Studio

Every number your studio makes, added up and handed back to you in plain language.

Built around the questions you actually ask
"Am I actually making money this month?"

Your fixed costs sit against live revenue, so you watch the breakeven point coming instead of finding out in July. Full P&L, with GST tracked as you go.

"Which stylist should I be worried about?"

Revenue, rebook rate, new clients and product sales for every stylist, side by side. Compare anyone against last week, last month or last year.

"Why aren't clients coming back?"

Rebook rate is tracked every single day, split between returning and new, so a slide shows up in weeks rather than months. New clients are logged one by one until they book again.

"Tax time is a nightmare."

GST, BAS and your P&L build themselves as you enter each day. Export the lot and send it straight to your accountant.

"Can my team see this without seeing the money?"

Staff log in with their own PIN and see only their own stats and the leaderboard, counted in clients rather than dollars. The revenue stays yours.

"Should I hire, or let someone go?"

Compare weeks, months, years and stylists against each other. Set goals per person, track hours on timesheets, plan the roster, and invoice contractors straight from the same numbers.

Entries take seconds and save themselves, and everything syncs across every device the moment you save. Front desk, office, or your phone.

Made for studios that care about their numbers.

Welcome to sums.
Clarity for you and your business. Track revenue, stylists, clients and growth, quietly and beautifully.
Take a guided tour
A short walkthrough highlights each button on the screen and tells you what to tap (about two minutes). Press Skip or Esc to stop anytime.
Getting started
First-time setup (owners)

Do these in order the first time. After that, only adding your daily numbers is a regular habit.

1. Add your team
  1. In the left menu, under the Manage heading, tap Stylists.
  2. Type a person's name and press + Add. Repeat for everyone.
  3. If someone is a contractor (you pay them by invoice), tick the contractor box next to their name.
2. Give each person a PIN (recommended)
  1. In the left menu, tap Account & Settings.
  2. Set your own Owner PIN first: it protects your financial pages.
  3. Set a PIN for each stylist, or leave it blank and let them pick their own the first time they log in.
3. Bring in your history (optional)
  1. Open the Weekly page and use the CSV import to bring in past weeks from a spreadsheet in one go.
  2. Or just start fresh from today: the trends build quickly.
4. Put it on every device
  1. Open the same link on the salon iPad, your phone, and anywhere else you work.
  2. Tap Log In and enter the same studio email and password (once per device).
  3. Everything appears automatically, backed up and shared between devices.
On an iPhone or iPad, open the link in Safari, tap the Share button, then Add to Home Screen. It becomes an app icon, stays signed in, and opens full-screen.
Daily basics for staff

Everything you need, step by step. Don't worry, you can't break anything.

1. Logging in
  1. Open the link your manager gave you.
  2. If a sign-in box appears, type the studio email and password the owner gave you, then press Log In. (You only do this once on a new phone or computer.)
  3. A screen with everyone's names appears. Tap your name.
  4. Type your 4-digit PIN. Never logged in before? The first 4 numbers you type become your PIN, so pick something you'll remember.
2. Seeing your numbers
  1. Look at the menu on the left side of the screen.
  2. Tap Leaderboard to see how the team is doing and how you're tracking.
3. Logging out when you're done
  1. Tap the lock icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
  2. That takes it back to the name screen, ready for the next person.

Forgot your PIN? Just ask the owner, they can reset it in a few seconds.

Roles: who sees what
  • Owner: everything. Financials, P&L, Tax & BAS, PIN management, cloud controls.
  • Manager: the full app except P&L and Tax & BAS (financials stay with the owner).
  • Stylist: the Leaderboard with team rankings and their own stats only. They can't see the team's totals or financials.
Good to know
  • You can hide the leaderboard from a specific stylist in Account & Settings.
  • The app locks back to the name screen after a period of inactivity. Set how long in Account & Settings.
  • PINs protect roles inside the studio. The studio email and password protect your data between devices, so only share it with people you trust to log in.
Everyday use
Adding your daily numbers
Entering a day
  1. In the left menu under Manage, tap Add Entry.
  2. Pick the day from the week strip at the top (Prev and Next move between weeks). It starts on today.
  3. Fill in the studio totals: returning and new clients (and whether they rebooked), service dollars, product sales and units, how many stylists worked, plus any notes about the day.
  4. Fill in each stylist's own numbers in their section: their clients, rebooks, service and product sales. This is what feeds the Leaderboard and Stylist Performance pages.
Contractor days
  • If you've marked someone as a contractor, a contractor section appears on the entry form. Enter their clients and takings there.
  • Contractor takings are kept separate from studio revenue. What the studio earns from them is the commission, and that shows on the Weekly page and the Contractor Invoice.
Saving and fixing mistakes
  • There is no save button. It saves as you type: watch for the small ✓ Saved pill in the bottom corner.
  • Typed something wrong? Reopen that day in Add Entry and change it. The change flows through every page and every device automatically.
Dashboard, Weekly, Yearly and Compare
  • Dashboard: your week and your year at a glance. The first place to look each morning.
  • Weekly: a week-by-week table of every day: clients, product, service, daily total, contractor commission and studio net. This is also where you bulk-import past data from a spreadsheet (CSV).
  • Yearly: the big-picture trend, month by month.
  • Compare Months: put any two months side by side to see what changed.
Importing past data
  1. On the Weekly page, open the import panel and paste or upload your spreadsheet rows.
  2. Check the preview looks right, then press Import All.
Leaderboard

