Buffer Times
Breathing room built into every day.
Automatic gaps between appointments give you time to reset, clean up, write notes, or just take a breath. Your calendar doesn't have to be a wall-to-wall sprint.

How it works
3 simple steps

Before and after
See the difference buffer times make. Without them, appointments stack wall-to-wall — no time to breathe, clean, or reset. With buffers, your day has natural gaps built in. Same number of clients, zero burnout.

Set it and forget it
One setting in your dashboard. Pick your buffer minutes, save. Every future booking respects the gap automatically. Clients never see it — they just see available time slots that happen to have a little room built in.

What you get
Automatic gaps
Set a buffer (5, 10, 15 minutes — whatever you need) and it's automatically added after every appointment. Clients never see it. Your schedule just magically has room.
Clean transitions
No more clients walking in while the last one is still at the front desk. Buffers give you time to wrap up, reset your space, and be ready for the next person.
Prevent burnout
Back-to-back bookings all day is a recipe for exhaustion. Buffers protect your energy so you can give every client your best — not whatever's left.
Real-world use
Who uses this?
Massage Therapist
Reset the room, change the sheets, wash your hands. 10-minute buffers keep everything hygienic and calm.
Barber
Sweep up, sanitize the station, take a sip of water. The next client walks into a clean setup.
Therapist
Write session notes while they're fresh. A 15-minute buffer is the difference between "documented" and "I'll remember later" (you won't).
