For freelancers & consultants
Plan client work and let clients book you
When you sell your time, every hour a client books is an hour you cannot deliver in. Schedulify plans the delivery work first, then offers clients only what is genuinely left.
The freelancer’s scheduling trap
You publish a booking link so prospects can reach you without three emails. Sensible. But the link only knows about meetings, so it treats every unbooked hour as available — including the hours you quietly reserved for the work those clients are paying for.
The usual workaround is fake “busy” blocks. That works right up until the week changes, which is every week. Then the blocks are wrong and you are hand-reconciling a booking page against a task list again.
The result is familiar: a fully booked calendar, and delivery work pushed into the evening.
What a week looks like instead
Monday: load the week
Tell the assistant what each client needs this week. Task deconstruction turns “finish the brand audit” into steps that fit in real blocks.
The delivery work gets its hours
Billable work is placed around the calls you already have, including anything synced from Google Calendar.
Prospects book what is left
Your booking link offers only the slots your plan can spare. A discovery call cannot land on top of a delivery block.
A cancellation gives time back
When a client reschedules, the slot frees up and the rest of the week stays intact — and you can ask the assistant to pull other work forward into the gap.
Who this fits
Independent consultants, freelance designers and developers, coaches, tutors, therapists in private practice, fractional operators — anyone who has to do the work and sell the next piece of it.
It is less useful if you never take bookings from other people, or if your week is entirely meetings with no self-directed work to protect.
Which plan you need
Booking links are on Pro, $19 CAD a month, which is the plan built for people who sell their time. If you only want the planning side, Starter is $9 CAD a month and adds Google Calendar sync and task deconstruction. The free plan includes the assistant so you can try the planning before paying.
