For podiatrists
Your patients will not use an app. Their children will
Half your list is over seventy and will not book online. The other half is sons and daughters booking from work or at eleven at night. This is built for both: the first lot phone or turn up and you enter them; the second lot come in and leave with a date.

Half an hour and three quarters in one morning. The forty-five day reviews are half this list.
The first thing we hear
“My patients are eighty. They are not going to use a website.”
Many will not, and they do not need to. First: in this trade the people booking online are usually the children, from a phone, at whatever hour suits them. Second: you can switch on guest booking, and then a name and an email are enough — no account, no password — and a link arrives by email so they can cancel if they cannot come. Third: whoever turns up unbooked you enter yourself, with a name, in two taps, and they land in the day at the time they came in. Nobody has to learn anything to go on being your patient.
What gets lost between one review and the next
Two are about scheduling. The first is not.
The review that happened at four months
On a diabetic foot, forty-five days is a deadline rather than a suggestion. The patient who comes back when it hurts comes back with something that could have been dealt with in March.
The phone ringing while you work
You have your hands on somebody’s foot and the phone rings to ask whether there is anything on Thursday. You answer badly, write it on a scrap of paper, and later the paper is nowhere.
The next date on a scrap of paper
You write the next appointment down for them and the paper disappears into a handbag. There is no confirmation, no reminder, and forty-five days later nothing happens.
What brings the patient back in forty-five days
Starting with the only thing that makes a next date exist.
The next date, before they leave
You decide how many appointments a patient may book with you, and it arrives switched off: they leave with the review in forty-five days already chosen, with a day and a time, instead of on a scrap of paper. Bookings open two months ahead, so that review always fits. If you do set a cap, leave it high: it counts the reviews already done as well.
The reminder goes to whoever booked
An email the day before, once, with the day, the time and your service name. It goes to the address that booked: if the daughter made it from hers, the daughter gets it — which in this trade is usually exactly what you want. And here is the small print, because it matters more in this trade than in any other: the reminder goes out for every booking with an email: booked online, with an account or as a guest, or entered by you with their email. One you enter without an email carries none.
The one who turns up with an ingrown nail
No appointment, and no waiting until Thursday. You enter them by hand with a name, no account and no email, and they are filed at the time they arrived, in the day where it actually happened.
Both places you work
A private, read-only feed for Google Calendar or your phone. If you work in a practice and also in a care home, this is where the two sit beside the rest of your week. The feed goes out, not in.
Half an hour and three quarters
Every window you publish is an appointment at its own length: thirty minutes for a review, forty-five for a full treatment. There is no global duration forcing you to sell the same thing every time.
How it works
Three steps, and the middle one is no longer yours.
- 1
Your dashboard
Publish your hours
Set your week once: which days you work and at what hours, how long an appointment lasts and the break you want between them, and your hours are split into times clients can book. Services can each have their own length. Then add the one-off dates and the days you are closed.
- 2
What your client sees
Your clients book themselves
At any hour, from their own account. They pick a slot that is open and the booking is taken then and there, with the day and the time in their own list. Two people cannot end up with the same slot: the database refuses the second booking outright, rather than leaving you to catch it afterwards.

Your dashboard
You collect the deposit and the calendar fills
If you ask for a deposit, the client transfers the money and uploads the receipt, and the deposit is settled once you approve it from your dashboard. A reminder goes out the day before and, if someone cancels, the waitlist hears about it by email.

Common questions
What people ask before they start.
Does the patient have to create an account?
That is up to you. If you turn guest booking on — it arrives switched off — a name and an email are enough: no account, no password, and the booking is confirmed by email with a link to cancel if they cannot come. Leave it off and anybody booking online needs an account with a confirmed email address. Either way, the day-before reminder goes out by email: the only bookings without one are those you enter without an email.
The review is every forty-five days. Can they book it before they leave?
Yes, as long as the cap on appointments per patient leaves room — and since it counts reviews already done, the simplest thing in this trade is to leave it off. Bookings open two months ahead, so a review at forty-five fits with room to spare. It is the difference between a patient who comes back by calendar and one who comes back in pain.
Can I enter an appointment for somebody who phoned me?
Not for a future date: what you enter by hand is somebody who is arriving, and it is filed against the clock, within the hour. For next Thursday the booking is made on your page — by the patient, by a son or daughter, or by you, filling in the guest booking with their name and email. We say it plainly because it is the question this trade asks most.
Do my clients need an account?
That is up to you. Switch guest booking on — it arrives switched off — and a name and an email are enough: no account, no password, the booking is confirmed by email, and that same link is how they cancel. Leave it off and the client creates an account with a confirmed email address, and in exchange sees all their bookings in one place and cancels the ones they cannot make. Either way, they get the reminder by email the day before.
How do deposits work?
You decide whether to ask for a deposit, how much, and in which currency, and you write the transfer instructions your clients see. They transfer the money and upload the receipt; you look at it and approve or reject it from your dashboard. Until you approve it, the receipt shows as pending.
What happens when someone cancels?
Your dashboard updates without a reload. If nobody is waiting on that day, the slot goes back on the public list immediately. If people are queued, the freed slot is emailed to the first few of them and held for half an hour: for that stretch it is offered to nobody else, and the first of them to take it keeps it. If none of them does, it goes back on the public list.
Can I plug it into my website or my calendar?
Yes. There is a widget to paste into your page, so clients book without leaving your site, and an ICS feed you subscribe to from Google Calendar, Outlook or your phone. The feed is read-only: appointments flow into your calendar, but what you put in Google does not block hours here.
Does it work if I also see people without a booking?
Yes. Whoever turns up unbooked you enter by hand, with a name and no account, and they are filed at the time they arrived. And if you want air between two appointments, set a break between appointments in your schedule, and those minutes never reach whoever is booking.
How much does it cost?
The first 30 days are free, with everything included and no card. After that it is a flat monthly subscription: the same price whether you take ten appointments or two hundred, with no commission per booking or per deposit. If you decide not to continue, nothing is charged and your data stays where it is.
