Built for post-production.
Stream multi-terabyte projects on demand. Edit directly from the cloud. Ship to clients without round-tripping through a laptop SSD.
Stream-on-demand
Mount a 50 TB library as a Finder folder. Only the blocks you open get cached locally — a project takes no disk until you reach into it.
Edge-accelerated uploads
Your Mac uploads directly to the nearest Cloudflare edge. Parallel multipart PUTs saturate gigabit links when your ISP allows.
You hold the keys
Your R2 account. Your PostgreSQL metadata. Your audit trail. Cancel anytime and your data walks out with you — intact, in plain S3 format.
Seat-less collaboration
Share files and folders with anyone — inside or outside the studio. Links open in Finder on Macs that have Bowsprit, fall back to a web viewer elsewhere.
Signed & notarized app
The macOS client is an Apple Developer ID-notarized DMG. No “unidentified developer” warnings, no kernel extensions — installs clean on every team Mac.
Web + native
Full file browser in every modern browser. Native Mac app with Finder integration, right-click actions, and offline pinning.
How it works.
No complex setup. Connect your R2 bucket, install the Mac app, and your studio is online in under an hour.
Bring your R2 bucket
Point Bowsprit at a Cloudflare R2 account. We never touch your credentials beyond what's needed to read and write your bucket.
Install the Mac app
Signed, notarized DMG. Drag to Applications, sign in once, and a Bowsprit folder appears in every user's Finder sidebar.
Work like it's local
Open a 4K ProRes file, scrub through it, leave comments, hand off to a colleague. Bytes stream on demand; nothing clogs your SSD.
Honest pricing.
Competitors charge $20–$30 per user every month — so a 10-person studio spends $200–$300 before touching storage. Bowsprit Team starts at $59/mo for the first 5 seats, with extra seats at $10. You pay Cloudflare directly for R2 storage at $0.015/GB/mo with zero egress.

What a 10-person studio pays elsewhere
Monthly cost for a 10-user team on each platform's mid-tier. Storage extra and usually marked up on top.
Figures from each vendor's public pricing page; accurate at time of writing. Bowsprit's Team tier at 10 seats ($109/mo) is ~64% cheaper than Lucid Studio and ~55% cheaper than Dropbox Business.
All tiers include the Mac app, web browser, SSE-backed real-time sync, shareable links, and the full REST API. R2 storage and bandwidth are billed by Cloudflare directly at their published rates — Bowsprit never touches the data plane or marks storage up.
