A composer for roundups
Paste a web address and the title, description and picture are fetched for you. Group links under your own headings, reorder them by dragging, and move one between sections without retyping a word of it.
The platform for curated link newsletters.
Save links all week from wherever you read them. On send day, drag the good ones into an issue, write a line on each, and press send. No blank page, no layout to wrestle with.
No card required. You can send real issues during the trial.
How it works
Three habits, one issue.
The work of a curated newsletter is spread across the week. The tooling should be too.
1
Save as you read
A browser button puts whatever you are reading into your library in two clicks, with the title and description already filled in. Readers can send you links too, and those land in the same place rather than in your inbox.
2
Assemble the issue
Pull links out of the library and drag them into sections. Write your take on each one. What you see while you write is the email your readers get, not an approximation of it.
3
Send and forget
Schedule it for your usual slot. The web version of the issue publishes itself, and unsubscribes and bounced addresses are handled without you having to watch for them.
What you get
Built for the format, not adapted to it.
A general email tool hands you a blank canvas and a row of drag-and-drop blocks. Neither is much help when the thing you are making is a list of links with opinions attached.
Sending, already handled
Nothing to connect, nothing to configure, no records to paste anywhere. Your first issue can go out this afternoon. When you would rather own the sending yourself, that is a switch in settings and it costs nothing extra.
Sponsorship without the spreadsheet
Set your slot types and prices once. Publish a calendar sponsors can book against, or take enquiries through a form. Confirmed bookings turn up in the composer on the right date, so nothing gets forgotten.
You find out which links landed
Every link is tracked under your own name, and the report after each issue ranks them by how many readers clicked. It is the closest thing to watching someone read, and it makes next week's picks better.
An archive worth having
Every newsletter gets a website with your branding: a signup form, every past issue as a page of its own, and a way for readers to send you links. It is the thing people find when they search for you, months after the email was read.
Readers without the admin
Bring a list across from a spreadsheet, put a signup form anywhere you like, and let the confirmation email do the checking for you. Unsubscribing takes one tap and happens without you lifting a finger.
The difference that matters
Send your first issue today.
Sending is handled. There is no account to open, nothing to verify and nothing to paste into settings somewhere before your first issue can go out. Sign up this morning, put an issue together over lunch, send it to real people this afternoon.
That is the default, and most people happily leave it alone. When your newsletter turns into something that pays for itself, you can take the sending into your own hands and build a reputation that belongs to you rather than to us. Same price either way. It is a switch you flick when you are ready, not a hoop we make you jump through on day one.
Day one, in full
- Name your newsletter and pick its web address.
- Bring your readers over from a spreadsheet, or start collecting them.
- Save a handful of links you have been meaning to share.
- Write a line under each one and send it.
That is the whole list. Adding your own web address takes a few minutes and puts your name on the envelope, which is worth doing in the first week, but nothing waits for it.
Pricing
Priced on list size, not on how much you send.
One price a month based on how many people are actually reading. Send twice a week or once a quarter, it costs the same.

Questions
What counts as a curated newsletter?
An issue built from links you found elsewhere, grouped under headings, each with a sentence or two of your own commentary. A design weekly, a roundup of what opened in your city, a recruiter sending the ten industry stories that mattered, The Browser, Dense Discovery. The writing you do is the commentary, not a thousand-word essay, and that is the shape Issue Mint is built around.
Do I need to be technical to use this?
No. There is nothing to install and nothing to connect. You sign up, save some links, drag them into the order you want, type your thoughts underneath and press send. Adding your own web address takes a few minutes and we show you exactly what to do, but you can send your first issue without it.
Who actually sends the emails?
We do, and it is included in the price. Nothing to set up and nothing extra to pay. If you later decide you want the sending in your own hands, which is worth doing once a newsletter turns into a business, you can move it across in settings at no extra cost. Above fifteen thousand readers you move to your own account, and we tell you well before you get there.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Every newsletter also gets a free issuemint.site address the moment you create it, so your archive and signup form work straight away. Adding your own domain later puts the public site and your tracked links on your own name rather than ours.
How is the price calculated?
On the total number of active readers across every newsletter on your account. Plans run from $19 a month for 1,000 subscribers up to $249 for 100,000. People who unsubscribed, bounced or never confirmed do not count. If your list grows past a plan limit we tell you before anything changes.
Can I sell sponsorships through it?
You can manage them properly, which is the part most people are doing in a spreadsheet. Set your slot types and prices, then either take enquiries through a form or publish a calendar of upcoming issue dates that sponsors book against themselves. A confirmed sponsor is waiting in the composer when you sit down to write that issue. Issue Mint does not handle the payment, so invoicing stays between you and the sponsor, and none of it comes through us.
What happens when the 14-day trial ends?
Your account becomes read-only until you subscribe. Nothing is deleted, your public archive stays online and your readers stay put. No card is needed to start, and you can send real issues throughout the trial rather than looking at a demo.

14 days, every feature, no card. Send it to real readers rather than clicking around a demo.
