Welcome to 2BookNow

2BookNow is a booking app for people who run their business themselves. It is made by GoGold Apps, a small Canadian software company, and it does one job properly: it takes bookings for you and keeps them somewhere you can see them.

What We’re For

Most scheduling software is built for a company with an office manager. Ours is built for the person who is cutting hair, cleaning a car or teaching a class when the phone rings.

So the whole business runs from a phone. Your customers get a page they can book on at two in the morning without creating an account, and you get the appointment, the reminder and the client record without doing anything. No commission, no per-booking fee, and a free plan that is genuinely free rather than a countdown.

Where We Came From

The first version of 2BookNow launched as a web platform with a companion app. It worked, and it taught us that almost everything owners actually did happened on their phone — and that a good deal of what we had built was in the way.

So we rebuilt it. The new 2BookNow is a native app for the owner and a fast public page for the customer, with the scheduling logic moved down into the database, where a double booking is impossible rather than merely unlikely. Businesses on the original platform were moved across with their history intact, and their old booking links still work.

What We Chose Not to Build

We take payments out, not in. 2BookNow does not process your customers’ money, hold card details, or add a percentage to anything you book — you settle up with your customer the way you always have. We do not send marketing email on your behalf either, because the moment we did, the confirmations and reminders that actually matter would start landing in spam.

That leaves a smaller app that does the scheduling part completely. It is a trade we would make again.
