Everything you need โ€” without the compliance headache

The whole waitlist toolkit, from first signup to launch day. Nothing to bolt on, no consent plugin to wire up.

Hosted page

A ready-to-share page at followtheduck.app/w/your-launch โ€” no website required to start collecting.

Inline embed

Paste one snippet and the signup widget lives right on your own site, styled to match.

Referral queue

Subscribers climb the list by inviting friends โ€” a built-in viral loop, no second tool to pay for.

Make it yours

Match colors, copy and logo so the form feels like part of your brand.

Export anytime

Your subscribers are yours. One-click CSV export, no lock-in.

Magic-link sign-in

Log in with a link in your inbox โ€” nothing to remember, nothing to leak in a breach.

Live in three steps

From idea to collecting emails in about the time it takes to make coffee.

  1. 1

    Create a waitlist

    Name your launch and get a shareable link in seconds. No setup wizard, no credit card.

  2. 2

    Share or embed

    Drop the hosted link in your bio and posts, or paste the widget onto your own site.

  3. 3

    Watch it grow

    Subscribers confirm by double opt-in. Export them or fire the launch email whenever you're ready.

Privacy-first, not privacy-theater

The compliance basics handled for you โ€” so collecting emails doesn't mean inheriting a legal to-do list.

EU-hosted by default

Your subscribers' data lives on EU infrastructure. You stay the controller โ€” we're just the processor, and we say so in writing.

Consent you can prove

Double opt-in with a timestamped consent trail, so you can show exactly when and how each subscriber said yes.

Retention on autopilot

Pick a retention window and old data purges itself. One-click unsubscribe and erase, no support ticket required.

Simple pricing. No subscriptions.

Validate on the free tier, then pay once when a launch takes off โ€” no monthly bill, no per-seat math, ever.
