The Product

One home for the whole project

Design projects scatter across email threads, spreadsheets, shared drives, and text messages. Open Studio Flow pulls all of it into one place, built specifically for how interior designers, architects, landscape designers, event designers, and design studios actually work. Designers pay per seat; clients and contractors join free with no limit, so the whole project team actually uses it.

From first consultation to final installation, everything lives on the project: milestones and tasks, shared files with visibility controls, real-time messaging, client approvals, budgets with markup, and a selections board that tracks every tile, fixture, and fabric from research to install.

Features

What it does

Everything a design studio needs from first consultation to final completion.

Project management

Milestones, tasks, and assignments keep contractors and clients aligned from concept to completion.

Files & storage

Floor plans, mood boards, renderings, and spec sheets, organized by folder with per-audience visibility controls.

Client approvals

Send selections for review and track what is approved, what needs revision, and what is pending — clients approve from mobile.

Budget tracking

Per-project budgets with categories, markup, and a client-visible view, plus PDF export.

Selections tracker

Every FF&E selection — tile, cabinetry, fixtures, furniture — moves from research to installation on a visual Kanban board, with alerts when a product is discontinued.

Consultation booking

A shareable booking page lets clients pick a meeting type and an open slot: site visits, walkthroughs, and consultations scheduled in seconds.

Voice notes & AI transcription

Site-walkthrough voice memos are transcribed into searchable text with speaker labels, so no detail gets lost.

Guest share links

Share files, selections, or messages with anyone — realtors, vendors, quick-look clients — no account needed.

Native on iOS

A design studio in your pocket

The native iOS companion app is built for on-site capture: photos, voice memos, and notes straight from the job site. Contractors and clients can capture too, and everything syncs to the project instantly.

Under the hood

The web app is SvelteKit 2 with Svelte 5 runes, deployed on Cloudflare Pages with a set of Workers handling webhooks, cron jobs, and image thumbnails. Supabase provides Postgres with row-level security, auth, and realtime sync; files live in Cloudflare R2 behind presigned uploads. Billing runs through Stripe on the web and Apple in-app purchase on iOS, voice memos are transcribed with AssemblyAI, and the whole product ships in four languages.
