Little Engine
Time is money. Little Engine handles both.
Little Engine helps independent service providers manage scheduling, client setup, and payments through text messages.
How Little Engine works
Little Engine gives independent service providers a dedicated business number. Clients text that number to book appointments, while providers manage their business from their phones.
Scheduling
Clients book and reschedule by text. Little Engine offers available times, confirms appointments, and sends reminders.
Client setup
New clients receive a link by text to provide their contact details and set up a payment method.
Payments
Little Engine helps providers collect appointment payments and track prepaid packages, with payment methods kept on file.
Connect your Google Calendar
Providers connect Google Calendar so Little Engine can read their calendars and events to check availability and help avoid scheduling conflicts.
Little Engine also creates and updates appointment events on calendars you own, and removes them when appointments are canceled. This keeps your calendar in sync with bookings and schedule changes.

Independent service providers make our lives better.
They're who we call when we want to get stronger. When we want to reimagine our look. When we want to take better care of our landscaping, our habits, our dogs, or our well-being. But who services the people serving us?
We started Little Engine to change that. Little Engine is a first-of-its-kind automation tool that helps independent service providers run their business right from their phones.
Founded in Austin, Texas, we're a team of independent service provider super fans. We grew up as children of providers and friends of practitioners. We know all about the work that happens behind the work: the calendar jenga, the chasing payments, the late-night Venmo requests. Little Engine simplifies all of that, right where business is already happening: in your text messages.
We're building a world where independent service providers don't have to do it all. They have a Little Engine on their team.