Friendly competition, updated live as entries are added.

Choosing what to rank
  • Metric: Rebook Rate (the share of clients who rebooked before leaving), Total Clients, Revenue, Shifts Worked, Clients Rebooked, Product Revenue, or Product Units.
  • Period: This Week, Last Week, This Month, Last Month, or This Year.
  • Whatever you pick is remembered for the whole studio, on every device.
What stylists see
  • Stylists see the rankings and their own stats, never the studio's financial totals.
  • You can hide the leaderboard from a specific person in Account & Settings.
New Client Tracker
New Client Tracker
  • A per-stylist log of clients and their service. Tick off what happened: consult done, before and after photos, notes taken, product bought, and most importantly whether they rebooked.
  • Add a short memo per client (preferences, sensitivities, referrals) and their last visit date.
  • Use it to see whether new clients are coming back for a second visit, which is where retention is won or lost.
Goals & Targets
  • Set monthly targets for the studio: revenue, client count, rebook rates for returning and new clients, and product revenue.
  • Set individual targets per stylist too, great for reviews and check-ins.
  • Progress fills in automatically from your daily entries, so you always know if the month is on track.
Purchases & receipts

Where the owner or manager logs everything the studio buys: stock, supplies, equipment. Each purchase lands in that month's P&L automatically, so nothing needs entering twice.

1. Log a purchase
  1. In the left menu, under Finance, tap Purchases.
  2. Fill in the date, what it was and who from, pick a category, and type the amount.
  3. Press + Add purchase. The list below and the month totals update straight away.
2. Attach the receipts

The easy weekly routine: photograph the receipts on your phone, AirDrop them to the studio computer, then drag them from Finder onto the Log a purchase card. You can drop a whole handful at once:

  1. The first one attaches immediately and the button shows how many more are waiting.
  2. Each time you press + Add purchase, the next receipt steps up by itself, so you just read each receipt off the screen, type its details, and add.
  3. Press the ✕ on the receipt button to skip one that's out of order.
  • Forgot one? Drop a file straight onto a purchase in the list to attach it there, or tap the faint 📎 on that row.
  • The 📎 Attach photo / PDF button also opens the normal file picker (you can select several at once), which is what to use on the iPad or a phone.
  • On a phone or iPad, tapping 📎 Attach photo / PDF also offers Take Photo, so you can snap the receipt with the camera right there while logging the purchase, no AirDrop needed.
  • Photos are shrunk automatically to keep the app fast. Emailed PDF receipts work too, as long as they're under 600KB; bigger ones are easiest to screenshot and attach as a photo.
3. View, download or remove one
  1. Tap the 🧾 (photo) or 📄 (PDF) on any purchase to open the receipt.
  2. From there you can Download it as a tidy named file (date, item and amount in the filename) or Remove it. Removing a receipt never deletes the purchase.
4. Send them to Xero or your bookkeeper
  1. Open Export Reports and find the Purchase Receipts card.
  2. Pick a month (or a whole year) and press ⬇ ZIP.
  3. You get one zip holding every receipt as a named file, plus a purchases.csv listing every purchase for the period and which receipt file belongs to it. Upload it to Xero or email it on as-is.
Receipts sync between devices like everything else. A faded 🧾 on a purchase means the photo was added on another device and hasn't arrived on this one yet: open the tracker on that device to let it sync, then it appears here too.
Chat (owner & manager)
  • A private message thread between the owner and the manager, under Staff in the left menu. Stylists can't see it.
  • Messages appear live on any device with the tracker open, and a red badge on the Chat menu item shows how many you haven't read yet.
  • Press Enter to send, Shift+Enter for a new line. History is saved and syncs like everything else, so you can scroll back anytime.
  • If a message is typed while offline it shows waiting to send and goes through by itself once the connection is back.
There are no phone notifications when the tracker is closed: chat is live while the app is open and catches up when it's reopened. For anything urgent, still text or call.
Staff pages
Timesheets

Track staff hours each week and export them for payroll. Owners and managers only.

