Booking · payments · a branded app — for independent studios
Halcyon is calm, complete studio software — scheduling, payments, memberships and your own iOS app, for one flat monthly price. No tiers. No add-ons. No sales calls to see a price.
01Why Halcyon exists
Somewhere along the way, the tools built to help studios started running them. Pricing pages became phone calls. Features you needed moved up a tier. The booking app put a marketplace — and three million strangers — between you and the people on your mats.
You didn’t open a studio to administrate software. You opened it to teach, to host, to build a room people come back to.
Halcyon is the quiet alternative: everything a small studio actually uses — scheduling, payments, memberships, reminders, a beautiful booking page, your own app — and nothing it doesn’t. Set it up in an afternoon. Then get back to the room.
02What you get
A hosted booking page and a one-line widget for the site you already have. Waitlists fill cancelled spots automatically; reminders go out without you thinking about them.

03The part nobody else includes
Every Halcyon studio gets its own iOS app — your name, your colors, your schedule. Not a listing inside somebody else’s marketplace.
Booking confirmations, waitlist wins and “class starts in 2 hours” nudges land on the lock screen — the channel email can’t touch.
Big platforms put your classes next to every gym in town and call it discovery. Your app has exactly one studio in it: yours.
Elsewhere a branded app is a four-figure add-on bolted onto an upper tier. Here it’s simply part of Halcyon.
04Switching
Most studios switch in a weekend — without losing a client, a pack balance or a Tuesday-night regular.
Download your client list from your current platform. Any CSV works — we’ve seen them all, including the ugly ones.
Clients, packs and schedules come across with you. We do the mapping and the cleanup, and you review the result before anything goes live.
Your booking page is live, your app is in review, your regulars book like nothing happened. Because for them, nothing did.
05Pricing
Month-to-month, cancel anytime, export everything anytime. Card processing at Stripe’s standard rate, paid to Stripe — your revenue never passes through us. No setup fee. No “implementation package.”
06An honest comparison
Mindbody is a fine company — for a 30-room chain with a marketing department. If that’s not you, you’re paying for their roadmap, not yours.
