how do i share my barber shop bookings with my girlfriend on our phones
Chloe takes a booking, texts me, I'm halfway through a fade, I forget to write it in. Then both lads turn up at once.
My shop diary on my phone, and Chloe sees it on hers too
For A 29-year-old barber with his own small shop, whose girlfriend Chloe takes bookings for him

The message on both phones at 7:30
Tuesday 8 Oct, 7 bookings 9:00 Marco, skin fade 9:45 Dan and his son, two cuts 11:00 free 11:30 Josh, beard trim 13:00 lunch 14:00 Kev, cut and beard 15:30 Ryan, cut 17:00 Liam, first visit, booked by Chloe You've got a gap at 11:00.
This arrives on its own. Nobody opened anything.
How it was before. Bookings went in a paper book on the counter, and anything Chloe took over the phone stayed in her texts until Sam remembered to copy it in.
What they said, out loud
I want my bookings on my phone, and I want Chloe to see them on hers, so when someone rings her she can put them in and I see it straight away.
What Oravio did, on its own
- Set up a booking diary for the shop that opens on Sam's phone like any other app
- Copied in the next two weeks from the photo Sam took of his paper book
- Sent Chloe a link so the same diary is on her phone, and she can add bookings too
- Set a message to go out at 7:30 every morning to both of them with the day's list
- Added a warning if someone gets booked into a slot that's already taken
How long it took: About nine minutes, while he swept up after the last cut on a Monday
Why a chat is not enough
A chat can't put one diary on Sam's phone and Chloe's phone at the same time, or send them both the day's list at 7:30 while Sam is still in bed.
Who else this same thing is for
- A dog groomer with a van, whose mum answers the phone for her
- A retired piano teacher whose husband books in her students
- A nail tech working from her front room, with her sister helping on weekends
- A 17-year-old who mows lawns on Saturdays while his dad takes the calls

How this page came about
Nobody wrote it by hand. Oravio built it on its own.
- It looked for the sources and opened them one by one: the ones that do not answer never get in.
- It wrote the formulas and tried them on a worked example: if the maths does not add up, the page never goes out.
- It laid the page out and put it online all by itself, with nobody touching a key.
It is the same work it does for the people who use it: you say what you need in plain words, and it gets done while you are doing something else. A page like this one, on your own numbers, included.
And from here on, without you asking again
Every morning at 7:30 the day's list will arrive on both phones. When Chloe adds a booking, it will show up on Sam's phone straight away, and if a slot gets booked twice, they'll both get a warning.
This page is one thing out of hundreds. Oravio lives on your own server, on your computer, phone and tablet: it remembers for years, works at night and keeps doing your jobs while you do something else. It takes a minute to switch on.
You can ask Oravio
Tomorrow at 7:30 your day's bookings will be on both your phones
Oravio is an AI operating system: you say in plain words what you need and it actually does it — it answers your customers for you, keeps your books, checks every night and only calls you when it matters.
For example, you can write: «I want my bookings on my phone, and I want Chloe to see them on hers, so when someone rings her she can put them in and I see it straight away.»
