TidyStack – Dead-simple booking hub for micro service teams

Unify texts, notes, and spreadsheets into one booking view so small teams stop losing repeat clients.

Problem

A business owner spent his first year running bookings from his phone—texts, a notes app, and a spreadsheet he never updated. Biweekly clients slipped through constantly; someone would ask 'are we still on for Thursday?' and he had no clean record. Switching to one unified CRM stopped the churn. Many solo and small service teams still manage bookings in fragments, while existing CRMs are too heavy and expensive.

Solution

A minimalist booking and client record tool: one interface for all clients, appointments, and notes, with paste-to-import from texts/WhatsApp, an auto-generated calendar view, and reminders. Built for 1–5 person teams, stripping out sales funnels and complex fields to keep only 'who, when, what.'

Users

Cleaning, repair, pet care, personal training, and similar 1–5 person service teams.

MVP

Single view for contacts + appointments; paste text to auto-parse and create bookings; calendar and today view; appointment reminders via email/SMS; data export.

Revenue

Per-user subscription undercutting mainstream CRMs; free tier caps client count.

Why now

Small service providers remain severely under-digitized, and main CRMs are built for sales teams. An indie can win with a simple UI and low price in this overlooked niche.
