Client approvals
Get to “approved” without another login wall
Clients review in the browser, leave timestamped notes, and approve the exact version you need to ship.
No per-member or guest fees. One $10/month hosted plan covers your whole team and every client reviewer link.
Approvals that clients actually complete
Send one link, collect precise feedback on the timeline, request approval from specific reviewers, and keep a record of who signed off on which version.
