TAKE 00
Nthtake
Unlocking take
Less back-and-forth.
Clearer feedback.
Send a watermarked preview. The client marks the take. When they pay, the master unlocks.
Ghosting after delivery.
A single question about unpaid finished work pulled 3,200 freelancer replies. Nthtake keeps the master locked until the client pays.
Hold to unlock the master.
Clients watch the whole cut with a watermark. They hold to confirm. Let go early and the lock eases back.

PREVIEW
Heard this before.
The loudest freelancer pain is not finding clients. It is getting paid by the ones you already have.
"Delivered the cut, they vanished. I still chase that invoice."
"Drive folder named FINAL_v7 and a polite WhatsApp every Friday."
"They loved the preview. Payment was 'next week' for two months."
"I don't want escrow drama. I want them to see the work, then pay."
"3,200 people answered one Reddit thread about this exact hole."
"UPI is easy. Sending the master first is the part that still hurts."
