01 — How it works

Write. Publish. Measure.

Three surfaces, one document. A focused editor for writing, a branded reader for clients, and analytics that show you what happened after you hit send.

Write

A focused editor with structured blocks for proposals, briefs, and recaps. Markdown, slash commands, and a bubble menu — never a toolbar in your way.

Share

Every document gets a real reader experience — on your domain, with your brand, table of contents, comments, and granular access. No more PDF attachments.

Measure

See who read what, where they stopped, what they highlighted. Treat your writing like product — with feedback loops, not silence after send.

02 — The Reader

Your proposal deserves its own page.

Every Harbor doc publishes as a real web page with your brand, a table of contents, search, and inline commenting. Clients read it in their browser — no downloads, no accounts, no friction.

  • Reader templates — switch from minimal to studio without re-laying-out a single block.
  • Granular access — public link, email gate, password, or a per-reader passcode that expires.
  • Comments without accounts — clients leave inline reactions from a single link.

03 — Reader Analytics

Know what your clients actually read.

Every published doc tracks views, scroll depth, time on each section, and reader reactions. Know if your champion opened it before the meeting — and which sections they skipped.

  • Per-reader timelines — know if your champion actually opened it before the call.
  • Section heat — the warmest scroll wins; the cold sections get cut next round.
  • Slack & email digests — daily summary of who read what across every shared doc.

04 — Structured Blocks

Blocks that mean something.

Outcome blocks define what success looks like. Project blocks reference live work. Every block is structured data inside your document — not just formatted text.

  • Five typed primitives — Outcome, Skill, Project, Client, Pricing.
  • One source, many docs — update a Project Block and every proposal that references it updates with attribution.
  • Export to anywhere — CSV, JSON, or a webhook into your CRM the moment a client accepts.

Harbor turned proposals from the worst part of running my studio into the part I'm proudest to send. The reader analytics changed how I follow up — I can see exactly when to call.

I stopped sending PDFs the day I tried it. Clients click the link, see a real page, comment inline, and we're talking about the work instead of formatting.
