Tidetime

Documentation overview

Tidetime is self-hosted appointment scheduling for a single company with multiple services and multiple providers. This folder holds the authoritative documentation. It is plain markdown so it reads well on GitHub, and the project website builds its guides from these same files.

What Tidetime is, in one paragraph

Section titled “What Tidetime is, in one paragraph”

One company runs the instance. Customers open a public booking page, choose a service, pick a provider or let Tidetime assign the least-busy available one, and book an open slot. Providers set their own hours, connect a calendar for conflict checks, and manage their bookings from a dashboard. Owners and admins control the service catalog, the team, branding, email, and integrations. Everything runs on your own server and your own PostgreSQL database.
