Built for accountants, tax advisors, HR teams, consultants, and anyone tired of "I'll send it tomorrow" emails.
CodeBlinks FolioDocFolioDoc's answer:
I watched professionals waste hours every week sending reminder emails for missing documents. Tax season is the worst โ accountants chase dozens of clients for the same paperwork every year. I built FolioDoc to automate that entire workflow: create a checklist, set a deadline, and let the system handle the reminders.
FolioDoc's answer:
Django and Django REST Framework on the backend, Next.js with TypeScript on the frontend, PostgreSQL for the database, Celery with Redis for background jobs and email scheduling, ClamAV for antivirus scanning, and nginx as the reverse proxy. Hosted on Hetzner in Germany.
FolioDoc's answer:
Zero friction for recipients. They click a magic link, see a checklist of what's needed, upload their files, and they're done. No account creation, no passwords, no app to install. Most document collection tools force both sides to create accounts โ FolioDoc only requires the sender to have one.
FolioDoc's answer:
Simplicity. Competitors like Content Snare and Clustdoc are powerful but complex โ they take hours to set up and overwhelm clients with features. FolioDoc takes 2 minutes to create a request and your client needs zero training to use it. Plus, every upload is scanned with ClamAV antivirus, and the whole platform is GDPR compliant and hosted in Germany.
FolioDoc's answer:
Accountants, tax advisors, HR teams, consultants, freelancers and law firms โ anyone who regularly collects documents from clients, employees, or partners and is tired of chasing people over email.
