Built for businesses that answer their own phone
TidyBookings gives a small service business a booking page set up for its trade, so clients can book, move and cancel appointments without a phone call.
The phone rings while you work
In a small salon, practice or studio, the phone rings while you're with a client. You let it go to voicemail, call back between appointments, and sometimes the time they wanted is gone by then. The appointment book stays at the front desk, so nobody can check it from home. When a client cancels late, nobody else hears that the time is free.
TidyBookings gives that business a booking page set up for its trade. Pick one of ten trades, such as hair salon or dental office, and your starting services, opening hours and booking rules are already filled in. You change what's different about your business and share the link. Clients book from the times you have free, get a confirmation and a reminder by email, and can move or cancel the booking themselves until the cutoff you set.

Four rules we build by
- Truth over hype
- Every claim on this site is true of the product today. TidyBookings is new, so in place of customer quotes and ratings we show the product itself: the real starting setups for each trade and demo booking pages you can book with.
- Your clients' booking comes first
- The booking page is the part of TidyBookings your clients see, and it carries your name. It gets the most care: a few clear steps, only times you have free, booking as a guest with a name and email, and a confirmation they can add to their own calendar.
- Sensible defaults first
- A trade preset fills in services, durations, opening hours and booking rules that suit your kind of business. You start from a working setup and change only what's different about yours.
- Your time is the scarce part
- In a business of one to ten people, the owner is often the receptionist too. Each part of TidyBookings should take a job off that list: taking bookings by phone, calling to remind, finding a new time when plans change.
