Did you guys change the purpose of Macaw sometime after it was hunted? Instead of "collaborate with your CLIENT" the message now seems to be "collaborate with your TEAM" 😕 There's a lot of team collaboration tools out there, but I can't think of any that let you collaborate with clients.

Hi @tostartafire, thanks for your honest comment.
We’ve thought about adding more features, but we decided to keep it like this for the Beta version.
Currently, simplicity is what we aim for. And we’re trying to improve our app to match user’s expected experiences first before giving them too many choices.
Hello Hunters!
We would love to show to you guys Macaw, a tool that help you improve efficiency during collaborating with your clients. Macaw is made to solve the communication problems for freelancers:
- Unknown goals / scope creep
- Client unresponsiveness
- Missing output after conversations
Macaw currently contains the following features:
- Checklist for tasks to be done.
- Realtime notifications via emails
- Question & Answer system to create a new behavior in acquiring & organizing information.
This is currently a beta version of Macaw and we are welcome all feedbacks and questions. All your ideas are of great contribution to us. Thanks again!
Luu.
How do I assign someone tasks? It seems only a member can add task for himself - none can assign to him. Update: Ok I got it. It's done via Backlog tab.
Hi, I haven't used this product but it looks like a task management tool. You mentioned there is "a Q&A feature which may create new behavior in acquiring & organizing information", this is interesting, I wonder how the tool may able to do this?
Hi @wacam10, thanks for the comment,
We have a separate section called Question & Answers. You can ask your client about any specific details of the job while you’re collaborating with them. Using this, the info you want won’t be lost forever like your common e-mail loops. You can go as detail as you want for a single question instead of too many sub-topics in a generic channel.
Having been using the tool for a while and here are some of my questions:
- How can I delete the Question/Answer or it is unable to do so?
- How many clients/other freelancers I can invite in a project?
- Is there going to be an iOS version for this tool?
Suggestion: It would be great if I can see the timing of every action (like a comment, task creation/delete...) 🤔
Hi @bitishw, thanks for your contributions, we really appreciate that!
I'll answers all your questions here:
1. Currently, we don’t think users should delete any question, since any question & its answer always has their meaning. Just keep it for later use.
2. For now, you can only invite 1 person to your project, whether it’s your client or your team member. We're working to increase the number of personnel for a project.
3. The iOS version will come within the next months. Please stay in touch with us!
Looks like a good and simple tool. How do you plan to monetise? What is the business model?
Hi @loomiassistant, thanks for your compliment.
We haven’t decided the business model yet due to the fact that we’re focusing on improving user experiences at this moment. For now, everyone can use it for free. :D
