Manage your freelance schedule as your business grows
This page is for freelancers who run their business on their own. You manage the work, the calendar, and every booking yourself. If you add team members later, you can easily manage their working hours and appointments in Picktime scheduling software.
Your Calendar Is Yours
Your work and personal time can share one calendar. Clients only see the times you make available, not what fills the rest of your day.

Every message about finding a time takes you away from paid work. Let clients book an available time without the back-and-forth.

A new team member may need their own working hours and bookings. Picktime's scheduling software for freelancers lets you manage their working hours and bookings alongside your own.

The scheduling is not the problem. Being the only person is.
You know what every freelancer deals with? You handle the work and every booking on your own. When you are with a client, you cannot answer messages. When you stop to answer, you stop working. That means every booking request takes time away from paid work. By the time you reply, the time the client wanted may already be gone. They may simply book someone else who is available.
That’s where Picktime’s scheduling software for freelancers makes booking easier. Your Booking Page stays open while you work, so clients can easily find available slots in their local time zone and book without confusion or back-and-forth messages.

What one person needs from it
Four Things You Need When You Work Solo
When you are doing everything yourself, these four things make the biggest difference. They keep working while you handle the work that matters.
Booked22:40, by themConfirmed
A page that stays open when you’re busy
Clients can pick from the hours you left free, whenever they are ready to book. They do not need an account, and you do not need to reply.
Your calendar knows when you’re busy
Connect your calendar to see all your appointments in one place. With two-way Calendar Sync, you can also block busy times from your Booking Page.
No Time-Zone Guessing
Clients see your available times in their own time zone with a free online scheduling tool. No early calls, late arrivals, or time-zone math in emails. This makes it easier to schedule meetings with clients in different locations.
Set the Rules. Skip the Replies
Set how much notice you need, how far ahead clients can book, and when they can make changes. Your Booking Page follows the booking limits you've set.
Who runs it
Set It Up. Share It. Get Booked. No IT Required
When you're working independently, setting up online appointments should be simple. You shouldn't need technical experience just to let clients book with you. That is exactly why free scheduling software for freelancers should be simple. Add your services, set how long they take, choose your real working hours, and connect the calendar you already use. That is it. Your booking page is ready.
And here’s the good part. You do not need a developer to build an integration or to follow a long manual. Online scheduling software for freelancers offers a booking page link you can share anywhere. Put it in your email signature, on your website, in your social profile, or behind a button on another site. It means setup is simple, and you can spend less time configuring it and more time doing the work you get paid for.
If it stops being one of you
Scheduling Software for Freelancers That Grows With Your Work
You do not pay more just because you get busier. The plan changes when your business needs another person or place.
-
Whether you manage appointments alone or work with a small team, Picktime helps you organize bookings, working hours, and locations in one place.
-
Every new team member gets their own working hours and bookable services. Clients can choose them by their name or book an available time with that person.
-
Your studio can have different hours from your client site. Set each location’s schedule separately, while both stay visible on one calendar.
What it costs
Free forever, and you only pay when there is more than one of you
The free plan is a plan rather than a trial. There is no end date, no card, and nothing that quietly stops in a fortnight.

Questions
Scheduling software for freelancers: common questions
What can freelancers do with Picktime’s Free plan?
Picktime’s free scheduling software for freelancers includes a booking page, unlimited appointments, email notifications, PayPal payments, and mobile apps. You can manage up to three team members across two locations. Email reminders, two-way calendar sync, and automatic time zone conversion are available on paid plans. For the latest plan features and limits, see Picktime pricing.
Do I need a website to let clients book me?
No. Picktime gives freelancers a booking page with its own link, so you can accept appointments without creating a website. Add your services, set your availability, and share the link through email, social media, or messages. Clients can view your available time slots and book directly.
Will clients see what is on my personal calendar?
No. Clients only see the time slots available on your Picktime Booking Page, not your personal calendar events or their details. With two-way calendar sync, you can also prevent busy times on your connected calendar from being offered for booking. This helps protect your personal time and privacy.
How do I stop clients from booking me at 8:00 a.m.?
You can control your booking hours using Picktime’s Availability Controls. Set your working days, choose your start and end times, and add breaks when needed. Your Booking Page shows available appointments based on those settings, so clients cannot book outside the hours you have made available.
Can clients pay when they book?
Yes. Picktime lets freelancers accept online payments during the booking process. You can connect a supported payment provider and choose whether to collect a deposit or the full amount. PayPal is available on the free plan, while Starter and Pro also support Stripe and Square, helping you collect payments without separate follow-up messages.
What if I work with clients in different time zones?
Picktime’s Timezone Conversion helps freelancers schedule appointments with clients in different locations. When automatic conversion is enabled, clients see available appointment times in their local time zone. This feature is available on Starter and Pro, helping you avoid confusion when arranging meetings across time zones.
How can clients change an appointment without messaging me?
Picktime lets clients reschedule or cancel appointments through links in their booking confirmation emails. You can enable these links in your notification settings and control how close to the appointment changes are allowed. Clients can manage their bookings without sending you separate messages, saving time for both of you.
What happens if I hire someone later?
You can add new team members through Picktime’s Team Management feature without starting over. Assign their services, working hours, and locations so clients can book appointments based on their availability. You can manage the team's appointments from one Picktime account as your freelance business grows.
