Time is money

Your clients
Set up new clients in seconds
We’ll collect clients’ info and preferences with a simple form, so everything stays organized in one place.
Track every client’s history in one place
From their previous sessions to personal preferences, keep tabs on all your clients with in-depth data. No more digging for past Venmos necessary.
Your schedule
Make it easier than ever to book time with you
Skip the “Does 3pm work?” and let your clients instantly book or reschedule instead with Little Engine.
Set booking policies (and break them whenever you want)
Define your booking windows, cancellation policies, your buffer time between sessions, and more. Little Engine upholds all of it by default. When it’s a judgment call, it comes to you first.
Sit back and let us manage your calendar
Your calendar, in sync. Little Engine works from your Google Calendar, so your personal plans are never double-booked.
Invites go out for you. Every booking lands on your client’s calendar with an invite, sent the moment it’s set.
Friendly reminders. Clients get a text before each appointment, at the times you choose. Fewer no-shows, no nudging.
Works where you work. Your studio, your home, your client’s place, or a video call. Each service knows where it happens.
Travel time, built in. Buffers between appointments keep you from being booked back to back across town.
Your money
Never chase a payment again
Clients keep a card on file, and Little Engine charges it when the session wraps. Receipts go out on their own, and if a payment fails, we follow up so you don’t have to.
Track your growth in real-time
See how much you’re making this month (and estimates out how much based on future bookings.) Little Engine tracks your best clients and how much each is worth.
Your website

We turn your services and policies into a free website, making it easy for people to find you on Google and AI tools like ChatGPT.
