Show clients your work and get their notes on it.
For photographers, designers, writers, and artists tired of email chains, expiring Dropbox links, and feedback scattered across texts and calls.
Client-ready file sharing · structured feedback
Client work tends to spread across whatever tools each client happens to use, and later nobody can say which version was approved.
-
—
Email chains losing attachments
Old versions turn up again, and clients can't tell which file is current.
-
—
Dropbox links expire or over-share
A link either stops working too soon or ends up with people it wasn't meant for.
-
—
Feedback scattered everywhere
Notes arrive by text, email, and phone, and there's no one place to look them up.
-
—
No record of approvals
It's hard to show which version a client approved, when, and with what notes.
What a shelf does.
A place for your client
Invite your client to the shelf: they see every file you upload, and each one's decision.
Gallery view
Visual work displayed in a grid with lightbox viewing.
Custom branding
Put your logo and brand colors on the pages your clients see.
Approval workflow
Your client approves each file or asks for changes, with a note, and you're emailed what they decided.
Revision tracking
You upload the next version in reply to their notes, and every earlier version is kept.
Structured feedback
Clients highlight and comment on the work itself, and you answer in the thread.
Photographers, designers, writers, artists.
Photographers managing client proofs and selections. Designers collecting feedback on concepts and drafts. Writers organizing manuscripts and beta-reader feedback. Artists managing commissions and client approvals. Open one shelf per client or project.
