Build the native iOS and Android app of your coaching practice without code: a session calendar synced with Google Calendar, an intake questionnaire, a client-only area and notifications.

Each slot takes only one booking, and each booking triggers a confirmation email, to you and to your client. ![](https://portalresize.ww-cdn.com/beautifull_pict/v1/334x573/50x50/6/92/img/1724739089551_31/booking_ia_bloc1.png) ## Each session format has its own length ### Thirty minutes to get acquainted, one hour for a session, an hour and a half for the review Create one section per session format, each with its own slot length, and link them to your Google Calendar. Set your days and hours and your exceptional closures, and leave a gap between your time ranges to reread your notes before the next client. The slots offered are calculated from these settings. ![](https://portalresize.ww-cdn.com/beautifull_pict/v1/497x399/50x50/6/92/img/1724739090288_31/booking_ia_bloc2.png) ## Your Google Calendar stays the reference ### Synced both ways, with one calendar per coach if you work as a team Appointment booking connects to your Google Calendar: a session booked in the app is added to it, and a slot you block in Google is no longer offered. If you work with other coaches, each one has their own calendar, with their hours and time off, and the client chooses who to book with. ![](https://portalresize.ww-cdn.com/beautifull_pict/v1/497x221/50x50/6/92/img/1724739090901_31/booking_ia_bloc3.png) ## A client-only area, between sessions ![](https://portalstorage.ww-cdn.com/misc/1712045266954_31-light__users.svg) ### Exercises and audio recordings, visible only to the clients you add With Authentication, your clients sign in to the app; with User groups, you open to the clients you are coaching a section other visitors cannot see: this week's exercise, a self-observation grid, a guided visualization to listen to. A targeted push alerts the group when you publish. Access is set by group, not client by client: your session notes stay out of the app. ![](https://portalresize.ww-cdn.com/beautifull_pict/v1/680x541/50x50/6/92/img/1724739093855_31/booking_ia_bloc4.png) ## From first contact to the tenth session: what you set up, in practice Four settings, in this order. 1. 1 ### Your session formats Discovery session, session, end-of-coaching review: one section per format, with its own slot length. 2. 2 ### Your calendar Link your sections to your Google Calendar, then enter your hours and your time off, spacing out your time ranges if you want a break between two sessions. 3. 3 ### The intake questionnaire Create a Form section with your questions and choose the address that receives the answers. 4. 4 ### The client area Turn on Authentication, create the group of clients you are coaching and reserve the exercises section for it. Then publish the app yourself or with GoodBarber's publishing service. ## What your future clients find in the app ### Your approach Your method, your background and your training, on a page you keep up to date. ### Your packages Single session or coaching over several months: what each package includes, and its price. ### The intake questionnaire What brings them and what they expect, received by email before the first session; answers can be exported to CSV. ### In person or by video call Your office address, or how a remote session works with the video call tool you already use. ### Your terms Cancellation notice, session length, confidentiality: the rules set before you start. ### Free content Articles and audio episodes to discover how you work before booking. ### The coach who sees clients at the office A thirty-minute discovery session, then one-hour sessions on Tuesdays and Thursdays; Mondays stay blocked in their Google Calendar. ### The coach who works remotely All their sessions happen by video call; between two appointments, their clients find this week's exercise in their area. ### The coach who launches a program Their calendar is full: they film their method as modules and sell it by subscription, in the same app. [The coaching program subscription app](/membership/life-coaches-videos/) ## Three coaches, three calendars What about yours? Create the app and test your setup for 30 days, no credit card required. [Start for free](https://www.goodbarber.com/create/) ## AI in your coaching app Three concrete uses, with their price. To support ### A commitment log between two sessions Describe the section in the back office, for example a log where the client writes down the commitment made in session and ticks off what they did each day, and the AI Extension Builder generates it in your app, in your design. The data stays on their phone. Free To answer ### An assistant that answers from your articles “How does a discovery session work?” The Chatbot answers from your published articles, in the language of the question, and shows the articles its answer comes from. $35/month To operate ### This week's exercise published from Claude or ChatGPT The MCP server connects your app to the AI assistant you already use: you ask it to publish the exercise in the client area and schedule the notification, you confirm, it runs on your app. Included Extension Store The extensions behind a coaching practice. Appointment booking, Authentication and User groups are available from the Premium plan; the Pro plan includes them.

[See all prices](https://www.goodbarber.com/pricing/content/) ## Coach app: frequently asked questions **### Does the client pay for the session in the app?** No: Appointment booking reserves a slot, without payment. Your sessions are paid as they are today, by bank transfer, payment link or at your office, and your prices are shown on a page of the app. **### Does the app send a reminder before the session?** Not automatically: each booking triggers a confirmation email, to you and to your client. For a reminder, schedule a push notification from the back office. **### Can sessions take place by video call?** Yes, with the video call tool you already use: create a “Video session” section and send the link to your client. The app books the slot; it does not host the call. **### Can a client book all their coaching at once?** They book one session at a time, on a free slot, and can book the next ones in advance. Each booking triggers its own confirmation email. **### Where should session notes go?** Outside the app. The client area opens by group, not client by client: it suits the exercises and recordings shared by your clients, not personal session reports. What a client tells you stays in your notes. **### What about selling an online program?** Add Memberships to the same app: your video modules are reserved for subscribers, who pay through the App Store or Google Play. That is the topic of the [coaching program subscription app](/membership/life-coaches-videos/) page. **### How much does a coach's app cost?** A native iOS and Android app starts with the Premium plan; Appointment booking, Authentication and User groups are added to it, and the Pro plan includes them.
