Every business runs on the same few things: bookings, approvals, requests, client portals, tracking and content. Each example below is one of them, working, with sample data. Switch roles to see what each person sees. Nothing to sign up for, and nothing you do is saved.
Don't see your business? You don't need to. Describe how your work moves and we build it your way. Describe yours.

Content planning and approvals
A dated publishing calendar per client, who's making what, and what's waiting for sign-off. The app runs the workflow and links to your files; it doesn't edit or store video.

Dashboards and reports
Every app comes with them: totals, counts by status, what's waiting on whom. They sit on top of each example's work surface.
Same need. Three owners. Three different apps.
Approving what the team spends, built the way three different owners asked for it. Each one is a real app running on Matrixcape with sample data; only the choices are different.
A design studio owner
- One approver, a quick yes or no
- Waiting → Approved → Reimbursed
- Starts on “To approve”
- Teal
A restaurant group with two locations
- Two sign-offs: manager, then owner
- Five steps, and only the owner takes the last yes
- Owner starts on a dashboard, with an “Over $5,000” list
- Purple
A landscaper paying crews back
- Their words: “receipts”, “crew”, “office”, “Job #”
- Miles driven, with the pay-back worked out for them
- Two steps: Turned in → Paid back
- Orange
Your business, your rules.
You decide the fields, the steps, who approves what, the screens, the names and the color. When the business changes, ask for the change in plain English.
Every version of your app is saved — roll back the app's design in one click. Your records stay as they are.

Yours would fit your business, not ours.
These are starting points. Describe how your business actually runs, and Matrixcape builds yours around it: your fields, your steps, who approves what, your words. Change any of it later by asking.
We're letting owners in every week. Apply in 30 seconds — you'll get an email invite, then build free.
