Hear that?

That's the sound of a booked appointment.

Every time a client drops into your book, Ploink goes ploink. Turn your sound on and try it.

Go on. Tap it.

Go on, poke it

Everything you'd write in the margin, but it helps back.

Processing time

Color processing is free time

Ploink knows the difference between hands-on and waiting, so a cut fits right in. Paper can't do that.

Why Ploink exists

It started with my mom's appointment book.

My mom is a hairstylist. Her book was paper: a pencil, an eraser, an arrow whenever someone moved, a crossed-out name whenever someone cancelled. I wanted to build her something that felt like that book, only kinder. It knows color keeps processing while she's free. It remembers her clients. It never loses a Thursday.

She uses Ploink with real clients now, and every feature comes from watching her work. Now I'd love to get it into the hands of every stylist, tech and tattooist who's ever squinted at a smudged page.

built with love, for my mom
