Timelish is now Hacado

Same bookings, same clients, a new name - and a plan for teams that have grown past a one-person calendar.

August 17, 2026

The company you knew as Timelish is now Hacado.

That is the whole headline. The product is the same. Your bookings, clients, and website stay where they are. What we outgrew was the name.

Timelish sounded like a timer. Fine for a calendar link. Less fine for a salon, a clinic, or a studio that wants a place of its own on the web - not a gadget that counts minutes.

So we renamed the company. We also gave it a warmer look, simpler plan names, and a new Studio plan for businesses with more than one person taking appointments.

If you already use Timelish, you do not start over. You just start saying Hacado.

Why we changed the name

A booking site is often the first time a new client meets the business. They should remember you - the room, the people, the feeling - not a product that sounds like software.

Timelish put time in the foreground. Useful, a little cold. It was easy to mix up with other “time / book / schedule” names, and it did not feel like somewhere you would actually sit down.

We wanted a name that sounds like a place. You would not call a salon after a feature. We did not want to call this after one either.

What Hacado means

Hacado sits next to avocado on purpose.

An avocado is simple, round, and a little green - cream on the inside, a leaf, a pit in the middle. That is the feeling we wanted: warm, familiar, nothing that sounds like a settings screen. Easy to say. Easy to remember. A little alive.

The colors follow that: cream like the flesh, sage like the leaf, a dark brown like the pit, and a touch of gold. You can still use your own logo, colors, and fonts. The starting point is just softer, so the page already feels like a real business.

The name also has to work when someone hears it once and types it. Your public page can be yourname.hacado.me. Read it out loud - it is the same word. Later you can use your own address (yourname.com) if you want. Hacado is the short name in the middle, so a client does not have to remember a long product title.

Timelish is the old name. Hacado is the one we will use from here.

What stays the same

If you already have a Timelish site:

• Your bookings and clients stay put

• Your pages, hours, and brand stay put

• You can keep using the product the way you already do

You will see Hacado on the site and in emails as we finish the change. You do not need to rebuild anything.

A new plan for teams: Studio

Along with the new name, we are making it clearer who each plan is for - and adding one for when it is no longer just you.

Studio is for businesses where more than one person takes appointments.

You get everything in Solo, and:

• 5 people on the team to start

• More people from $4 a month each

• Each person can have their own hours and calendar

• More text reminders included each month (300)

Clients still see one website and one brand. You can see who’s free, who’s booked, and who’s working that day.

That is the right fit for a salon with several stylists, a clinic with more than one practitioner, or a studio with different instructors.

You can change or cancel your plan anytime. No long contract.

The three plans, in plain terms

The plans are named after the room, not a software upgrade. We did not want “Pro” or “Team.” Those sound like a settings screen. Solo and Studio sound like how you already introduce the business: “It’s just me,” or “We have a studio.”

Free - see if it fits

A first visit. Try the chair.

• Up to 15 bookings a month

• One service

• A small website with your name and look

• Your Google or Outlook calendar stays in sync

• Email (and optional text) reminders

A good way to try Hacado without paying.

Solo - for a one-person practice

Everything in Free, and:

• Clients can pay online when they book

• In-store card payments can show up in Hacado too, so you see how you got paid

• Use your own web address

• Unlimited bookings, services, and clients

• Gift cards, discounts, and promotions

• A waitlist when you’re full

• Forms for new-client questions

• A blog for news and updates

• A client login so people can manage their own bookings

• 100 text reminders included each month

This is the plan we recommend if it’s just you.

Studio - for a team

A room with more than one person working. Everything in Solo, plus the extra people, personal calendars, and extra text reminders above.

What Hacado is for, day to day

You shouldn’t need a separate website, a separate calendar, and a separate way to take money.

With Hacado you can:

• Let people book online, any time

• Build a simple site for your services, story, and contact details

• Take deposits or full payment

• Send reminders by email or text

• Put video visits on the calendar when you use Zoom or Google Meet

• Spell out cancellation and reschedule rules so clients see them before they book

• Sell gift cards that look like yours

• Offer a waitlist instead of turning people away

• Let clients change or cancel a booking themselves, within your rules

Free is for trying it. Solo is for working alone. Studio is for working with a team.
