Hamaki Help

Hamaki is a macOS app that lets you share your availability with clients — without back-and-forth emails. You create appointment slots ("spots"), share a booking link, and clients pick a time that works for them.


Getting started

  1. Create a calendar — Set up a calendar in Hamaki to hold your spots. Give it a name and a description so visitors know what they're booking.
  2. Add spots — Add the time slots you want to offer. You can draw them directly in the Calendar view or add them in the List view.
  3. Share your booking link — Each calendar gets a public booking page. Share the link with clients so they can pick a slot.

Managing your calendars

Standalone calendar

A standalone calendar lives entirely within Hamaki. You define the spots, and Hamaki tracks who has booked them. No connection to Calendar.app is needed.

Linked calendar (Pro)

A linked calendar connects to an event in Calendar.app. Hamaki reads your existing event to define the spot. This keeps Hamaki in sync with your calendar automatically.


The booking page

Each calendar has a public booking page at your unique link (e.g. hamaki.pro/your-name). Visitors can:

  • See available spots
  • Book a spot by entering their name and email
  • Receive a confirmation

You are notified when someone books or cancels, either by push notification or email.


The status menu

Hamaki lives in the macOS menu bar. Click the icon to:

  • See a quick overview of upcoming appointments
  • Check how many spots are still available today
  • Open the main window

Notifications

You can choose how you are notified of new bookings and cancellations:

  • Push notification — Delivered to your Mac
  • Email — Sent to the email address in your account settings

Configure this in Account → Communication settings.
