Orders, customers, boards, and quick actions for the day-to-day shaping workflow.
Offline-first surfboard workflow
Surfboard Shaper CRM, Order Tracking, and Surfer Quiver Catalog
ShapeFlow gives shapers a protected local workspace and gives surfers a clean personal experience for orders, quiver tracking, and board photos. Share custom surfboard orders with your shaper via text, email, or wireless.
Built for real handoff
One app for the shop archive, the surfer handoff, and the long-term board record.
ShapeFlow is designed for shared shop devices and real custom-order conversations. Shapers get the operational side of the app. Surfers get their own profile, order history, and quiver tools. The archive stays local, structured, and recoverable.
Surfer mode stays personal. Shaper mode can be protected with Face ID or the device passcode on shared shop hardware.
Surfers can keep a personal board inventory, add photos, and revisit specs without needing the shaper archive.
Single orders travel as `.sfo` files. Full local archives, including board photos, export and restore as `.sfb` backups.
Current release
Latest ShapeFlow features, aligned to the app that is shipping now.
The app has grown well beyond the original order-wizard concept. Today it covers the shop workflow, the surfer experience, board-photo archives, safer shared-device use, and full backup and restore.
Capture custom orders, manage customer records, store completed boards, and keep the bay-side workflow searchable on-device.
Surfers get a free personal quiver with their own board inventory, past orders, and a private profile flow designed for shared devices.
Add one local photo per board or quiver entry, keep thumbnails in the archive, and restore those photos with full backups.
Send a single structured order file through Files, Messages, AirDrop, or Mail instead of dumping specs into raw text threads.
Export the complete local archive, including orders, boards, quiver entries, board photos, and linked surfer profile data stored on that iPhone.
Turn on Face ID or device-passcode protection for Shaper Mode before handing an iPhone or iPad to a customer in the shaping bay.
Two experiences
ShapeFlow separates the shop workflow from the surfer experience on purpose.
The app now treats shaper and surfer use as distinct roles instead of one blurry archive. That keeps the shop organized and makes shared-device use feel more trustworthy.
For Shapers
Shop workflowRun the production side of the custom-order process without losing customer history or board context.
- Guided order capture with customer records and board history.
- Shop-facing board archive kept separate from surfer-added quiver boards.
- Optional one-time unlock for unlimited customer storage.
- Face ID or passcode protection for Shaper Mode on shared devices.
- Full `.sfb` backups for the local archive and board photos.
For Surfers
Personal sideBuild better custom orders, keep your own board history, and store a photo-backed quiver on the same install.
- Explicit profile setup or link flow for privacy on shared shop devices.
- Personal order history and free My Quiver inventory.
- Manual quiver boards with dimensions, notes, and one local photo per board.
- Cleaner `.sfo` order sharing back to the shaper.
- Quiver entries and board photos included in full-device `.sfb` backups.
Files and recovery
Local-first does not have to mean fragile.
ShapeFlow uses two file types on purpose. One is for moving a single order cleanly. The other is for protecting the full archive on the device, including photos and role-linked data.
Use this when a surfer or assistant wants to send one structured order into the shaper workflow.
Use this when the device owner wants to export or restore the full local archive, including board photos and quiver data.
Shaper Mode can stay locked behind Face ID or the device passcode, while surfer mode remains available for customer-facing use.
Operating rhythm
Choose, capture, share, archive.
Choose the role
Open Shaper Mode for the shop workflow or Surfer Mode for the customer-facing side of the app.
Capture the right record
Build a custom order, add a board record, or store a personal quiver board with notes and a photo.
Share the clean payload
Move one order with `.sfo`, not a screenshot pile or a long message thread that loses structure.
Protect the archive
Export a full `.sfb` backup so the local archive, board photos, and quiver history are recoverable later.
Frequently asked questions
What people usually want to know before they put ShapeFlow into a real shop workflow.
Does ShapeFlow require a cloud account or login?
No. ShapeFlow is designed to work locally on iPhone without requiring a ShapeFlow account in the current release.
Is surfer mode free, and can surfers keep their own quiver?
Yes. Surfer mode includes a free My Quiver experience for personal board inventory, order history, and board photos on that device.
What is the difference between `.sfo` and `.sfb`?
`.sfo` is a single structured order file. `.sfb` is a full local backup file that can restore the archive, quiver boards, and board photos on the device.
Can I hand the device to a surfer without exposing the shaper workspace?
Yes. Shaper Mode can be protected with Face ID or the device passcode so the shop workspace stays locked on shared devices.
Are board photos and quiver boards included in backups?
Yes. Full `.sfb` backups include board records, surfer quiver boards, and the local board photos saved on that iPhone.
Do backups restore App Store purchases too?
No. Backups restore local app data. App Store purchase entitlement still restores separately through Apple’s purchase system.
