The Trusted Platform for Academic Recommendations

Secure, Respectful RecommendationLetters

A warm, trustworthy platform where students request and share recommendation letters, and faculty write and manage them—all with consent-based access and bank-grade encryption.

How It Works

Simple Steps for Everyone

Whether you're a student building your academic portfolio or faculty managing recommendations, we've made the process warm, trustworthy, and professional.

1

Sign Up & Verify

Create your account using your academic email (.edu, .ac.uk, etc.). Verify your email and build your profile.

2

Request Recommendations

Add faculty by email, specify the purpose (job, MS, PhD, scholarship, immigration), target organization, and deadline.

3

Track Your Requests

See the status of each request (Requested, In Progress, Completed) on your dashboard.

4

Share with Consent

Generate secure links with optional expiration dates and view limits. Track where each letter has been shared.

Automated & Secure
Trust & Security

Built for Privacy First

Security and compliance aren't afterthoughts—they're first-class requirements baked into every feature.

Data Encrypted

All data is encrypted at rest and in transit. Server-side encryption for all uploaded PDFs and sensitive fields.

Access Controlled

Role-based access ensures students, faculty, and admins only see what they're authorized to see.

Consent Built-in

Every shareable link is tied to a student consent record. Nothing is shared without explicit permission.

Share Once, Control the Time

Create permission-based links with full control over when access begins and ends.

View Tracking & Audit

Every link view is logged (IP, timestamp, user agent). See exactly where and when your letters were accessed.

Revoke Anytime

Faculty can withdraw an RL anytime. Students can revoke shared links instantly if needed.
