Pipeline
Every deal has a stage and a next move
The board shows each stage's conversion against your goal. Follow-ups carry due dates, and the forecast is weighted by stage so you can plan the month.
- One log sheet
- for calls, DMs and email
- Follow-ups
- resurface on the day they are due
- Forecast
- weighted by stage, planned by month
Calls
Your own booking page and call room
Studio Stream
Projects and portal
Projects run from deposit to delivery
A won deal becomes a project with stages, deliverables and a view of whose move it is. One link hands the client their own page for the files, the review and the invoice.
- Deposit to delivery
- stages, deliverables and due dates
- One portal link
- no account for the client to make
- Your own Stripe
- payments go straight to your account
Catalogue
Show clients your work, one private page at a time
Show a prospect or a client the work that fits them. Upload masters in bulk, group tracks into a private listening page for each recipient, and see every open, play and full listen.
- Drop in bulk
- waveform and MP3 preview made for every master
- A page per recipient
- private, sequenced, sent as a link
- Who listened
- opens and plays reported per link
Your library, in the workspace: drop masters in, and every one of them is ready to group into a listening page for one recipient.
Planner and metrics
Today's calls, deliverables and follow-ups, in order
The planner lists today's calls, deliverables and follow-ups, overdue first. Metrics track close rate, pipeline value and forecast against your goals.
- Overdue first
- tasks past their date at the top
- Metrics vs goals
- what you won, what is open, what lands next
- Next moves
- pulled from the pipeline as follow-ups
Light or dark
The same workspace at 2am
Every screen ships in both. One toggle in your settings, or follow whatever your machine is set to. Same board, same numbers, no second-class dark theme bolted on.
On your phone
The whole workspace, in your pocket
Check the board between sessions, clear follow-ups from the sofa and chase an invoice from the airport. Everything you send opens on your client's phone the same way: the pitch, the portal, the booking page.
- Your day
- everything due, at phone size
- The board
- every deal, one thumb away
- Their side
- pitches and portals open on any phone
The other side of the link
What your client sees
Everything above is your side of the workspace. This is theirs: the pitch they open, the mix they review, the call they book. All of it from a link, none of it needing an account.
