The idea

Everything your business does, in one place, and everything your clients touch, on your brand.

We are a cinematographer's studio that got obsessed with how clients feel. So we built the portal we always wanted, then made it something any business, creative or not, can run on.

Everything, connected

Every part of your business, in the palm of your hand.

Payments, projects, deliverables, meetings, calendar, messages, every thread of the work runs through one hub, on your brand.

Invoices

One login. Your brand on every screen. Your clients stop chasing files across email and text, and you stop living in ten open tabs. The whole business runs from one place you actually own, and it goes wherever you do. That is the difference between looking busy and being in control.

What it does

Your side

One command center

Every lead, client, and project on one board. Contacts pulled from email, meeting notes written for you, invoices that get paid, the busywork just runs.

  • Leads → active → paid, one pipeline
  • Meetings take their own notes
  • Invoices chase themselves
Their side

A portal on your brand

Clients get a calm space with your logo, not ours. They track the project, sign, approve, and pay, all in one thread, no hunting through email.

  • Your brand, their login
  • Sign & approve in a tap
  • Pay the deposit right there
The library

Deliverables route themselves

Drop a final file and it lands on the right project, collected in one shared library. Clients download from their portal. Nobody digs for that one file again.

  • Auto-routed to the project
  • One searchable library
  • No giant email attachments
The work

Media review & approvals

Clients review draft photos, films, and assets right in the portal, frame-accurate, nothing to download. They leave a note on the exact moment, approve the round, and the next version is one tap away.

  • Review drafts in the browser
  • Comment on the exact frame
  • Approve rounds without email
The money

Invoices that pay themselves

Send a real invoice, take a card right in the portal, and watch it reconcile against the project automatically. Deposits, balances, and retainers collected on time, without the awkward follow-up.

  • Pay-now by card in the portal
  • Auto-reconciled to the project
  • Deposits & retainers on schedule
After hours

An assistant trained on you

A private AI, trained on your real documents, answers in your voice day or night and drafts the replies. You approve every one before it sends.

  • Answers from your own docs
  • Drafts in your voice
  • You approve every draft
