Document Tracking · the DocSend alternative, included in SoloWOS

Document tracking: share a PDF and see what gets read

Send a link instead of an attachment, and switch it off when you're done.

Upload a PDF and share it as a link. You see each visit and roughly how long every page stayed on screen. Links can expire on a date, and you can revoke one at any time.

IN SHORT

With SoloWOS Document Tracking, freelancers and solopreneurs can share PDFs with tracked links. It covers what most people use DocSend for, and works on its own or alongside the other 12 SoloWOS tools. It isn't sold separately: Basic includes 10 tracked documents for $2/month, and Solo includes 50 tracked documents for $15/month. Team costs $35/month for up to 3 users.

What you can do with Document Tracking

Access controls

Ask for an email before the document opens, add a passcode, set an expiration date, and decide whether downloads are allowed.

NDA before viewing

Make visitors accept a confidentiality agreement, typed name included, before the document loads. Start from the built-in template or paste your own text.

Page-level insight

If the visitor consents, you see about how long each page was on screen. You can tell which pages they read and which they skipped.

Revoke instantly

Turn off a link and the document stops loading, even for people who already have the URL.

Optional watermark

Stamp the viewer's email or IP, the date and the time across every page, plus your own line like “Confidential”. Downloads get the same stamp.

Estimates labeled as estimates

We only show data visitors agree to share. Reading times are approximate, and the dashboard says so.

How Document Tracking connects to the other tools

None of this is required. If you also use these tools, Document Tracking already works with them:

What Document Tracking doesn't do

Document Tracking covers the everyday jobs people use DocSend for, and leaves out the rest on purpose. It doesn't have:

  • DRM or screenshot blocking
  • Guaranteed visitor identification
  • Data rooms with folders of documents

DocSend is a trademark of its owner. SoloWOS is not affiliated with or endorsed by DocSend.

Document Tracking questions

Can you stop screenshots?
No. No tool can really prevent screenshots, and we don't claim to. You can turn on a watermark that prints the viewer's email (or IP), the date and the time across every page, so a leaked screenshot shows who took it. You can also disable downloads and revoke the link.
Can I require an NDA before someone reads the document?
Yes. Turn on the NDA for a link and visitors have to accept it with their name before the PDF loads. You see who accepted and when.
How accurate is reading time?
Roughly. It's based on which page is visible while the tab is active, so ad blockers or a laptop closed mid-read can throw it off.
Is Document Tracking sold separately?
No. Document Tracking comes with every SoloWOS plan, including Basic, along with the other 12 tools. Basic costs $2/month and includes 10 tracked documents. Solo is $15/month for one user with 50 tracked documents, and Team is $35/month for up to 3 users. Every limit is published.
Can I use Document Tracking without the other tools?
Yes. Document Tracking works on its own, and you never have to open the other tools. Connecting it to them is optional.
