Software escrow features that work for developers
We get it — you'd rather be coding than dealing with lawyers and manual processes. That's why we've built these features specifically for you — developers who need software escrow but don't want it to become a second job.
Powered by Codekeeper — the infrastructure behind thousands of enterprise software escrow agreements.
Traditional escrow setups treat developers as an afterthought.
While you're trying to build and maintain great software, you're forced to waste precious development time on manual uploads and sitting through legal negotiations.
