Learn why this is superior
Dissolve the holes in your day
Other booking software lets clients book anywhere in your day. Gaps form. Someone books at the start of your day; another at the end. Now youâre stuck waiting between appointments. Itâs a swiss cheese đ§ schedule. And it wonât happen with Hummingbook.
See gaps vs gapless days
Win clients over before ever meeting
Like a TSA agent in Terminal 3 on Christmas eve, most booking apps are sterile⌠robotic⌠cold. Not here. Hummingbook is warm đ and chock-full of personality, đ just like you. And it better beâyour booking system is your first impression. Make it count! đ
Learn about emotional design
Ask clients custom questions
Asking clients the same thing over and over is a slog and a half. But their answers are important. They might change how long a service will take, how much it will cost, or what supplies you need. Have Hummingbook ask everyone, everytime.
See some example questions
Give yourself some wiggle room
Need some time between each appointment? Then cushioning is for you. Sanitize, take notes, prep for your next one, play Tiny Wings, or give yourself some wiggle room for clients that take longer than expected. Running behind just became a thing of the past.
See cushioning on & off
Your 24/7 boundary setter
I know what youâre thinking. âThis is great and all, Christian, but thereâs no way it can book like me.â First: Iâm flattered you know my name already! Thank you! đ Send me a text and say hi! Second: I hear you. But are you so sure? Can you book people in your sleep? Do you have the boundaries needed to say no to Trisha who is always wanting to âsqueeze inâ last minute? Can you send out reminders day and night to make sure clients show? What about deposits? Hummingbook does all these things (and more). Take your life back and push that buttonâŚ

So easy for everyone to use
âSooooo⌠I posted my link on fb. Got 3 new clients to book via Hummingbook. Itâs so easy for everyone to use⌠and I love the ânotesâ peeps write me! Do u know that I LOVE you?! đâ

You belong here
Imagine if I lived with you. If I saw you get buried under a mountain of âwhen can you get me in?â texts every morning. Watched your head hang low over no shows. Comforted your cries after horrible clients haggled with you. And felt your urge to quit, even though you love your job (you just detest the admin side). Stop imagining: I *did* live with you⌠well⌠someone just like you. I experienced it. And then I built Hummingbook to erase your pain.