1. Open timesheets
  1. In the left menu, under Staff, tap Timesheets.
2. Add anyone who is not a stylist
  1. Your stylists are already listed. For anyone else (front desk, cleaner, casual staff), tap the Timesheet staff bar at the top to open it, type their name, and press + Add.
3. Pick the week
  1. Use Prev and Next to move between weeks. Each pay week runs Tuesday to Monday.
  2. Tip: tap Copy Last Week to bring across last week's times, then just change whatever is different.
4. Enter the hours
  1. For each person, on each day they worked, type a Start time and an End time (for example 9:00 and 17:00), plus the Break in minutes.
  2. The hours are worked out for you automatically. There is no save button, it saves as you type.
  3. Entered a day by mistake? Tap the ✕ at the end of that row to clear the whole day.
5. Send it to payroll
  1. Export CSV gives a plain spreadsheet of the week.
  2. Xero Payroll CSV gives a file ready to import into Xero.
  3. Print makes a clean printout to keep or hand over.
Roster Planner
  • Add everyone to the Shared Staff pool at the top (up to 6 staff colours).
  • Two week grids sit side by side. Rename them to anything (Week A and Week B, This Week and Next Week, whatever suits).
  • Click any cell to assign someone to that day and shift. Click again to change or clear it.
  • Tap Highlight Differences to instantly see where the two weeks don't match.
Money pages (owner only)
Contractor Invoice
  • Builds a weekly invoice for your chair-rental contractor from the contractor amounts in your daily entries.
  • Set the Commission % charged on their takings. There's also a separate cash commission rate that stays internal and never prints on the invoice.
  • Fill in your business details once (name, ABN, contact) and they appear on every invoice.
  • Print it or export it. The Weekly page shows the same commission per day, so the numbers always agree.
Studio revenue never includes the contractor's own takings. What the studio earns from a contractor is the commission.
P&L and Tax & BAS
P&L
  • A monthly profit and loss built from your daily entries, so revenue is always up to date.
  • Enter your fixed monthly expenses once (rent, software, insurance and so on) and adjust the variable costs month by month.
  • Staff Wages fills itself from timesheets: the month's worked hours × each person's hourly rate (set in Account & Settings), plus super at your Tax & BAS rate, shown as read-only rows. Under the gross figure it also splits out the estimated net pay to staff vs PAYG withheld for the ATO, so you can see where the wage money actually goes. Months with no timesheet hours keep the manual figure, and you can switch the whole thing off in the Fixed Recurring Expenses panel.
  • Instantly see each month's profit and how the margin is trending.
Tax & BAS
  • Running totals from your entries and expenses to make BAS time painless.
  • Gross wages and PAYG withheld now pre-fill from the timesheet wages too (the PAYG figure is an estimate; type over it with the exact payroll number if yours differs).
  • Use it as a guide for what to set aside, and hand the summary to your bookkeeper.
Export Reports

One-click exports of everything, ready for your accountant or your own records:

  • Daily Log: every day's full detail.
  • Weekly Summary: week-by-week totals with commission and studio net.
  • Monthly Summary and Yearly Overview: the bigger picture.
  • Stylist Performance: per-person numbers.
  • Contractor Invoice: gross, commission deduction, and amount due.
  • Purchase Receipts: a month's or year's receipts as named files in one zip, plus a purchases CSV, ready for Xero or your bookkeeper. See Purchases & receipts under Everyday use for the full flow.
Your data and devices
How saving and sync work
  • Every change saves on the device instantly (the ✓ Saved pill), then uploads to the cloud within a second or two.
  • Connected in the bottom-left corner means you're backed up and live-syncing. Changes made on one device appear on the others automatically.
  • If the internet drops, keep working. Changes queue up on the device and upload as soon as you're back online or reopen the app.
  • To sign one device out, tap Disconnect this device under the Connected status.
  • Lost a phone, or someone left? In Account & Settings, use Revoke all device access: it sets a new studio password and signs every device out at once.
iPhone and iPad users: add the app to your Home Screen (Share, then Add to Home Screen). It stays signed in and behaves like a real app.
Troubleshooting
  • A device is showing old numbers. Check the bottom-left says Connected. Close and reopen the app: it re-checks and re-syncs every time it comes back to the front.
  • It says "Connect to cloud". That device has been signed out. Tap it and log in with the studio email and password. Anything entered while signed out uploads automatically after you reconnect.
  • "Cloud sync failed, retrying" appeared. Usually just a dropped connection. It keeps retrying by itself and clears once you're back online. Nothing is lost.
  • Forgot a PIN. The owner can reset any PIN in Account & Settings.
  • Forgot the studio password. Tap Log In, then Forgot password: a reset link is emailed to the studio address.
  • Numbers look wrong. Nearly always a typo in one day's entry. Find the day on the Weekly page, then fix it in Add Entry.
