# Waitkeep

> One standing waitlist for a tutor, trainer, groomer or dog trainer. Each person on it gets a private page showing their place, and you offer slots from your phone.

Waitkeep keeps a standing waitlist for a solo tutor, personal trainer, dog groomer or dog trainer. The pro signs in with a passkey (WebAuthn; no password, no email address) and makes a list with a join link and QR code. A family or client joins with no account, giving an adult's name, a phone number or email address and a nickname, initials or pet name for who the place is for, and gets a private position link. Position = 1 + the number of people on the same list who are waiting or have an open offer and sit before them; the pro may move people. When a slot opens the pro taps Offer and sends a prepared message from their own phone; the place is held for exactly 48 hours of elapsed time (24, 48 or 72 on a paid plan), and the person accepts, declines and keeps their place, or leaves on the same page. An ended hold keeps the place and counts a missed offer. The app never offers the next person by itself. The pro sees every outcome in an Outcomes strip, a calendar feed of open holds, and at most one email per offer at a confirmed address; families never get email. Lists, people, offers and accounts are kept in a Cloudflare D1 database; link secrets, session ids and the recovery code are stored only as SHA-256 digests. Pros can download everything and delete their account (hard deleted after 7 days).
