Client portals without the complexity
Your client files. Both ways.
Send files out and collect documents back — signed forms, bank statements, a photo of a receipt — in one private portal per client. They open a link and everything is just there. No signup, no shared-folder chaos, no "which email thread was that in?"
No credit card for your first three clients. We didn't even bring the card machine.
- No client signup required
- In-browser PDF signing, verifiable by anyone
- EU-hosted · GDPR-aligned
- Monthly billing · Cancel anytime
- Clients upload from a phone — no account
- 3 clients free
- Free delivery on every file*
*Files travel by internet. Delivery was always going to be free — we just enjoy saying it.
How it works
Add a client. Send, collect, done.
-
Label printed
Add a client
They get their own isolated portal — files, per-file comments, and nothing else.
-
Package sealed
Send files out
Upload from your dashboard. As many as you need. Drag, drop, done.
-
Out for delivery
Share one link
One link, both ways — they open it to get what you sent and upload what you need back.
-
Round trip ✓
Documents come back
Signed forms, statements, a photo from their phone — filed under the client, timestamped. Approvals too.
Your side of the counter
Every client. One dashboard. Zero archaeology.
Stop excavating email threads to find out where a project stands. Your dashboard shows every client, their files, and who moved last — you or them.
- One row per client. Files, last activity, and a "by client" flag when the ball is in your court.
- Search and sort across all clients — by name, slug, or latest activity.
- Isolated by design. No client ever sees another client. There is nothing to misconfigure.
- Encrypted per client. Each client's files are locked with a key unique to them — no two clients ever share a key.
Inside one portal
Files with statuses, comments, and expiry dates
Each file carries its own conversation. Collect signed forms, statements, and phone photos from the client, set a status, get an approval — all in one place that never scrolls away.
- Two-way uploads. Collect documents from clients as easily as you deliver them — signed forms, statements, IDs.
- Take a photo. On mobile, clients tap one button to photograph a document straight into the portal — no scanner, no app.
- Per-file comments — feedback stays pinned to the file it belongs to.
- Statuses you control — Draft, Final, In Progress — and an Approve button for your client.
- Expiry dates per file, when things shouldn't live forever.
No detour to a separate tool
Sign PDFs right in the portal
Type, draw, or upload a signature, drop it on the page, and save — either side can sign, straight from their existing portal link. No printing, no scanning, no separate e-signature product.
Type, draw, or upload
Type a name in a handwriting-style font, draw it, or upload a signature image — whichever is fastest.
The original stays untouched
Signing creates a new "(signed).pdf" file. The source document is never modified.
Publicly verifiable
Every signed PDF carries a QR code linking to a public page confirming who signed, when, and that the file matches — no account needed to check.
Available on every plan, no addon required. See how PDF signing works →
Use cases
Built for service businesses with many clients
Freelancers with three clients, agencies with three hundred — every plan ships the same security, isolation, and unreasonably pleasant filing experience.
Mortgage Brokers
Collect income docs and signed disclosures, applicant by applicant.
Return to sender
Replace what you're using now
Your current "client portal" is probably an inbox, a shared folder, and a prayer. Send it back.
vs. Email
Stop running client work out of your inbox.
vs. Cloud Drives
Per-client portals, no permission anxiety.
vs. Messaging Apps
Files and decisions that don't scroll away.
