About Waitkeep
A small site for a pro whose week is full: one standing waitlist, a private position page for everyone on it, and offers held until they are answered.
Why it exists
A tutor, personal trainer, dog groomer or dog trainer with a full week hears the same question every few days: any space yet? The answer usually lives in a notes app, a spreadsheet or a pile of messages, and it is easy to forget who asked first. Waitkeep keeps that list in one place, in order, and gives each person on it a page that answers the question for them. Their number updates as the list moves, so the messages stop.
When a slot opens, the pro taps Offer, names the slot and sends a prepared message from their own phone. The place is held for a set time, the person accepts or declines on the same page, and the pro sees the outcome straight away. Nothing is offered automatically: the pro decides who is next.
How it is built
The pages are static files. A small server keeps the lists, the people on them and the offers in one database on Cloudflare. The pro signs in with a passkey, so the site never holds a password, and families need no account at all. Every link is a long random secret, and the database keeps only a scrambled form of it, so a copy of the database would not open a single position page.
It asks for as little as it can. Families give an adult's name, one way to reach them, and who the place is for as a nickname, initials or a pet name. It never asks for a child's full name, date of birth or school, and refuses questions that would. Contact details are seen only by the pro. There is no advertising, no tracking script and no data shared for marketing.
Who it is for
Solo tutors, personal trainers, dog groomers and dog trainers, and small practices like them, who keep a standing list of people waiting for a regular slot. It suits a list of a few names as well as a long one.
What it is not
It is not booking, a calendar or a way to take payments, and it never promises anyone a place: a position is the pro's current order. It does not email families, ever. Waitkeep is not affiliated with any booking platform, tutoring agency, training franchise or grooming chain.
