The gate to your calendar

Your calendar has a gate now.

People send a request. You answer YES, LATER, or NO in the app, or by text on paid plans. Your calendar stays hidden, and nothing gets in without your YES or your My Time hours.

Others let people take your time. TempoHour lets them ask for it.

Get your free linkSee how a request works

Free plan available. No card needed to start.

Free gets text alerts and answers in the app. Text replies on paid plans.

Jordan sends a request. No calendar in sight.

  1. 1. Jordan sends a request: 45-min coaching call, Thursday 2 PM.
  2. 2. Maya gets a text: "Reply YES, LATER, or NO."
  3. 3. Maya replies YES.
  4. 4. Jordan hears back: confirmed for Thursday 2 PM.
  5. 5. It’s added after a fresh conflict check. Maya’s calendar stayed hidden the whole time.

How it works

Your time, on your terms, in three steps

  1. 1

    Share your link

    Put it in your email signature, bio, or texts. Guests see a simple request page, not your schedule.

  2. 2

    They ask

    Guests say what they need and when they'd like it. You get a text and an app alert.

  3. 3

    You decide

    Reply YES, LATER, or NO. LATER saves it or offers up to 5 other times. Nothing reaches your calendar without your YES, or your My Time hours if you turn them on.

Your calendar stays hidden.

Why a gate

Open calendars cause problems you already know. The gate fixes them.

Sending an open calendar link can feel cold.

A request link says 'ask me.' You answer YES, LATER, or NO, personally.

Spam and fake appointments fill your calendar.

No open calendar. Nothing lands on it without your YES or your My Time hours.

You end up approving everything by hand anyway.

Answer by text in seconds (paid plans), or turn on My Time for an automatic YES inside your private hours.

No-shows cost you time and money.

On Booking Link, a deposit is requested after your YES, and the calendar updates after payment.

The small stuff that eats your day

You don't have to take every time.

LATER saves it or offers up to 5 other times.

Saying no shouldn't feel awkward.

NO is one tap, with polite wording sent for you.

Your free time isn't up for grabs.

Your calendar stays hidden. People ask, you decide.

Optional focus settings: get requests in batches and get a weekly summary of the time you protected.

Your calendar stays private.

Guests never see your open hours, your other meetings, or how busy you are. They see a request page with your name on it.

Decide from a text.

On paid plans, no need to open the app. Reply YES, LATER, or NO and TempoHour lets the guest know.

LATER keeps the door open.

Save the request for later, or offer up to 5 other times. With times, the guest gets a link to pick one.

My Time: an automatic YES, inside hours you choose.

Save your private hours. When a request fits inside them and nothing conflicts, TempoHour can say YES for you. It never says NO on its own. Available on Free and paid Time Link, and Booking Link, and off until you turn it on.
