The Studio app

Your studio, in your pocket.

ApertureBook Studio is the app you run your business from. Add it to your phone and know the moment a client pays, signs a contract, sends a form or writes to you, then answer from wherever you are.

No app store On every plan iPhone and computer
Notifications

Know the moment it happens.

The things you would otherwise find out about from an email hours later arrive on your lock screen, with who did it and what happened.

From your clients

  • A new message
  • A contract signed, or declined
  • A form submitted

About money

  • A client paid online, and what is left to pay
  • Your online payments request approved or declined
  • Your payout account disconnected

Your reminders

  • A copy of each reminder sent to a client, when you ask for one
  • Payment, session, contract, form and gallery reminders
The bell

Nothing slips by.

Swiped a notification away, or left push off on this computer? Every one of them is waiting in the bell at the top of Studio.

  • Kept for 90 days, whether or not push is on.
  • One tap to the work: the invoice, contract, form or conversation it is about.
  • The count on the app icon, so you can see at a glance what is new.

Common questions

Is Studio in the App Store?

No. Studio installs straight from your browser: on iPhone you add it to your home screen from Safari, and on a computer you install it from your browser. It opens like any other app and stays signed in.

Does it cost extra?

No. Studio is included on every plan, free plan too. Notifications for client messages come with client messaging, which is on every paid plan.

Why do I need to add it to my home screen on iPhone?

iPhone only lets a website send notifications once it has been added to the home screen. After that, Studio asks whether you want them, and you can change your mind anytime in Settings > Studio app.

What if I miss a notification?

Every notification also lands in the bell at the top of Studio and stays there for 90 days, whether or not push is on for that device. Tap one to go straight to what it is about.

Can I get notifications on more than one device?

Yes. Turn them on wherever you use Studio, your phone and your computer both. Settings > Studio app lists every device and lets you remove one.

Do my clients use Studio?

No. Studio is for you. Your clients use the ApertureBook app on their phone, where they find their gallery, invoice, contract, forms and messages.

The whole studio comes with you.

Studio on your phone is the same Studio as on your computer: reply to clients, check an invoice, look up a session, all from the same sign-in.
