About Bookura
Bookura lets a small business publish a booking page in minutes. You set up your services and weekly hours once, and customers choose a service and a time that is actually free, then get confirmed without any message exchange. It targets salons, studios, coaches, clinics and consultants.
Only open slots are shown, and a database-level rule prevents two customers from taking the same appointment. Each booking sends a confirmation with a calendar invite, and customers can reschedule or cancel through a secure link. You can list unlimited services, each with its own duration and price, and switch any of them off with a click.
Bookura is a hosted service currently in early access. It is free during early access with no credit card required, and the site links to a pricing page, changelog and Discord community.
