Build your newsletter with ease

About Buttondown

Buttondown is a newsletter software designed to provide a simple and elegant solution for managing newsletters. Founded by Justin Duke, the product was created to address the need for a tool that allows users to collect subscribers and send emails easily, without the complexities of other email platforms. Buttondown prioritizes user privacy, offering GDPR-compliance and analytics turned off by default. It supports Markdown for efficient writing and provides features like paid subscriptions, analytics, API support, and a range of customization options. The product has garnered praise for its user-friendly interface, responsive customer service, and focus on simplicity and effectiveness.

• Privacy-first

  Buttondown is GDPR-compliant — and then some. I don't collect any data about you (or your subscribers), and Buttondown is the only newsletter provider that starts with analytics turned off by default.

• Write in Markdown

  Buttondown uses the best of Markdown (plus things like embedded Tweets and photos) so you can write quickly and efficiently without worrying about clumsy email markup or WYSIWYGs.

• Run by humans

  Buttondown isn't a startup; it isn't a 'revolution'. It's just a bunch of people trying to make a tool that makes your life easier.

• First-party API

  Everything you can do on Buttondown's interface, you can also do with our REST-ful API.

• Paid subscriptions

  Buttondown makes it easy and painless for you to get paid for your newsletters. Want to have a free tier? That's possible, too!
