How the idea started

I am Rakesh Phaiju, a software engineer from Nepal. A while back I spent a few months at home getting braces fitted. If you have had braces, you know how it goes: a dozen visits, each one three or four weeks after the last.

At the clinic, those visits were written down in a notebook. Nothing went into my phone and nobody sent me a reminder. Three weeks is a long time, and I missed several.

The clinic did try. They would call me, but by then I was already late and on the other side of town. The slot was gone for both of us. I had lost a visit, and they had lost an hour they could not fill at short notice.

That is when it became clear to me that the clinic was not being careless. Someone there was already doing this work by hand, one phone call at a time. They just had nothing that reached patients while there was still time to do something about it.

So I built the thing I kept wishing that clinic had. A booking page you can share, dates on the Bikram Sambat calendar people actually plan around, a confirmation email with the appointment attached so it lands in the client's own calendar, and a reminder before they come.

Sajilo Schedule is still growing, and I read every message that comes in. If something is missing for the way your clinic, salon or studio works, write to me and tell me.
