Entry — Your Appointments. Your Income. All in One Place. Manage your schedule, your clients, and your cash flow without switching between apps. Entry is a clean, focused tracker built for professionals who work for themselves. SCHEDULE FROM YOUR CALENDAR Entry connects directly to your phone's calendar. Pull in existing appointments or create new ones on the spot. For every booking, log the client name, session length, rate, and any notes you need. INCOME AND EXPENSES, TRACKED Got paid after your last session? Mark it done. Still waiting? Entry keeps track. See exactly what you've earned, what's still outstanding, and where your money is going — all in real time, all on one screen. WEEKLY AND MONTHLY REPORTS How was last month? Entry answers that without making you dig. Clean summaries and simple charts show you which clients keep you busiest, what you're bringing in, and how your business is trending over time. CLIENT PROFILES Every client gets their own record — full appointment history, payment status, session count, and private notes. No more trying to remember who owes what. It's all there when you need it. REMINDERS Automatic reminders before each appointment mean no one shows up to an empty room. Set payment reminders too, so following up never slips through the cracks. WHY ENTRY? Accounting tools are built for accountants. Note apps forget things. Entry was made for the space in between — powerful enough to run your business, simple enough to actually use. No onboarding, no learning curve. Open it, log it, done. FEATURES Income and expense tracking Client profiles and payment history Custom reports Outstanding balance tracking Appointment reminders Offline support Entry gives you a clear picture of your business — who's coming in, what you're owed, and how you're doing. Nothing more, nothing less. https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
