Get the issue signed off without the email chain.
Collaborative proofing, review and approval for magazine publishers, editorial teams and print production. Review multi-page layouts, pin comments to the exact spot on the page, move each page through defined approval gates: copy edit, design QA, client sign-off, and hand a print-ready issue to production.
Proofing & approval for print production
In development
6
Multi-page layout review
Whole issues, not single files. Pages are rasterised into deep-zoom tiles so a 200MB print PDF opens instantly in a browser.
Comments pinned to the page
Feedback attaches to a coordinate on a specific page, so nobody has to describe where the problem is.
Approval gates
Each page moves through defined stages: copy edit → design QA → client sign-off, and you can see exactly what is blocking the issue.
Print-ready handoff
Preflight checks and a clean handoff to production once every page has cleared its gates.
Self-hosted
One-command Docker deployment. Unpublished issues never leave infrastructure you control, which for a publisher is the whole argument.
Built for real file sizes
Background workers handle rasterisation, thumbnails and preflight, so the interface stays responsive on production-weight artwork.
Magazine publishers running a monthly or quarterly issue
Editorial teams juggling copy edits, design QA and client sign-off
Print production teams who need an auditable approval trail
A guided walkthrough with someone who built it, not a sales call with a slide deck.
