ChairBack is the app for the chair - for the barber running it, and the client sitting in it. If you cut hair, your whole book lives on your phone. See your day hour by hour or your month at a glance, and take a booking, move one, or block off time in a couple of taps. When the cut is done, check your client out right there at the chair and record what you actually collected, whether that was cash, card, or transfer. A walk-in takes one tap: no name, no signup, just what they paid. Between clients you can see who is coming in next, who has not been back in a while, how full your chair really is, and what your time is honestly worth. Already booked somewhere else? Bring your book with you from Acuity or Square, or import a client list, and keep the appointments you already have. If you are the one in the chair, there is nothing to sign up for. Find your shop by its exact name, or open the link your barber sent you, and your rewards card is waiting - your visits, the tier you are on, and how close the next one is. Book your next cut in a few taps, or set a standing appointment so your usual time stays yours for the weeks ahead. A reminder lands before you are due so you never lose the slot, and your card can live in Apple Wallet instead of your back pocket. Barbers, stylists, and anyone else who works a chair will find their own words in here rather than someone else's. And if you keep a chair of your own, you can flip between the dashboard and your own rewards card without signing out. Sign in with Apple or Google, or with the email you already use. ChairBack takes 0% of what you charge. Card processing is handled by our payment processor, whose own fees apply. Your client list is yours, and you can export it whenever you like. Just looking? There is a demo on both sides, so you can walk through the whole thing first.

Make a game. Publish it in one tap. Watch the world play it. Max2D gives you two ways to build and it's the only app on iPhone that has both. DESCRIBE IT, AND AI BUILDS IT Type your idea in plain English — "a ninja platformer with double jump" — and AI builds a playable game in seconds, in 2D or 3D. Don't like something? Say what to change and it rebuilds. No editor, no learning curve, no coding. OR BUILD IT IN THE PRO EDITOR Open a full 2D game engine: a drag-and-drop scene editor, sprite tools, physics, camera controls, and VISUAL SCRIPTING to give any object logic and behaviour — still without writing a line of code. Build platformers, racers, RPGs, puzzles, clickers, shooters, anything you can imagine in 2D. WORKS COMPLETELY OFFLINE. Build on a plane, on the subway, anywhere with zero signal. This is a professional mobile game engine, not a prompt toy. Two separate creation modes. Pick whichever fits what you're making. PUBLISH IN ONE TAP However you built it, one tap publishes your game: • It lands in the Max2D feed, where the community plays it, rates it, and tells you what they think • You get a link you can send to anyone, anywhere — friends, group chats, socials. They just tap and play • No approvals, no waiting, no fees PLAY WHAT OTHERS BUILT Max2D isn't only for making. Browse a live feed of games built by creators around the world and jump straight into any of them. Rate them, leave feedback, follow the creators you like, and find ideas for your own next game. LEARN GAME DEV, FREE A built-in Learn section walks you through both modes step by step with video tutorials — how to prompt AI well, and how to use the engine's tools. Total beginners and experienced tinkerers both get moving fast. PERFECT FOR • First-timers who want a finished, playable game in minutes • Kids and students learning game design and logic hands-on • Hobbyist devs who want a real engine that fits in a pocket • Anyone who tried a prompt-only game "maker" and hit a wall A TRACK RECORD, NOT A STARTUP EXPERIMENT Max2D has been building games with people since 2020 — over 4.3 million creators and 46,000+ ratings, now rebuilt for iPhone. This isn't a weekend AI wrapper. It's a real engine with years of tools, tutorials, and a community behind it. No coding. No paywall on creation. Describe it or build it — either way, you ship a game the world can play. Download Max2D free and make your first game today. — Support: support@max2d.app Community: https://discord.gg/dHzPjaHBbF Privacy Policy: https://max2dgame.com/privacypolicy.html
