summary: >-
  LaunchKit's hosted service is discontinued. The company (Cluster Labs, Inc.)
  joined Google and the product was open sourced; the project site states
  "LaunchKit has joined Google & the code is now open source." There is no live
  hosted API, developer portal, status page, SLA or deprecation policy to
  capture — the remaining surface is a self-hostable open-source codebase.

    self-hosting.

domain_note: >-
  The original domain launchkit.io no longer belongs to the company. It now
  serves an unrelated "Launch Kit" content-creator marketing blog (Hugo site,
  copyright 2021-2025) and returns 403 to non-browser clients. Do not treat
  launchkit.io as a LaunchKit property. The surviving first-party surface is
  https://launchkit.github.io/ and the GitHub organization.
