Built for the way you actually work

I'm a…

“My clients are often older and not technical - emailing me a scanned will is a real struggle for them.”
  • A single link with a tidy checklist - no account, no app, nothing for the client to install.
  • Files virus-scanned, encrypted at rest, and audit-logged for your file.
  • Send executed documents back to the client through the same secure link.
How it works

Three steps. No software for your client.

1

Create a request

List the files you need. Pick from a starter template (mortgage, refinance, tax return, KYC) or build your own checklist.

2

Your client gets a magic link

One email, one click, no account. They see a tidy checklist on a page branded as your firm, not ours.

3

Files land in your dashboard

Each one is scanned for viruses, encrypted at rest, and added to the audit log so you know who sent what when.

Why pay for this

Email wasn't built for client documents.

You already know the alternatives have problems. Here's how this stacks up against what you're probably doing today.

Security

The boring parts, done properly.

Virus scanning

Every upload goes through ClamAV before it lands in your dashboard. Infected files are quarantined and you get an alert.

Encryption at rest

Files live in S3-compatible object storage with server-side encryption. Optional client-side end-to-end encryption on Business+.

Full audit log

Every action gets a timestamped record with the actor: request created, link sent, file uploaded, file downloaded. Exportable.

No-account uploads

Your contact clicks a magic link and uploads. No password, no sign-up, no support email asking how to use Dropbox.

Canadian-hosted

Servers in Canada, TLS everywhere, secrets managed in environment variables, and no third-party trackers on customer-facing pages.

MFA on every account

TOTP, hardware passkeys (YubiKey / iCloud / Windows Hello), and recovery codes. Sudo gate on destructive actions.

FAQ

Common questions

Where are the files stored?+

On a Canadian VPS using S3-compatible object storage with server-side encryption. Files are never copied to third-party clouds, and they sit outside US CLOUD Act jurisdiction.

What happens to files after the request expires?+

Each request has a configurable expiry (default 30 days). After that, the magic link stops working. Files remain in your dashboard until you delete them or your retention policy removes them.

Is this HIPAA / GLBA / CCPA compliant?+

The product is built with privacy-by-design expectations in mind: minimum-necessary collection, audit logging, encryption, expiry. We are not HIPAA-certified and do not sign BAAs at this tier; for HIPAA-adjacent workflows we provide the technical building blocks (encryption, access logs, MFA) but compliance certification is your responsibility. GLBA and CCPA obligations are similarly supported but ultimately yours to attest.

Can I cancel during the trial?+

Yes. The 14-day trial is free and we don’t charge your card until day 15. Cancel any time from the billing page in your dashboard.

Can my clients reply to the magic-link email?+

Yes. Invite emails go out with your email address as the reply-to, so your client can ask a question and it lands in your inbox like a normal reply.

Try it on your next intake.

14 days free, every feature included. Cancel before day 15 and your card is never charged.
