The client app

The app your clients keep.

Your clients download one app and find everything of theirs in it: the gallery, the invoice, the contract, the forms you sent, and the conversation you are having. They enter their email address and the shoot date, and a sign-in link arrives by email. No account to create, no password to remember.

Common questions

Is the app for me or for my clients?

For your clients. It is where they browse the galleries you share, favorite shots, save photos, and message you. You run your studio from the web dashboard.

Where do my clients get the app?

It is free on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Clients are never forced to install it. Every gallery also opens in any web browser.

Do my clients need an account or a password?

No. They enter their email address and the date of their shoot, and a sign-in link arrives by email that opens only what belongs to them.

Can my clients pay and sign from the app?

Yes. Invoices arrive in the app and your clients can pay by card there. Contracts can be read and signed in the app, and the questionnaires you send can be filled in from it. They can also do all of it from a link in any browser.

Where do downloaded photos go on their phone?

Into their camera roll at full resolution. Downloading a whole gallery groups the photos into an album named after that gallery, so a session does not scatter through their library.

Will my client know when I share a gallery?

They get a push notification on their phone the moment you share, so the gallery announces itself instead of waiting in an inbox.

Can clients message me from the app?

Yes, on any paid plan. Messages appear under the Messages tab next to their galleries and your replies arrive as a push notification. They can also reply straight to that notification email, and it lands back in the conversation.

Does the app work without a connection?

Browsing a gallery needs a connection, but photos already downloaded are saved to the phone and stay available offline.
