Use your calendar

See every cleaning by month, week or day, colored by where it stands or by who's on it.

Calendar Open Calendar

Turn your sound on. Watch it done on a practice account (0:58). Tap any step below to jump to it. Narrated with an AI voice.

Your calendar shows every cleaning on the books, with the client's name and start time, so you can see your week at a glance. Color it by partner and you can see who's working when.

1

Open Calendar

In the menu, tap Calendar. It opens on this month.
2

Pick Month, Week or Day

Tap Month, Week or Day at the top. Tap any date to see just that day. Next to Color by, tap Partner to see each partner's name in their own color, or Status to color each cleaning by where it stands.
3

Move between dates

Use the arrows at the top to move back or ahead, and tap Today to jump back to now.
4

Open a cleaning

Tap a cleaning to open its booking: the client, the partner, the price and how to get in.
5

Book from the calendar

Tap New booking at the top to add a cleaning yourself.
6

Mark the days you're closed

Tap Closed days, pick a date, add what it's for (like Thanksgiving) and tap Close this day. Clients and Irene can't book it, and your calendar shows it. Tap Open again to undo.
7

See the day on a map

Tap Day map to see one day by partner: each partner's cleanings in order, with the drive time between them. A cleaning nobody has yet shows which partner is closest. Tap Show the map to see the pins, in each partner's color.

Good to know

When a day has more cleanings than fit, tap +1 more to see them all.
A closed day only stops clients and Irene. You can still add a booking yourself that day.
Drive times on the Day map come from Google Maps for a normal day's traffic. A cleaning with no address on file stays off the map until you add one.
With Color by on Status (how every calendar starts), the colors show where each cleaning stands: booked, paid, not paid yet, a payment problem, done or cancelled.
With Partner, each cleaning shows its time and the partner's name on their color, with a small dot for where it stands. A cleaning with two partners shows the first one's color and +1. Gray stripes mean it needs a partner.
The Partners list on the right (the Partners button on a phone) shows how many cleanings each partner has, their hours that day or the days they're off that week, and a box to show or hide their cleanings.
Every partner gets a color when you add them. To change it, tap the paint palette next to their name, or open the partner's page and find Calendar color. Pick one of the 16 colors or your own.
List view opens your Bookings list, with the same cleanings one under the other.
