About Tarkle
Tarkle (formerly Reel, Inc.) started in September 2021 with one simple product: Reel Unlimited, a design service for digital agencies. Since then, we’ve grown into a startup studio that builds and buys software tools that help startups and digital agencies grow.
Our Products:
Reel Unlimited: A design subscription service that agencies trust for their daily design needs. Started in 2021, it’s still our most popular service.
ProRequests: We built ProRequests because we needed it ourselves. While running our design subscription, we tried every client portal out there, but none really fit. So we made the one we always wanted – simple, powerful, and actually affordable. Now, other agencies can use it, too.
Cloudbrand: When sharing files with our design clients through Dropbox, we always wished we could use our own branding and domain name. We couldn’t find a solution, so we built Cloudbrand. Now, hundreds of agencies use it to share files with their own branding.
Gatly: Running events for our design subscription taught us how expensive event platforms can be. We built Gatly so startups can host private team events or public ticketed events, all on their own branded pages.
Brandpress: As our team grew, we struggled with brand consistency across projects. What began as a feature in Cloudbrand evolved into Brandpress—a minimal brand management platform that provides a beautiful, custom-domain brand portal completely free until you need advanced features.
At Tarkle, we build tools that fix real problems. We started with one service and grew into many, but our goal stays the same: making life easier for digital agencies.
