Openslot is an appointment book and staff shift roster for barbers, salons and massage therapists. The shifts you roster decide the hours clients can book, bookings cannot collide, and the client list you build stays yours — no commission, no marketplace between you and your chair.
A booking app that takes no cut.
Openslot: appointment book + shift roster for barbers and salons. No commission, no marketplace, your clients stay on your phone. Free on Android.
What Openslot does.
A calm replacement for the paper appointment book and the group-chat rota.
Open your book in two minutes
Pick your trade, tap the services you offer, and you are taking appointments. No account, no card, no onboarding call.
A day you can read at a glance
Today’s Book shows who is coming, when, for what and for how much. Mark visits done, log no-shows, and keep notes on every client.
Shifts that actually do something
Roster who is working and when, and those hours become the times clients can book. Put someone on nine to one and nobody can book them at four.
Open shifts, flagged until covered
Leave a shift unassigned and it sits flagged on the schedule until you put someone in it. Repeat a shift weekly and the roster builds itself.
Bookings that cannot collide
The slot grid is computed from real availability — rostered shifts, service length, buffers and existing appointments. Back to back is fine; double booked is impossible.
Your clients stay yours
Names, numbers, notes and visit history build your list, not somebody else’s marketplace. Openslot never advertises other shops to your clients and never takes a cut.
A look inside.
Today’s book at a glance
A new booking, without collisions
Any day, with its bookings and hours
Clients, notes and visit history
Services, hours and your team
Made for people who work by the chair.
Anywhere a day is a list of names and times, and the rota decides who can take them.
Questions, answered.
When can I get it?
Now. Openslot is live on Google Play and free to install — no account, no card, and your book is open in two minutes.
Do you take a commission on bookings?
No. Openslot is a tool you run, not a marketplace you list on. There is no commission, no per-booking fee and no directory that shows your clients somebody else’s shop.
How do shifts and bookings fit together?
Shifts are not a second calendar to keep in sync. The hours you roster are the hours clients can be booked into, and business hours cover the times nobody is rostered.
Can my staff log in and claim shifts?
Not yet. Openslot runs on the owner or manager device and you assign open shifts yourself. Clients can already book themselves through your online booking page, and you can open the same book in a browser. Shared team access is what we are building next.
Does it work offline?
Yes. Your book lives on the device and the whole app works with no connection. Online booking and the web version are optional extras you switch on. No ads; the app sends only anonymous usage counts and crash reports.
Who is it for?
Barbers and barbershops, hair salons, massage therapists and small studios — anyone who works by the chair and by the hour.
Is there a free shift scheduling app for a small team?
Openslot is free, and the shift roster is part of the app rather than a paid add-on. Roster who is working and when, leave a shift open and flagged until you cover it, and repeat a shift weekly so the rota builds itself.
Can I use it as a booking app for a barbershop?
Yes — barbershops are exactly who it was built for. Services with their own durations, buffers and prices, a day you can read at a glance, and a slot grid computed from real availability so double-booking is impossible.
Does it work as an employee rota or rostering app?
Yes, and the rota is not a second calendar to keep in sync. The hours you roster are the hours clients can be booked into, so the schedule and the appointment book can never drift apart.
Is it really free, with no commission?
Yes. Openslot is free to install with no account and no card, and it never takes a cut of a booking, charges a per-booking fee, or lists your shop in a marketplace beside your competitors.
