Gildhour for personal services
Every client, every appointment, paid.
Clients are families and regulars, not companies, and the money arrives by Venmo with no paper trail. Gildhour clocks the visit or the appointment, keeps tips apart, and sends a clean invoice when a client asks for one.
For babysitters, nannies, home care and elderly companions, dog walkers and pet sitters, hairstylists, barbers, nail and makeup artists, massage therapists, personal trainers and instructors.
Free during early access. No account, nothing to download from an app store.
1
Per walk, per hour or per session
Flat fee per visit for dog walks, hourly for babysitting, per appointment for a cut. Mix them on one week.
2
Tips on their own line
Cash and Venmo tips go in at clock-out. They count toward your real hourly, and stay off the taxed lines of an invoice.
3
A record for tax time
Every visit with its date, time and miles, exportable. Invoices for the clients who ask, numbered and dated.

Questions from personal services
Is it for salons with a booking system?
No. Gildhour records your time and pay; it does not take bookings. Keep your booking app and log the shift here.
Can I invoice a family?
Yes. Each client has a billing name and email; tick the visits of the month and share the PDF.
Does it work for a care agency?
As your personal record, yes. If the agency uses Gildhour for the team, you can join its company with their code.
Is client information private?
Yes. On Basic everything stays on your device and nothing is uploaded.
