What’s inside

One place for the whole day.

The things you keep meaning to do, the money you keep meaning to check, the workout you keep meaning to log.

Tasks & streaks

Recurring routines and one-time plans, on the days you choose. The streak counts what you did, not what you missed.

Money

Bills, income and payouts in one monthly view, behind your PIN. It never connects to your bank.

Workout

Plan your week, log each set as you go, and see your lifts over time.

Alarm

Wake-up alarms and reminders for your tasks.

Business workspace

A calendar, online booking, check-in and paystubs, if you run a shop.

New for shops · Calendar

Your whole shop’s day, on one screen.

A calendar made for the front desk. Everyone on your team in their own column, every booking where you can see it, from your booking page, your desk or Square.

Online bookings land on the calendar by themselves.
  • Drag to book, drag to move

    Drop a booking on any open time, or slide it to someone else. Changed your mind? Undo is one tap.

  • A colour for every staff member

    Everyone gets their own column and colour. See the day by staff or all together, by week or by month.

  • Standing appointments

    Book the regular who comes every 2, 3 or 4 weeks once, and every visit lands on the calendar.

  • Breaks, days off, closures

    Block lunch, a day off or the whole shop, and your booking page won’t offer those times.

  • No double-booking

    po6tive won’t put two clients with one person at the same time, and flags anything from Square that clashes.

  • Updates by itself

    New bookings appear within seconds on every screen in the shop, without refreshing.

Online booking

Clients book themselves, day or night.

Your own booking page at po6tive.com/your-shop/book. Put the link in your bio and clients can book while you’re closed.

  • Only real openings

    Clients pick services, who they want or anyone available, and only see times that are free.

  • Bring the whole group

    Mom, daughter and a friend? A group of up to six can book one visit together.

  • Held while they finish

    The time they picked is kept for them while they fill in their details, so nobody loses it at the last step.

  • Confirmed by email

    Leave an email and get a confirmation with “Add to calendar”, plus a link to move or cancel within the notice you set.

  • Your rules

    Show or hide prices, set the least notice and how far ahead people can book. Turn it off any time.

  • Every new client, saved

    People who book online land in your client list, ready for their next visit.

Front desk

Everything at the counter, on one tablet.

Check clients in, ring them up and bring them back with points and rewards.

A check-in kiosk on your tablet

Hand clients the tablet. New faces sign in with their details and a signature; regulars see their points.

Ring up at the desk

Add a service, change a price, take a discount or a gift certificate, then Submit Paystub.

Discounts never come out of your staff’s pay.

Bring them back

Points for every check-in, rewards to redeem, and win-back and birthday emails you switch on.

Your client list, moved in

Import it from a spreadsheet or your old booking app. Allergies and notes stay with each client.

Works with Square

Already on Square Appointments? Connect it: bookings stay in step both ways, and Square’s blocked time and days off show on your calendar.

Sending bookings to Square needs Square Appointments Plus or Premium.

Money & team

Paystubs that add themselves up.

The back office for your salon, studio or small team: who did what, who’s owed what, and what the shop keeps.

  • Paystubs & payouts

    Every ring-up writes the paystub. Payouts for the week, or two weeks, add themselves up.

  • Staff & commission

    Give each person their own commission. Staff open the desk with a shared PIN; the shop’s totals stay with you.

  • Gift certificates

    Sell, track and redeem gift certificates, including partial redemptions, without a spreadsheet.

  • Insights

    Gross, payouts, tips and what the shop keeps, by day, week, month or year.

Also inside: business bills, a daily checklist, and your services and products.

Business plans: $60 a month (plus a one-time $40 activation fee) or $600 a year. Personal accounts are free.

More than one shop

Several shops, each behind its own PIN.

Link up to five shops and switch between them from the shop’s name. Switching asks for that shop’s owner PIN, and each one still unlocks with its own.

Switch shops with the owner PIN

Pick a shop and enter its owner PIN, so staff stay in their own shop. Unlocking still needs that shop’s own PIN and password.

  • Look without a PIN

    Anyone at the desk can see the day and check clients in. Money, team and settings stay locked.

  • PIN, then done

    Booking or moving someone asks for the PIN once, then finishes what you started. No second tap.

  • Locks itself

    Step away and the workspace locks after a few minutes, so the counter stays private.

  • Remembered logins

    Tick “Remember me” and sign back in with your PIN on devices you trust. Up to six per device.

  • See where you’re signed in

    Every device and roughly where it is, never your IP. Sign out any you don’t recognize.

  • Deleting needs your inbox

    Deleting an account takes a code emailed to it, not just a password someone might have.

Principles

A tool, not a game.

No coins, no levels, no guilt.

  • No streak shaming

    Get most of your list done and the day counts. Rest days never break a streak, and nothing ever turns red.

  • Private by default

    Money and business totals sit behind your PIN. po6tive never connects to your bank or moves a cent.

  • Your data is yours

    No ads and nothing sold. Download your data any time, or delete your account and everything in it yourself.

  • Phone and desktop

    One account on every device. Add it to your home screen and it opens like an app.
