Smart booking for massage therapists.

A scheduling app that actually understands your day — drive-time, double-bookings, drop-ins, and the kind of stuff only a working LMT thinks about.

The booking-app gap

Most apps see a 30-minute gap.
You see the 405 at lunch.

The booking tools out there were built for hair salons and dentists — places where every appointment happens at the same address. Massage therapy is different. Your day moves.

Kneado was built around that reality from day one.

Impossible. You'd need to teleport.
What's inside

Built for the day you actually have.

Five tools you'll use every shift — none of the bloat you won't.

Drive-time aware scheduling

Real-time travel between every client, factored into your availability automatically. No more "I can squeeze you in at 1."

One calendar, every modality

Mobile, studio, in-home, gym, hotel — Kneado handles them all in a single view. Color-coded, drag-rescheduled, never double-booked.

SOAP notes built in

Capture intake, assessment, and treatment notes directly in the client record. HIPAA-aware storage. Zero clipboard juggling.

Flawless same-day availability

Drop-ins, last-minute reschedules, and cancellations propagate instantly to your booking link. Fill the gap, not the panic.

Square + Google Calendar

Take payment through Square. Sync to your existing Google Calendar. Kneado fits the tools you already use, instead of replacing them.

Client-friendly booking link

Send a single link. Clients see only the windows that work — accounting for your travel, breaks, and capacity. They book in 20 seconds.

How it works

Three steps to a saner week.

From sign-up to your first booked client, takes about ten minutes.

1

Set your service area

Tell Kneado where you work — home base, mobile radius, studio addresses. We map the rest.

2

Share your booking link

Drop it in your bio, your texts, your business card. Clients pick a slot that already accounts for your day.

3

Show up on time

Drive directions, client notes, and SOAP intake all surface when you need them. You just bring the hands.

Founder's note
"
I missed a 2 PM in Santa Monica because the booking app didn't know about the 405 at lunchtime. So I built one that does. Kneado is the tool I wished I'd had every day for the last decade.

FAQ

Questions, asked and answered.

When does Kneado launch? +
We're in private beta now and rolling out wider access in waves. Join the waitlist and we'll reach out when there's a slot for you.
Is it really free? +
Yes — beta is free for everyone we let in. Pricing post-launch will be a flat monthly subscription, and beta testers will get a permanent discount.
Does it work for mobile-only therapists? +
Yes. Mobile is the use case Kneado was built around first. The drive-time engine treats every appointment as a real point on a map.
Will it work if I also have a studio? +
Absolutely. You can mix mobile, in-studio, and visiting locations on a single calendar. Each appointment carries its own address and travel time.
What happens to my existing clients and bookings? +
We import from CSV during onboarding and sync ongoing bookings with Google Calendar so nothing falls through the cracks.
How do payments work? +
Kneado integrates with Square for in-app payment and tipping. You keep your existing Square account; we just talk to it.
Is my client data safe? +
Client records and SOAP notes are encrypted at rest and in transit. We're building toward HIPAA compliance and will share full documentation before public launch.
Who's behind Kneado? +
Kneado is built by James Palmer, a working LMT in Los Angeles, alongside a small team of engineers. Reach us anytime at hello@kneado.app.
