Changelog

New features, improvements, and fixes in Barberwise.

3.1.1

August 26, 2026

A much faster calendar, and smarter scheduling

The busy day view is 3× faster, new bookings land in realtime, plus a smarter time picker, calendar invites in emails, and more reliable online booking.

The redesigned appointments day view and slot finder

Appointments

  • When you add or move an appointment, the time picker now shows how busy each day is at a glance, so you can find a free slot faster.
  • On your phone, placing, moving, and resizing appointments now works smoothly.
  • You can now edit a single appointment in a recurring series right in the app.
  • We’ve made recurring appointments more reliable.
  • Improved the add and edit appointment experience on both desktop and mobile.

Calendar

  • New online bookings appear on your staff calendar in realtime — no refresh needed.
  • The busy day view with many barbers is 3× faster: the freeze while it renders dropped from ~1.2s to under 0.4s, with half as many elements on screen.
  • Extra opening hours you add for a day now show in the calendar, and customers can book into them.
  • Days off are clearly marked, and a line shows the current time at a glance.
  • Selecting a time slot stays within a single day and column, so it’s more predictable on touch.

Online booking

  • Your booking page now accounts even more accurately for breaks, exceptions, and closed days.
  • When customers reschedule, they only see times that are genuinely available.
  • Customers can now cancel or reschedule their own booking up to 24 hours before the appointment (previously 1 hour).
  • On iPhone, tapping a field in the booking form no longer zooms the page.

Customer emails

  • Booking confirmation and reschedule emails now include a calendar invite, so customers can add the appointment to their own calendar in one tap. When an appointment moves, the calendar event updates itself.

Team & locations

  • After accepting a team invite, you land back where you started once you log in or sign up.
  • Admins can now add new locations, not just the shop owner.

Accessibility

  • Screen-reader support is improved across the booking flow, the customer list, and form errors.

Reliability

  • After we ship an update, a normal refresh now loads the latest version — no hard refresh needed.

Smarter booking and scheduling

Smoother appointment management, more reliable online booking, and clearer emails.

Appointments

  • When you add an appointment, the right location and barber are now filled in automatically, based on where you start in the calendar.
  • When you reschedule, you only see the days the barber actually works.
  • You can now mark a customer as a “no-show” (and undo it), and filter on it in the calendar.
  • Services can be set per barber, so the right services belong to the right team member.

Online booking

  • Customers can no longer book outside your opening hours, in the past, or too far ahead.
  • Times in the booking widget now show in the location’s own timezone.
  • Customers can now reschedule an appointment on the same day too.

  • Customers automatically get an “appointment updated” email when an appointment is moved.

Smoother experience on phones and tablets, plus more reliable break and schedule management.

Mobile

  • Panels and sheets on mobile now use the full available screen height, including on Safari where the close button was sometimes cut off.
  • Owners and managers can now book outside normal opening hours or off the standard slot grid on mobile, just as on desktop.

Appointments

  • When you edit a break and reassign it to a different barber, the change now saves correctly.
  • The break end time picker now moves in 5-minute steps, matching how appointment times work.
  • Dragging to create a new appointment no longer accidentally selects text on the page.

Online booking

3.0.4

June 19, 2026

Booking reliability

More reliable available times for customers, and a full customer history in each appointment.

Online booking

  • Available time slots are now shown correctly across week boundaries that span two months, so customers never see an empty or broken picker.
  • Time slots stay aligned to the barber’s own schedule — not the location’s opening hours — giving a more accurate picture of what’s bookable.
  • Available times now show correctly when clocks change (daylight saving), so there are no gaps or duplicate slots.
  • Back-to-back bookings work as expected when you’ve turned off the gap between appointments.

Appointments

  • The appointment sidebar now shows a customer’s other upcoming and past visits, so you have their full history at hand without switching screens.
  • Staff can now set a custom start and end time for their own bookings, even when it falls outside the standard slot grid.
  • Editing an appointment now reuses the same form as creating one, so everything is consistent and familiar.

Mobile

  • The time picker and several form dialogs now work reliably on phones — scrolling, dismissing, and navigating no longer get stuck.
  • The appointments calendar on mobile scrolls properly again.

Appointments overhaul

A fuller calendar view, smarter scheduling, and a cleaner appointments list.

Appointments

  • You can now view a full-day week, giving you a better overview of everyone’s schedule at a glance.
  • Canceled appointments are hidden by default so the list stays tidy. You can show them again whenever you need.
  • You can now edit the duration and exact time of an appointment directly, and squeeze in a booking outside normal slots when needed.
  • When adding a new appointment, you can now pick the barber straight from the booking form — no extra steps.
  • Multi-day schedule blocks now show up correctly on each day they cover in the agenda and weekly view.
  • The filter panel on the side is now scrollable, so all filters are reachable on smaller screens.
  • When you re-open an appointment you’re editing, available times no longer mistakenly exclude the time slot already booked.

Customer emails

  • Refund and waitlist confirmation emails have been updated — the wording is clearer and the service and staff name no longer show up incorrectly.

June 4, 2026

Mobile services, walk-ins, and more

At-customer appointments, a new walk-in flow, recurring appointments redesigned, product sales, intake forms, and two-factor security.

Appointments

  • Walk-in bookings. You can now add a walk-in appointment directly from the calendar with a quick dialog — no need to fill in every detail upfront. Adding an email for the customer is optional.
  • Recurring appointments redesigned. Setting up repeating appointments is now cleaner and more flexible, with a unified flow for both appointments and breaks.
  • Product sales on appointments. You can add products to an appointment and track what was sold during a visit.
  • Split booking notes. Appointment notes are now split into internal notes (visible only to your team) and treatment notes (the record of what was done).
  • Speed variance per employee. If some team members work faster or slower than average, you can now set that per person and per customer — available times adjust automatically.

Online booking

  • Embeddable booking widget. You can now embed the booking widget directly on your own website with a simple code snippet.
  • At-customer services. If you offer services at the customer’s location (mobile barber), customers can enter their address during booking and see realistic available times based on travel.
  • The booking widget layout on desktop is improved for a smoother, more spacious experience.
  • Booking slots now respect the time-step setting you configured, so available times always match what you expect.
  • The booking horizon you set is no longer reset to the default after changes elsewhere.

Customer emails

  • Confirmation emails for at-customer appointments now include the service location, so customers know where (or at whose address) the appointment takes place.
  • Email language now follows the customer’s locale, so Dutch customers always get Dutch emails.

Statistics & customers

  • Intake forms. You can now collect information from customers before their appointment with a customizable intake form.
  • Revenue per region. A new report shows revenue broken down by area, useful if you serve multiple regions.
  • Customer search now happens on the server, so searching large customer lists is fast even with hundreds of names.
  • The statistics page now shows numbers for the location you are viewing, not a mix of all locations.

Account security

  • Two-factor authentication. You can now secure your account with a TOTP authenticator app (such as 1Password or Google Authenticator) or a passkey. Organization owners can also require two-factor for all staff members.
