For independent pet groomers
A calmer weekbehind the chair.
Harknote is the booking calendar you can run from your phone between grooms. Customers, pets, services, and a weekly view that refuses to double-book — nothing more, nothing less.

What you get
Built for the part of the week you don’t see.
Harknote handles the small, repeating tasks that pile up between grooms — booking, reminders, profiles — so your queue stops being a list on the back of an envelope.
Online self-booking
Clients pick a slot from your weekly calendar at 11pm and it’s there in the morning — no phone tag, no double-bookings.
Automatic confirmations + reminders
Every booking sends a confirmation email; the day-before reminder goes out automatically so no-shows stop eating your week.
Client & pet profiles per appointment
A customer’s notes, their pet’s breed and coat, the cat who hates the dryer — it’s right there on the booking.
$29 / month per groomer
No per-appointment fees, no booking fees, no payment fees. One line on your books, cancel any time.
Pricing
One plan. One price. No surprises.
Harknote is $29 per month, per groomer — that's it. Cancel any time, no contract, no per-appointment or booking fees hiding in the small print.

How it works
Built for the way a one-groomer shop actually runs.
No multi-location tool, no payroll, no marketing CRM. Harknote does three things, and does them so the queue outside your door stops being a list on the back of an envelope.
- STEP 01
Add the services you offer
A full groom, a wash-and-tidy, a nail trim — each with a duration so the calendar blocks the right amount of time, automatically.
- STEP 02
Drop in a customer and their pet
A tap on the weekly calendar opens a slot. Pick the customer, pick the pet, pick the service — every booking takes about ten seconds.
- STEP 03
Never double-book a haircut
Two slots that overlap the same chair cannot both exist. Reschedule the noon full groom and the slot you move them into is checked before the save happens.
FAQ
Things owners ask before signing on.
Is this for shops with more than one groomer?
Not yet — this MVP is shaped around a single groomer and a single chair. Multi-groomer scheduling is on the roadmap.
Does it take card payments or send SMS reminders?
No — booking only. Payment integrations and owner-side reminder emails land in later slices; for now the calendar is the workhorse.
How much does Harknote cost?
$29 per month, per groomer. No per-appointment fees, no booking fees, no setup fees.
