Sending an open calendar link can feel cold.
A request link says 'ask me.' You answer YES, LATER, or NO, personally.
The gate to your calendar
Your calendar has a gate now.
People send a request. You answer YES, LATER, or NO in the app, or by text on paid plans. Your calendar stays hidden, and nothing gets in without your YES or your My Time hours.
Others let people take your time. TempoHour lets them ask for it.
Free plan available. No card needed to start.
Free gets text alerts and answers in the app. Text replies on paid plans.
- 1. Jordan sends a request: 45-min coaching call, Thursday 2 PM.
- 2. Maya gets a text: "Reply YES, LATER, or NO."
- 3. Maya replies YES.
- 4. Jordan hears back: confirmed for Thursday 2 PM.
- 5. It’s added after a fresh conflict check. Maya’s calendar stayed hidden the whole time.
How it works
Your time, on your terms, in three steps
- 1
Share your link
Put it in your email signature, bio, or texts. Guests see a simple request page, not your schedule.
- 2
They ask
Guests say what they need and when they'd like it. You get a text and an app alert.
- 3
You decide
Reply YES to confirm, LATER to send other times, or NO to decline politely. Nothing reaches your calendar without your YES, or your My Time hours if you turn them on.
Your calendar stays hidden.

Send request Why a gate
Open calendars cause problems you already know. The gate fixes them.
Spam and fake appointments fill your calendar.
No open calendar. Nothing lands on it without your YES or your My Time hours.
You end up approving everything by hand anyway.
Answer by text in seconds (paid plans), or turn on My Time for an automatic YES inside your private hours.
No-shows cost you time and money.
On Booking Link, a deposit is requested after your YES, and the calendar updates after payment.
The small stuff that eats your day
You don't have to take every time.
LATER sends up to 3 other times that suit you, and they pick one.
Saying no shouldn't feel awkward.
NO is one tap, with polite wording sent for you.
Your free time isn't up for grabs.
Your calendar stays hidden. People ask, you decide.
Optional focus settings: get requests in batches and get a weekly summary of the time you protected.
