Availabird is a lightweight, intuitive scheduling helper. Designed for situations where a large number of clients must be fit into a weekly schedule, Availabird makes organizing your week a breeze. Just enter the times you're available throughout the week, and your clients' avails, and generate a schedule in seconds. Availabird will let you know if anyone can't be accommodated, and can suggest changes. Trying to schedule 24 music students between 3 and 7:30pm on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays? Availabird makes it easy. Need to line up a week of 50-minute appointments with a 10 minute space between each client? Availabird can do that too. Specify clients' preferred times, and Availabird will use them if possible. And if your clients' avails just won't work with each other, Availabird can help you determine what changes you might need to make. Availabird can greatly simplify scheduling for people in a variety of professions, taking the grueling and time-consuming process of figuring out how to fit everyone into a weekly arrangement and reducing it to a matter of minutes. It's perfect for consultants, therapists, tutors, music teachers, and coaches – anyone who needs to interface with multiple clients on a weekly basis. Schedules can be exported in the PDF and CSV formats. And on iOS 13 and higher and macOS 10.15 Catalina and higher, Availabird automatically syncs all your data between devices, so it's there when you need it.
