Version chaos ends on a timeline.
BlickDrop puts the brief, the drafts, the red-lines, the approvals, and the final files on one shared timeline. Your client just clicks a link — no account, no new tool to learn.
Every tool you already use,
filed onto one timeline.
Eight plates.
The whole practice.
Everything below is shipped and in the beta today — nothing roadmap-shaped. Two of these plates are live. Poke them.
One project, one spine.
Brief, drafts, red-lines, approvals, final files — every event lands on a single timeline both of you can read top to bottom. Drag a file on and it becomes an event. Reorder, publish when ready, search the whole history. It's the project's memory, and nobody asks “which version is current?” again.
Show all three. Let them pick.
Put two, three, five directions side-by-side on the same event and let your client tap the winner. Revisions stack on the option they belong to — v1, v2, v3 stay attached to their lineage instead of scattering across filenames.↳ live — click an option to approve it
Say it in the margins. Literally.
Draw straight onto the work — and past its edges. The arrow that starts in the margin, the “move this 40px”, the scribbled heart: all of it is preserved in the PNG export, margins included. Numbered pins tie every scribble to a comment thread, so feedback never floats free of its reply.
Every format your work ships in.
Comments on video land on the exact frame — 00:04.2, not “around the middle”. PDFs take notes per page, so the lookbook and the contract get the same treatment as the artwork. And when the client asks “what changed?”, open two versions side-by-side and point.
The work reveals itself when the invoice clears.
Lock an option and your client sees a low-res, watermarked preview — the real file stays yours. Downloads are refused server-side, not just hidden. The moment payment lands, flip the lock and the master appears. No trust gymnastics, no “final_FINAL.zip” attached to an email.↳ live — stamp the invoice and watch
Your client never makes an account.
Send a share link — password and expiry if you want them — and they open it, type their name, start commenting. Or skip links entirely: every project has its own email address. Replies from their normal inbox land on the timeline as comments, and your replies go back out from the project's address, your name on the From line.
Files that out-live the project.
Drop the finals on the timeline and BlickDrop packages them, hosts them, and emails your client the link — on your behalf. Bulk ZIPs that actually finish, download receipts so you know they got it, and links that never expire. The quiet WeTransfer funeral.
Live everywhere. Quiet on purpose.
Comments, approvals, locks, annotations — every open tab sees them within a second, no refresh. And the notifications know when to shut up: digests cancel out create-then-delete noise, the bell dedupes repeats, and a mention email waits two minutes before sending in case you take it back.

We're in beta.
Help us break it in.
BlickDrop is live for testing. Sign up, run a real project through it, tell us what you love and what made you swear under your breath. Your feedback shapes what ships next.
Every shipped capability — timeline, options, lock & reveal, share links, project email, video and PDF review. Nothing held behind a tier wall.
A dedicated channel for beta feedback. We read every note, ship the same week when we can, and tell you when we won’t.
Bulk export of every project, file, comment, and annotation any time. If beta isn’t for you, leave with everything.

The questions you'd ask at the conference bar.
No. Every project gets its own email address — your client replies from the Mail app they already use and it lands on your timeline as a comment. Or share a link: they open it, type their name, start commenting. No account, no password, no login screen.
Frame.io is great for video. BlickDrop is for the whole workflow — stills, video, PDFs, brief, deliveries, approvals, final hand-off — on one timeline. Plus a lock/reveal model (watermarked preview until payment clears) that Frame.io doesn't do.
Two levers: low-res (25% or 50%) and a diagonal DRAFT watermark. You lock an option or a single asset; the cascade is atomic (every image in the branch, every frame-capture of every video). Images render synchronously via sharp; videos enqueue an FFmpeg job. Downloads on locked assets are refused server-side — the UI-hide is defense-in-depth.
Drag and drop. Bulk upload — we'll chew through 100 files in one go. Your folder structure comes in as branches on events. You don't have to recreate anything by hand.
30-day grace period. Full ZIP export of every file, every annotation, every comment. No lock-in, no gating. After the grace window, everything is deleted and nothing about you remains on our servers.
Never. Every file you upload is downloadable at any time — individually, or as a bulk ZIP. Annotations export as flattened PNG and as raw JSON. Your work is yours the whole time.
Clients can comment, approve, and view from mobile — the share view is responsive. Uploads and the full annotation workspace are desktop-first, because you are.
The next proof
should be yours.
Sign up, run a real project through it, send us the parts that worked and the parts that didn't. That's the whole deal.
