About Launched
Hi 👋, I’m Charlie Chapman — app developer and host of Launched, a podcast about what it really takes to release something new into the world.
After launching my own iOS app, Dark Noise, I realized how much I learned from hearing other creators share their launch stories — the wins, the mistakes, and everything in between. Those conversations helped me plan my release, market more confidently, and stay motivated when things got messy.
Launched exists to do the same for you — to be a resource for indie developers and creators navigating their first (or next) launch. Each episode dives into how real people build, ship, and share their work with the world.
In 2025, Launched joined the RevenueCat family of podcasts alongside Sub Club. While Sub Club focuses on how scaled apps grow and monetize, Launched spotlights the early days — the experiments, small wins, and lessons that spark big ideas.

I also ...

Wonderful podcast!
Charlie is a brilliant host, who is able to get his subjects to talk about their process/career with ease.
