Sessions is the simple way for coaches, instructors, and tutors to fill their schedule and keep track of who's paid — all from your phone. Share a booking link, let clients reserve the times you're open, and see every session, payment, and cancellation in one organized place. No more juggling group texts, screenshots, and a paper calendar. FOR COACHES • Build your schedule in minutes with reusable session templates • Offer one-on-one sessions, group classes, or multi-day camps • Set times to repeat daily, weekly, or every other week • Share one link so clients can book the slots you have open • Track each booking from requested, to paid, to completed • Set your own refund policy for each type of session • Add your locations, bio, and links so clients know what to expect FOR PARENTS & CLIENTS • Book sessions with your coach in a few taps • See exactly when, where, and how much before you commit • Get reminders so you never miss a session • Pay your coach directly, using the method you already use PAYMENTS MADE CLEAR You get paid directly by your clients with your own payment methods — Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, or cash — and Sessions keeps a clean record of what's pending, what's paid, and what's been refunded.
