Show your client the work behind the wait
- The problem
- A commission takes weeks or months. Clients have paid a deposit and see nothing until delivery, so they ask. Updates end up spread across WhatsApp, email and Instagram.
- What it does
- You capture the work where it happens. The client gets one private page with the stages, your photos and notes. They can comment and approve what they see.
- Why it matters
- Seeing the work behind a piece changes how people value it. It also turns the wait into part of the commission, instead of a gap after the deposit.
- What is different
- It is made for the bench: one-tap capture, offline first, big targets for dusty hands, and the timeline names your workshop.

Made for the bench
One-tap capture
Photo, voice note or text. Pick the stage with one tap. Video is coming once its location data can be stripped.
Offline first
Saved on your phone straight away, uploaded when the signal comes back. You can see what is still waiting.
Private until published
Every entry starts private. Publish single entries or the whole day at once.
Stages from your template
Stages come from your craft's template: brief, design, materials, making, finishing, handover. Rename, reorder or add your own.
Your brand
Your workshop's name and initial on the client's page, in Fecivo's own look.
Comments and digests
Clients can comment under an entry and approve what they see. You see both in the same thread.
No location data
Photos are copied without GPS or camera metadata before your client or anyone else sees them.
A nudge when it goes quiet
If a commission has had no published update for two weeks, you get a reminder. The client never does.
Questions makers ask
Does my client need to install anything?
No. They open a private link you send them. It works on any phone or computer, and you can switch it off and issue a new one if you need to.
Will my client see everything I record?
No. Entries are private until you publish them. Keep the test joints and the bad days to yourself.
Does it work without signal in the workshop?
Yes. Entries are stored on your phone and upload when you are back online. The app shows what is still waiting to upload.
How does it work on an iPhone?
You add Fecivo to your home screen and use it like an app. Entries are saved on the phone first and upload when the app is open and online, because iOS limits what web apps can do in the background.
Can I show a client’s home in the timeline?
Only with their permission. The handover stage suggests a photo of the piece in its new home, and the client decides whether that is shared.
