A Notion alternative for coaches and therapists
Every session you take is an hour, and every hour you give away without thinking about it is one you will want back on Thursday.
Why coaches and therapists use Notion
Client notes and session records in one flexible place, which suits a practice well.
Where it stops
Nothing in it lets a client book, and nothing in it protects the gap between two sessions.
The week coaches and therapists actually have
Sessions at times that suited whoever booked first, notes to write between them that never quite fit, and a stretch of admin that happens after the last client because it never got a slot. The practice runs on a calendar and the calendar is filled by other people.
Booking is negotiated by email, every time
Finding a time costs several messages, and the messages come out of the same day the session was going to be in.
In UnaTask: A booking link that offers only the hours you chose to offer.
The gap between sessions is not free time
Notes, preparation and the breath before the next person are all real and all invisible, so they get booked over.
In UnaTask: Block them. A booking link will not offer an hour you have already spent.
Notes and follow ups live in a different place from the schedule
The session is on a calendar, the notes are in a document, and the follow up is in your head.
In UnaTask: The session, the notes and what comes next on the same object.
The business side never gets a slot
Invoicing, marketing and the website all wait for a gap that a client will take first.
In UnaTask: Give it a block and let the reschedule counter tell you the truth about how often you move it.

Common questions
Why do coaches and therapists use Notion?
Client notes and session records in one flexible place, which suits a practice well.
Where does Notion stop working for coaches and therapists?
Nothing in it lets a client book, and nothing in it protects the gap between two sessions.
Should we leave Notion?
Not necessarily, and we would rather say so. Keep Notion if the thing you need is a place to write, document and think out loud together. Move if the missing piece is the week itself: hours on a calendar, for everyone, before the work is promised.
Can clients book without seeing my other appointments?
Yes. They see offered slots only, never your calendar, and blocked time is never offered.
Is it free for a solo practice?
Yes, with every feature, including booking links. You pay only when somebody joins you.
