Public Broadcasts make it easier than ever to deliver software to your end users through a branded, trustworthy, and developer-friendly distribution experience.

Broadcasts allow you to distribute artifacts directly from your Cloudsmith repositories using a polished, customizable user interface that reflects your brand, integrates with native developer tooling, and provides visibility into how your software is being adopted.

## Key benefits

- **Build trust with a branded portal:** Present your software through an interface that matches your company’s identity. Use your logo, colors, and a custom domain to ensure end users experience a familiar, professional interface when deciding to install your software.
- **Track adoption with built-in analytics:** Eliminate the guesswork from distribution. Gain real-time insights into which versions are being downloaded and how adoption trends change over time.
- **Native developer workflows:** Broadcasts integrate seamlessly with native developer tooling, allowing users to fetch packages via their preferred CLI or CI/CD tools—no friction, no workarounds.
- **Zero infrastructure setup:** Turn any existing Cloudsmith repository into a professional public distribution portal in seconds. No need to build, host, or maintain custom download pages.

## Recent enhancements 

Since the initial Early Access release, we’ve added several features to further refine the distribution experience:

- **Additional theme customization** for greater control over look and feel.
- **Expanded metadata**, including architecture and distribution information, is now available on Broadcasts.
- **Optimized onboarding** with improved installation documentation to help users get started faster.
- **Open-source support**, making it easier to share open-source projects and artifacts.
