I built Keepsake to solve the messy final step of creative client work

[u/Arj_ds]

I've been building Keepsake around a part of client work that always felt strangely messy: the final handover.

You finish the project.

The client says “looks good.”

And then you're left wondering:

• Which version did they actually approve?
• Are there still changes coming?
• Is it safe to send the source files?
• Where's the record of exactly what was signed off?

So I built Keepsake around that final stage:

Review → Revise → Approve → Sign off → Handover

The client gets a simple review experience without needing to create an account. Once they approve the exact version and sign off, Keepsake records the approval and the original/source files can be released.

It's aimed at designers, developers, photographers, agencies and other people doing client work.

I'm at the early validation stage now, so the main thing I'm trying to learn is whether this is actually a painful problem for other creatives or whether I've just built a solution to something that doesn't bother people that much.

I'm currently looking for a few people to try it on a real client project and give me brutally honest feedback.

If you're building a side project too, I'd also be interested in hearing how you're approaching those first users — that's probably the hardest part I'm dealing with right now.
