Handyman Software That Books Jobs While You Work
What running a handyman business without software actually costs you?
Without Calday
- You drove 20 minutes to a job. No one home. No warning.
- Emergency call comes in at 4pm. Tomorrow's route is already full.
- Customer texts asking where you are. You're still at the last job.
- Three people called about the same Saturday morning slot. Two booked elsewhere while you were on a job.
- You spent Sunday night rebuilding next week's route because two jobs shifted.
With Calday
- Deposit collected at booking. Customers who paid show up.
- One emergency slot stays open every day. Customers book it instantly.
- Automated reminders go out 24 hours before. No follow-up calls needed.
- Your booking page handles new inquiries while you're working. No missed calls.
- Buffer time between jobs is set once. Calday builds it into every day automatically.
Calday works across every type of handyman job

- Require a deposit to hold the slot
- Add buffer time after each job automatically

Without scope upfront, your first hour on site is an estimate you never get paid for.

Questions from handymen
No. Your booking page runs in any browser on any phone. Customers click your link, pick a service, pick a time, and pay the deposit. No app, no login, no account required. Most bookings take under two minutes.
Yes. Google Calendar, Outlook, and iCloud all connect. Calday reads your existing events and blocks those times automatically - so customers never see a slot you're already committed to. No manual management. No double-booking.
Yes. The free plan gives you a booking page, one service, calendar sync, and automated reminders. No credit card required and no expiry date. The Pro plan ($12/month) adds deposit collection, unlimited services, intake questions, and payment processing through Stripe.
Yes. Set your coverage area and Calday hides your availability from addresses outside it. Customers too far out won't see open slots - they'll see a message directing them elsewhere. No wasted estimates.
Yes. Set a buffer of 15, 30, or 45 minutes after each job type. Calday builds it into your schedule automatically. Customers can't book inside that window, so you have time to drive between sites without running late on the next job.
Yes. You can set one or more slots per day as emergency openings with a short lead time — as little as one hour. Homeowners with an urgent problem see those slots and book instantly. You can open or close them any time from your phone.
You cancel through Calday and the customer gets an automatic notification with the option to reschedule. The deposit handling follows the cancellation policy you set - you can refund it, apply it to a rescheduled booking, or keep it. Your policy shows to every customer at booking before they confirm.
