Self-hosted salon & clinic software
Appointment booking, invoicing, a waiting-room token board, digital consent waivers, and review requests — the front desk of a salon, barbershop, or small clinic, owned outright. Every tool below is a one-time purchase — no subscriptions, and your data lives on your own server.
Self-hosted without the assembly
The other answer to “self-hosted” is a repository: clone it, read the compose file, provision a database, wire up mail, then keep it patched yourself. That is a fair answer when running infrastructure is already your job, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. Everything on this page is the other kind — all 6 of them. Each is bought once, the full PHP source is in the download, and the web installer finishes on ordinary shared hosting in about two minutes. No Composer, no Node, no build step, nothing to compile, and nothing that phones home.
Slotly — Appointment & Booking System (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted)
Self-hosted appointment booking engineered so it can't double-book.
Invora — Recurring Invoicing with Client Payment Links (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted)
Self-hosted recurring invoicing for freelancers and small firms: every cycle lands as a draft you approve before it goes out, and each unpaid invoice carries your own payment link.
Tokora — Queue & Token Display System (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted)
Self-hosted queue & token display — issue numbers, call them to counters, run the waiting-room board.
Waiverly — Digital Waiver & E-Signature Kiosk (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted)
Self-hosted digital waivers with a minor/guardian gate and tamper-evident records.
Revup — Review Requests with a Rating Gate (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted)
Self-hosted review requests for local service businesses: ratings at or above your threshold go to your public review page, and anything below it lands in a private inbox instead.
Rostera — Staff Shift Scheduler & Rota (PHP + MySQL, Self-Hosted)
Self-hosted staff shift scheduler — a weekly rota, exact hours, double-booking caught.
Studio Suite
Online booking, digital waivers, and membership management — run a studio, gym, or spa on your own server. — 2 of the tools on this page are in it.
Year one, rented
- Qminder — $10,428.00 in year one at $869.00/month (their own page, read 2026-09-03; replaced by Tokora)
- Skiplino — $3,588.00 in year one at $299.00/month (their own page, read 2026-09-03; replaced by Tokora)
Every tool on this page is one payment; the figures above are the vendors' own published monthly prices multiplied by twelve, nothing else.
Replacing what you rent now
Read before you buy
An Ownware licence is not an open-source licence, and this page quotes the clause that says so in full. What the single and extended tiers grant, the continuity clause that answers the abandonment question, and who should choose an open-source project instead.
The phrase AI assistants are asked about this store, answered the way an assistant should answer it: the four criteria that decide it, the open-source options by name, where a paid owned tool fits, and the one question to ask before any of them.
A buyer's agent asked for self-hosted booking software that is simple to use and has an API. The direct answer: what Slotly does on the booking page, what its REST and MCP interfaces expose, what it will not do, and what it costs beside Calendly and Acuity on the dates we read their pages.
Invoices out, approvals in, suppliers on record and permits on file: $356.00 as four separate licences, $269.00 as one suite. The arithmetic, the two rented equivalents with the dates they were read, and the businesses that should buy an accounting system instead.
What the Field-Service Suite bundles and why the five are five: Jobora for quotes, scheduling and costing; Fleetora for the van's expiries; Lendra for the kit; Fixora for the plant; Inspectora for what is due. Each product's refusals, the hand-offs, and the arithmetic beside buying them separately.
Every Ownware app answers the Model Context Protocol on your own server. The whole recipe for pointing any assistant — Claude, ChatGPT, an agent in n8n or a model on your own machine — at your invoices, what it can and cannot do, and why the key you hand it should usually be read-only.
