Changelog

Your account

• Passkeys. Sign in with a passkey — your face, fingerprint, or device PIN — instead of typing a password.
• Create a new account with a passkey too, no password required.

Appointments

• On your phone, searching for a customer while creating an appointment now opens a clean full-screen picker instead of a cramped popover.
• You can only cancel, reschedule, or mark a no-show on your own appointments — opening a colleague’s booking no longer ends in a confusing “operation failed”.
• “Add break” and “Add extra hours” now appear only on the columns you’re allowed to edit, and if a break can’t be saved you see the real reason instead of a generic error.
• Filtering your calendar is now a side panel that applies as you toggle — no more Apply button — and the Filters button carries a badge showing how many filters are active.
• Appointments in the week, month, and list views of your calendar now show at the location’s local time, even when you open the dashboard from a device set to another timezone.

Your services

• Set a service’s length in 5-minute steps, so short services like 20 minutes are pickable again.

Loyalty and reviews

• Loyalty points. Points are added automatically once an appointment is done — nothing to click, and they count toward tiers straight away.
• Customers can leave a review once their visit is finished.
• A no-show warning clears itself after three visits the customer actually turns up for.

Online booking

• Once a booking is canceled, its cancel, reschedule, and payment links stop working right away — including when you cancel it yourself from the dashboard.
• The order you arrange your services in now shows the same way on your public booking page and website.
• On a week that runs into a new month, days in the next or previous month no longer show as fully booked when there are still open times.
• Times offered during extra hours can now be booked all the way through, instead of being refused at the final step. If a time is taken while a customer is booking, they’re told right away and sent back to pick another.

Privacy

• Details from checkouts a customer never finished are now cleared automatically after 90 days.

Across the app

• Fixed a handful of screens — mileage, the waitlist, and some dashboard panels — that showed a raw label code instead of readable text.
• The icon-only action buttons on the waitlist now announce what they do to screen readers.

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

Online booking

• 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.
