Bookingbird

Hey Indie Hackers! 👋

Last year, we launched GYMO, an all-in-one gym management app complete with a branded mobile experience. Its booking feature was basic - but soon our customers had wildly different needs: class schedules, squash and tennis courts, even rentable devices. We tried patching together plug-ins, but nothing handled every scenario.

That’s when we realized: all bookings share the same core pattern - resource, slot, price - yet every business layers its own rules. And bookings aren’t standalone events; they connect to memberships, invoicing, reminders, check-in workflows, reporting, and more. Most tools stop at “reserve a slot,” leaving you to juggle five other systems in clunky, outdated UIs.

So we built Bookingbird: a single, flexible platform that unifies every booking touchpoint in one beautiful, modern dashboard. Define any resource - rooms, courts, stylists, devices - set fixed or open slots, configure irregular hours or waitlists, and tie it all into subscriptions, tickets, payments (Stripe, SEPA, cash), automated invoices, email/SMS reminders, QR check-ins, even debt collection.

Why Bookingbird?

• All-in-one tool for scheduling, commerce, memberships, invoicing & workflows

• 100% flexible to your business rules

• Modern, beautiful UI your team and customers will love

• Zero app-hopping - one workflow, one system, total automation
