Hey Product Hunt 👋
I’m Mark, the solo founder behind NoSho.app and today I’m excited (and a bit nervous!) to finally share it with you.
Over the past 25 years while designing experiences for brands like JD Sports, Hugo Boss, Superdry, Wattbike, E.ON and more. One thing has always been clear, businesses want people to checkout fast, and us customers want the same. Netflix, Amazon, Deliveroo and Uber have trained us to expect simplicity and instant action.
I work from home, I’m a parent and sometimes I want a haircut on my lunch yet trying to book something last minute is a maze. You Google it, you browse booking pages that make no sense, you check Instagram, you call them and 9 times out of 10 I give up.
This frustration got me thinking and that’s when it clicked. What if there was a simple way for customers to book last-minute availability and a better way for businesses to list them, as these slots exist but we can't find them?
I asked around, my partner and friends felt the same. Businesses said they end up posting availability on Instagram stories, replying to DMs and juggling messages while trying to work.
So I started working on NoSho. A platform for service-based businesses to create a quick profile, without downloading anything and learning a new system. They can easily build a waitlist and list availability that instantly emails customers when a new slot goes live. Bookings are secured via a deposit and reminders are sent via WhatsApp and email. Customers only see the times the business has added, no hunting for services that aren’t available. Just what you can book, right now. It's built for people who want something clean and simple, which is everyone.
NoSho gives businesses one smart link to:
✅ Build a waitlist
✅ Fill last-minute availability
✅ Take secure deposits
If you know a Stylist, Barber, Nail, Brow, Lash Tech, Beautician, PT, Photographer, Tattoo Artist or any business that hates chasing DMs or wants a better waitlist, please share www.nosho.app
Thank you for reading and I hope NoSho helps busy people like me and gives businesses a smoother way to get booked securely 🙏

@mark_nosho If I manually add a last minute slot to NoSho, does it have two way sync with my Google Calendar to ensure I haven't accidentally double booked a personal commitment during that time?
NoSho.app
@mohsinproduct Hi and thanks for the question. If we try read everything in a user calendar it would get confusing fast, as we would have to guess what’s personal, what’s work and what another booking system has already placed. Most appointment tools like Fresha or Timely are also push-only for the same reason.
With NoSho you create a real, secure booking. Not an Instagram post, a story or a DM where someone might flake or not show up. When a client books, the deposit commits them and the slot is added to your calendar. It keeps you in control and avoids all the roulette people are used to on social media and lost conversations.
If another booking system handles your advance bookings, you should mark those times as busy (on NoSho) in your calendar. This would keep things clean, but most businesses only share the last-minute slots they actually want filled fast, and NoSho is built for that real-world use.

@mark_nosho I really enjoyed your story, those pain points are very relatable, and I think most people have faced something similar. Congratulations on your launch!

@tetiana_hryshmanovska Thank you, I appreciate you taking the time to look over it.

I’ve been waiting for something like this. Booking systems are fine until you need a last-minute appointment. This looks really nice and simple, to see what’s actually available right now. Game changer for anyone who runs a service business.

Feels like it hits a real pain. I’m always trying to squeeze a lunchtime haircut and end up doom‑scrolling booking pages. One link + deposit makes sense. How do you handle last‑minute cancels so both sides feel safe? Way better than IG Story roulette.
NoSho.app
@alexcloudstar Exactly! I was so done with doom-scrolling and giving up, it hit a real pain point with me and my partner working from home.
When someone cancels, the business just adds that slot back into NoSho (easily) and every person on their waitlist gets an email that it’s now available. Whoever books first secures it with a deposit. Both sides feel safer because the client commits up front and the business isn’t left hanging or answering countless messages.
It's amazing how many businesses play Instagram roulette, it's all I'm seeing since building NoSho.

Congrats! Love how clean and stress-free the booking flow looks. Rooting for you!

@abod_rehman Really appreciate the feedback, thank you. I've designed this to be easy and intuitive for all businesses, who aren't technical. Which is why I've made this as web application, so there isn't anything to download, integrate or new to learn.
