Your schedule, organised
Manage your availability and appointments in one place. Sync with Google Calendar or Outlook, and share what you want with your studio.
The problem
Scheduling shouldn't be this painful
- Personal calendar mixed with work
- Dentist appointments next to tattoo sessions. It's hard to see your actual availability at a glance.
- No availability management
- You're manually checking your calendar before confirming every booking. Double-bookings happen too easily.
- Studio conflicts
- Your studio doesn't know when you're in. You don't know when your chair is free. Everyone's guessing.
