Calendar & scheduling

Keptbookings’s calendar gives you day, week, and month views with per-service buffers built in, so your schedule reflects how you actually work — turnover time included. Everything syncs in real time, so online bookings, walk-ins, and personal blocks never collide.

  • Day, week and month (and multi-month) views — no missing calendar views.
  • Per-service duration, processing time and buffers (e.g. color gaps).
  • Drag-to-reschedule and block-off time.
  • Timezone-correct for you and traveling clients.

See Your Day, Week, or Month at a Glance

Different moments call for different views. The day view keeps you focused on what’s next; the week view helps you spot gaps you could fill; the month view lets you plan around busy seasons, time off, and that wedding party booking three weeks out. Keptbookings gives you all three without clutter or a learning curve.

Every appointment carries the client’s name, service, and notes, so you’re never flipping between screens to remember who’s coming and what they want. It’s your whole business laid out clearly enough to run from your phone between clients.

  • Day, week, and full month views
  • Per-service buffers for cleanup and turnover
  • Real-time sync across online bookings and manual entries
  • Client name, service, and notes visible on each appointment

Buffers That Stop Back-to-Back Burnout

A calendar that ignores turnover time is a recipe for a frantic day. Keptbookings lets you attach a buffer to each service, so a color that needs cleanup gets the gap it deserves while a quick trim doesn’t waste space. Clients can only book slots that already account for that buffer — they never see a time that would leave you scrambling.

Because the buffer is per service rather than one blanket setting, your schedule breathes exactly where it needs to. You finish the day on time instead of running thirty minutes behind by noon, and you protect the breaks that keep you sane.

One Calendar, No Double-Bookings

The fastest way to lose a client’s trust is to double-book them. Keptbookings treats your calendar as the single source of truth: when an online booking comes in, that time is instantly blocked everywhere; when you add a walk-in or personal appointment, online availability updates at once. There’s no lag and no overlap.

For small teams, each provider has their own availability and buffers, so a six-person shop runs as smoothly as a solo chair. Everyone sees what they need to see, and the schedule stays accurate no matter how the booking came in.

Built to Run From Your Phone, Between Clients

You’re not at a desk — you’re at the chair, and the moments you have to manage your day are the thirty seconds between a rinse and a blow-dry. Keptbookings’s calendar is built for exactly that: fast to open, easy to read at a glance, and quick to update with a tap. You can add a walk-in, block a break, or check who’s next without breaking your stride.

Each appointment surfaces the client’s name, the booked service, any deposit status, and a no-show flag if there is one — so you walk into every appointment already knowing the context. It’s the difference between reacting to your day and running it.

  • Glanceable day, week, and month views on mobile
  • Add walk-ins or blocks in a couple of taps
  • See deposit status and no-show flags per appointment

Questions, answered

Can I set different turnover times for different services?

Yes. Buffers are configured per service, so a long color appointment can carry a generous cleanup gap while a quick service has little or none. Clients only ever see slots that already include the right buffer.

Does the calendar prevent double-bookings?

Completely. Your calendar is the single source of truth — online bookings, walk-ins, and personal blocks all update availability in real time, so any given slot can only be taken once.

Can I block out personal time or breaks?

Yes. Add personal appointments, breaks, or full days off directly to your calendar and that time instantly becomes unavailable to online bookings.

Does it work for a team with multiple providers?

Yes. The Team plan supports up to six providers, each with their own availability, services, and buffers, all rolled into one shared view so the whole shop stays coordinated.

Can I manage the calendar from my phone?

Yes. Keptbookings’s calendar is built to run from your phone between clients — quick to read, quick to update, with day, week, and month views always a tap away.
