About KudosAPI

The Problem

As indie developers and builders, we're constantly checking dashboards. Stripe, analytics, email, social media. The dopamine hit of seeing a new sale or signup is addictive, but the constant checking is exhausting and counterproductive.

Most monitoring tools are designed to alert you when something goes wrong. They add stress, not joy.

The Solution

KudosAPI is anti-monitoring. Instead of alerting you to problems, we celebrate your wins. When good things happen in your projects, we send you AI-crafted encouragement at random moments throughout your day.

The randomness is intentional. Research shows that variable reward timing is more emotionally impactful than predictable rewards. By delivering encouragement at unexpected moments, we maximize the positive emotional impact.

Built for Builders

KudosAPI is built specifically for indie developers, solopreneurs, and small teams who are shipping products and want to feel good about their progress without obsessively checking metrics.

We use Claude to analyze your events and craft genuinely meaningful messages. Not generic “great job!” nonsense, but real recognition of what you've achieved and how it fits into your journey.

Privacy First
