FOR SMALL ACTIVITY OPERATORS

Run your bookings without the spreadsheet.

If you rent gear, run lessons, or guide activities from a small shop or hostel — this is the simplest way to get off paper, group chats, and Excel.

A calm, mobile-first app for small operators who run rentals, lessons, and guided activities. One booking flow, one inventory ledger, one schedule for instructors and guides, one public booking page. $23 a month, flat. No commission, ever. Set up in under 30 minutes.

THREE THINGS IT ACTUALLY DOES

Bookings, end to end

Take walk-ups at the front desk. Publish a public page so guests book themselves. Pull in bookings from FareHarbor or Bookeo if you already use them. One queue, no double-bookings.

Equipment that doesn't go missing

Every rental gets logged. Every return gets recorded. Take a check-out photo if you want; have the customer sign on your phone. When something breaks, the photo and the signature are right there in the file.

Schedules without WhatsApp pings

Instructors and guides get their own login. They edit their own week, flag sick days, see their schedule. You stop being the human go-between.

WHY $23 A MONTH IS HONEST, NOT A TRICK

One price for everyone. No tiers, no per-seat fees, no booking-volume gates.

No commission. Stripe processes payments directly to your bank account. We never see the money, never take a cut.

Cancel anytime. Stop the subscription, your data sits read-only for 90 days, reactivation is one click.

HOW LONG DOES THIS TAKE TO SET UP?

Sign up takes about 30 seconds — five fields, no credit card. Adding your equipment, instructors, and waiver template takes about 20 minutes. Your public booking page goes live the moment you've added one bookable item.

Total: under 30 minutes from “never heard of it” to “guests can book on my page.”

ONE-LINE PROOF

“Quiet morning at reception, every board out the door, nobody chasing me on WhatsApp.”

WHAT IT DOESN'T DO (YET)

Honesty on roadmap. No surprises later.

  • Multi-property accounts — V2. One subscription per location for now.
  • SMS notifications — V2. Email only in V1 (confirmation, day-before reminder, change/cancel).
  • Native iOS / Android app — V2. The web app works on a phone today; you can add it to your home screen.
  • PMS integration (Cloudbeds, Mews) — V2. Side-by-side for now.
  • Cross-hostel instructor accounts — V2. One login per hostel for instructors in V1.

WHO IT'S NOT FOR

If you run 20+ properties with a corporate procurement process, this is too small for you today.

If you need SOC 2 / ISO 27001 before signing, we don't have it yet.

If you run a single 6-bed cabin that takes one booking a week, the spreadsheet is probably fine.

If any of those describe you, save your time and ours — and check back in a year.

HOW TO START
