Discovery call — Vault Works
Migrating off Salesforce + Notion + Airtable. 18 designers needing CRM-light workflows. Probably not the right fit for design-team-as-buyers; thinking pipeline, not design ops.

The Math

Log a call and follow up
without leaving the screen.

In a typical CRM, even a simple "I just talked to a client, here's what we said" is a tab-switching marathon. In Carton, your notes, contacts, and tasks are already next to each other.

Features

Every pane you need. One window.
Every keystroke earns its place.

Carton borrows from tiling window managers and brings them to a CRM. Your whole workflow lives on one screen.

Tile your whole workflow

Contact, Pipeline, Tasks, Notes, Email, Billing — every part of your day gets its own pane. ⌘↩ splits a pane right, ⌘⇧↩ splits down, ⌘W closes. No more tab-juggling between five SaaS tools that don't talk to each other.

Workspaces, like a tiling WM

Save different layouts for different jobs. Workspace 1 is your morning triage. Workspace 2 is deep-focus on a single deal. Workspace 3 is end-of-day review. ⌘T opens a new one, click a tab to switch.

Quotes & invoicing, built-in

Draft a quote. Convert it to an invoice. Pull customer data straight from your contacts. No Stripe Sales tab limbo.

One pin, every pane follows

Pin a contact with ⌘⌥A. Tasks, email, billing, notes, activity — every pane filters to that person. Toggle a single pane out with ⌘⌥L; clear the pin with ⌘⌥.. Tag chips (#investor, #client) work the same way.

Email next to your pipeline

Your inbox isn't a separate world. Read an email and see the deal it belongs to without switching apps. Drafts auto-save. Attachments inline. ⌃⇧E to compose from anywhere.

Discover the keymap as you type

Hit ⌘/ to see every shortcut for the focused pane. ⌘[ / ⌘] walk panes, ⌘↑ / ⌘↓ walk records, ⌘⌫ deletes with a confirm. No documentation tax. Mouse still works, of course.

Your keyboard is ready.