Set free from my phone
âNo words for how in love I am! The efficiency of Hummingbook has given me back countless hours of my life both professionally and personally. Iâm no longer a slave to my phone and schedule! Not sure if anybody has reached out to you or not, but I have given your information to at least five, maybe six, people about Hummingbook! Truly the Best!â
Read more reviews16 fears you might have (and how to stop being a scaredy-cat đ)
My hours change too much.
Do your kids have crazy sports schedules? Do you like meeting up with friends last minute? Are things just never quite the same week to week?
Hummingbook can hang.
You never have to have a set hours. Leave your schedule totally clear. Then add in your availability once you know when you want to work.
And even if you do have a set scheduleâbut it changes frequentlyâitâs dead-simple to adjust.
Friend visiting from San Diego for the weekend? Delete Friday and Saturday in two taps.
Want to carve out the afternoon for your mom on Wednesday? Long press on your Wednesday and drag the handle to cut your day in half.
Want to sleep in and start later on all your Mondays? Just change the upcoming Monday and tap âFor All Future Eventsâ. Sweet. You just changed all your Mondays for eternityâin a couple taps.
There is nothing to login in to. You just pop open your iPhone Calendar and change the blocks in your âAvailabilityâ calendar. Easy peasy.
I like to plan only a week out.
Thatâs totally ok. You never have to have a set schedule or set hours.
Go ahead and leave your schedule totally clear; uncommitted to any hours at all. Then add in your availability once you know when you want to work.
Maybe you plan, for instance, every Sunday. No problem. Just flip your phone into landscape view, and plunk in some availability blocks. Itâll take all of two minutes. Then let your clients know the next week is open.
My schedule is too complex.
Itâs not. I promise.
Do you need every other Saturday and Sunday off to watch the kids? No problem.
Have a lake day with friends every 3rd Friday of each month which you want to make sure doesnât get booked? No problem.
Early movie night with the bff on Tuesdays? No problem.
Hummingbook can handle your spontaneous ways.
Iâll get caught off guard with a last minute booking.
Nope. Wonât happen.
You tell Hummingbook how much buffer you want. 24 hours is the default. That means clients canât book within the next 24 hours.
Itâs Friday night. (Well, technically 1 am Saturday morning. But whoâs counting?) Youâre drowning Fireballs and White Claw like youâre Britney Spears after the premier of âToxic.â Even though your availability is set to Saturday 10:00am to 6:00pm, youâre protected.
Clients wonât be able to book a Saturday appt because you have a 24 hour buffer in place.
You choose how many hours you want your buffer to be.
Someone will book too far in advance and kill my vacation.
Nope again. Vacation protection means clients can only book as many days out as you set in Hummingbook. Make it crazy short like one week. Or keep it standard at three months. Or let clients book a year or even two out.
You choose how many days out your clients are able to book.
Iâll have to have a set schedule (which I donât have).
While most people do have set schedules, you donât have to. Be free as a bird. How? Only draw in availability blocks when youâre feeling it. And nothing has to repeat. You can draw in one-offs every week if you want.
Hummingbook wonât book like I do.
Are you so sure? Can you book people in your sleep? Do you have the boundaries needed to say no to Trisha whoâs always wanting to âsqueeze inâ last minute? Can you send out reminders day and night to make sure clients show? What about deposits? Hummingbook does all this and more.
I wonât control my schedule anymore; a computer will.
Wrong. You tell Hummingbook what to do. You give it rules to follow. And then it follows them. Itâs like your programming an assistant. But that assistant is never hungover, distracted with Instagram, or âstuck in trafficâ again.
I only work part time.
Hummingbook doesnât judge⌠but I do! Shame on you, Becky! Work more! đ¤Łđ¤Şđ
For real Hummingbook does not care. You might only work Friday nights, Saturdays, and random Sundays for a couple hours.
Thatâs perfectly fine. Iâm not here to tell you how to run your lifeâjust your booking! đ
Hummingbook will fill as much (or as little) time as you want. And bonus: you donât have to post your hours out in the open on a profile page. Hummingbook keeps your schedule private.
If clients can book willy-nilly, theyâll turn my schedule into Swiss cheese.
Not if you have gapless booking turned on. Hummingbook books your appointments back to back, just like you do. Read all about gapless booking.
Remember: You are in charge of when you work. Set as few or as many availability blocks as you want. Scatter them throughout your week as you want. Make them repeat. Or donât and play it by ear each week. Change them up as often as you like. All from your iPhone Calendar.
Certain clients take longer than others.
Not a problem. Hummingbook notifies you every time someone books.
So if you see bald Bob booked a 30 minutes menâs haircut (your standard duration for a menâs haircut), you can hop into your iPhone Calendar and reduce the duration.
Or, if Haley has the mane of a Clydesdale, and you know sheâll be extra, you can bump up her time.
Let Hummingbook do the heavy lifting of getting clients into your calendar. You can fine tune the corner cases after, if needed.
PS: Notifying clients after you make a change is easy. Just hop into the notes section of the appointment. Then hold down on Haleyâs number (or email). Your iPhone will fire up a text (or email) to her. Itâs fast.
Randoms will be able to book me.
Only if you post your booking link somewhere public like Facebook, Instagram, etc. You can sleep tight knowing we never publish your link on our site.
To protect from randos, hold your link tight to your chest and only send it to pre-screened clients.
Btw, hereâs my booking link: hummingbook.com/@ctessmer.
Feel free to take it for a spin. Yours will look just like this; with a different username of course.
My calendar will be exposed to the world.
Never.
You might be thinking of other booking software that shows clients a grid; your whole week laid out with which slots are taken and which are not; when youâre working and when youâre not.
Thatâs not how Hummingbook works.
Hummingbook only shows your available time slotsânot what other clients booked. See an example of what your clients see when they book with you.
My clients wonât use it because they donât like change.
Jennyâs clients say otherwise. So do Leslieâs clients. And Danaâs. And the first client Mark used it on was a snapâzero issues.
Most people have this same fear. And theyâre clients debunk it within minutes.
On the contrary, you might not realize your clients are frustrated with you. Frustrated that it takes you hours to get back with them. Which, of course, you canât speed up, because youâre busy WORKING!
The catch-22 is very real!
To the original point: Youâre right. Most people donât like changeâŚÂ untilâŚÂ that change saves them time, money, or energy. Hummingbook will do all three. For you. For your clients. Because, unlike you, itâs ready to book 24/7. That means more bookings. And happier clients.
Iâm not good with directions; I need to be walked through things.
No sweat at all! I do this for anyone who asksâlike Leslie didâand Iâll do it for you.
PS, thereâs a great side effect to these meetings: youâll learn how to use your iPhone better.
A customer said this to me: âOh my gosh, this is worth the price of the service in and of itself!â
The âthisâ in this case was helping her turn off portrait lock. The poor thing couldn't FaceTime and charge at the same time.
Hummingbook isnât just about booking clients, but rather, itâs about becoming more proficient with that $1000 computer in your pocketâno tech degree necessary.
Iâve booked this way forever.
You probably also used to fax, write letters, use a typewriter, and (gasp) call people on the phone. Now you text them because itâs way easier.
Was there a little learning curve? Sure. But now texting second nature.
That is exactly what will happen booking clients with Hummingbook.
In fact, if youâre already booking clients into iPhone Calendar manually, using Hummingbook will be an absolute breeze. (Donât worry if not; I got you covered!)
Aside: I remember when my mom started texting. She used to send every message like this:
Dear Son,
This is your mom. How are you doing today? Are the llamas doing ok? What about the chickens?
Love,
Your mom
In case you missed it, that was every text message. I soon broke the news. âMom, you donât need to ID yourself on every text, I kinda know who you areâŚâ
In a way I kinda wish I never told her⌠it was quite hilarious⌠đ¤Ł
More controlânot less
Listen. I know youâre afraid. Afraid to loose control of your schedule. You might be thinking Hummingbook is like everything else out there: mechanical, rigid online booking. Nope. I made Hummingbook different. It books like a humanâlike you. Itâs friendly. And youâll actually *gain* control. Youâll keep better boundaries with your clients. All without losing the day-to-day flexibility that you love about manual booking.

My clients love it
âI ask every single client how it went. Literally everybody loves it. Thereâs not a single one that doesnât. This is what they say: âI was scared. I donât know anything about computers. Websites freak me out. But this? Soooo easy.â â

PS: Yes, thatâs my real number; the same one my mom has. Itâs not some spam trap. I won't be able to give out my number forever. So text me now.
You got this!
Change is scary. But if you keep doing what youâve always done (manually booking), youâll keep getting what youâve always gotten (stress, no-shows, clients walking all over you). You can end it today. And Iâm here to hold your hand every step of the way. But I canât help you unless you push that button. Or, at least, get on my mailing list so I can help you grow and get better, even if you donât use Hummingbook (yet).

Super FAST support
âListen Christian. I want to say: Iâve never met anyone more attentive. You respond in seconds. Youâre lightning fast. Nobody makes me laugh like you do. I never even shook your hand and I f&#*ing love you. Dude this is lovely. This is just terrific.â
