Use case
Share availability over text, iMessage, or WhatsApp
People search for: share availability over text message
Plenty of real scheduling still happens in green bubbles and WhatsApp chats — contractors, friends of friends, parents, local services. Links get unfurled awkwardly; plain times just read.
Generate on your phone's browser, copy, paste. The other person replies with a time.

Practical tips
- 1
Shorten for mobile
Use a 1–2 day window for texts. Long lists are hard to read on a small screen.
- 2
Weekends need weekend hours
Expand day selection and hours if you are actually free on Saturday — defaults are weekday-oriented.
- 3
Edit the intro line
On casual threads, you can delete the formal intro and keep just the day lines.
Frequently asked questions
Does the recipient need the app?
No. Texts are just text.
Do booking links work in SMS?
They can, but they often look spammy and require a browser. Plain times avoid that.
Can I include the attribution line?
Yes — or delete it before sending if the thread is very casual.
