replace feature-level QA for your product logic.
What if my stack is not in the list?
Pick "Custom / Other" and you get the full universal checklist. Then email hello@cafiyn.com and tell us your stack, if there is real interest we will add a filtered variant.
How long does it take to work through?
Depends how many items you have already done. From a fresh Lovable / Bolt / v0 project, expect 4 to 8 hours of real work spread across a week to hit 100 percent. From a mature Next.js app already in production it can be closer to 1 to 2 hours of catch-up.
