Plugins that do one thing, really well.

PlugWren builds small, focused WordPress plugins that respect your visitors' privacy, stay out of your way and never phone home.

ReplyPing

Readers get an email when someone replies to their comment – so conversations on your blog keep going instead of dying after the first reply.

Tick a box

Readers choose replies to their comment, or every new comment on the post.

Confirm by email

Double opt-in, and only once the comment is approved. Spam never gets through.

Get pinged

New replies arrive by email, sent quietly in the background.

ReplyPing subscription checkboxes under a WordPress comment form

Fits right into your comment form

Two checkboxes and your consent text – styled by your theme.

0

external services

Everything stays on your own site. No accounts, no API keys, no tracking.

GDPR tools built in

Consent logging, WordPress data export & erase, and suggested privacy-policy text.

One-click unsubscribe

In every email – from one post or all of them.

Light on your server

Emails go out in small background batches, never during a page load.

Your words

Edit the sender, subjects and email text with simple placeholders.
