Occupancy calendar for small stays

Stop using
Excel.

InnGrid keeps your rooms and bookings on one clear board — guesthouses, B&Bs, cottages, agritourism. Day guests fit too: dog day care, day rooms, breakfast guests. Built to read one-handed, in the doorway, with no signal.

Free booking calendar for small stays. Premium adds Booking.com and Airbnb import, private iCloud sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac, multiple buildings, and calendar sharing.

iPhone · iPad · Apple Silicon Mac · 14-day free Premium trial

No fine print

A complete booking calendar for free. Upgrade to import Booking.com and Airbnb, sync every device, manage multiple buildings, and share a calendar with your team.

The reservation calendar costs nothing and works fully offline — no stripped-down version, no charge per room. Premium automates the rest: bookings imported from Booking.com and Airbnb, the same calendar on iPhone, iPad and Mac through your own private iCloud, several buildings on one board, and a calendar you can share with a co-host or cleaner — they pay nothing. Try it free for 14 days.

At a glance

A whole month, one screen.

Rooms down the side, nights across the top. Scroll the season and zoom from a week to a month — instant, offline, all on your device.

No double bookings

Overlaps you can’t miss.

InnGrid refuses two confirmed bookings on the same night. When stays do overlap they stack in plain sight, with a warning — never hidden behind each other.

Yours alone

No InnGrid account. No developer-hosted booking server.

Your bookings stay on your device. Premium can sync them through your private iCloud, and calendar import connects directly to the feed you provide.

Fast to log

A booking in three taps.

Tap a night, name the guest, save. Track who’s paid, who arrives today, and what the month earns.

Meals, counted

Who eats what, without a second list.

Mark Breakfast, Lunch or Dinner on a booking — InnGrid works out from the dates which day each one falls on. The kitchen sees today’s count, the cleaner’s list carries the meals, and the guest’s confirmation names them too. Free, like the rest of the calendar.

Work together

One calendar, your whole team.

Share a building’s calendar with a co-host or cleaner (Premium) — they see it, or even edit it, on their own Apple Account, free of charge. Changes land on both boards in moments, and the housekeeping list covers shared calendars too.

Thirty seconds

Premium is a small yearly plan with a 14-day free trial, or a one-time lifetime purchase — current pricing is in the app. Only the calendar’s owner needs Premium — the person you share with uses the free InnGrid and pays nothing. Your data is never deleted if Premium ends: every reservation and building stays on your board and stays editable, and calendars you already connected keep refreshing — iCloud sync pauses, calendars you shared stop updating for the people you shared them with, and adding new buildings or calendar feeds needs Premium again.

Comparing tools?

Honest comparisons, including where the other one wins.

Alternative to BedBooking

No per-room tiers.

BedBooking prices by room count — its smallest paid plan is €194.99 a year for 1–3 rooms on the German App Store. InnGrid’s calendar is free forever for any number of rooms; Premium is optional at €22.99 a year.

Alternative to Smoobu

The calendar, not the platform.

Smoobu starts at €29 a month for one unit, plus a 0.9% booking fee on that plan and from €9.60 a month for each extra unit. InnGrid has no monthly fee for the calendar and no commission — but also no two-way channel manager, which is Smoobu’s whole point.

Questions

Fair questions, straight answers.

Is the calendar really free?

Yes. The board, bookings, guests, stats, housekeeping, backup and exports are free forever — no per-room pricing, no ads. Premium adds Booking.com & Airbnb import, sync across iPhone, iPad and Mac, multiple buildings and calendar sharing — with a 14-day free trial.

Do I need an account?

No. There is nothing to sign up for — every booking lives on your device. Premium sync uses your own iCloud; we never see your data.

Does it work offline?

Fully. The calendar needs no signal at all — in the doorway, in the basement, in the mountains. Only iCloud sync and calendar import touch the network.

Can I see my Booking.com or Airbnb reservations?

Yes — paste the calendar (iCal) link from your listing and those bookings appear on the board, read-only, refreshed when you open the app (Premium). Exporting your own calendar as an .ics file is free.

I run more than one building.

Premium lets you add buildings and see every villa’s rooms on one board, grouped under its name — and the housekeeping list covers them all.

Can I track day guests who don’t stay overnight (breakfast, day care)?

Yes — that is exactly what day stays are for. In the booking form, turn on the “Day stay” toggle: the check-out row disappears and the entry fills exactly one day on the board, never touching the neighbouring days — unlike an overnight booking, whose bar runs from noon to noon by hotel convention. Several day stays can share one room on the same day, each as its own named bar. If most of your entries are same-day, turn on Settings → Same-day stays → “Day stays by default”; a day guest returning all week can be entered as a range — one entry per day, saved together and drawn as a single bar with the name shown once. There is no per-day guest counter yet — hosts put the number in the entry’s name (e.g. “Breakfast – 8 guests”). If what you serve is breakfast to guests who are already staying, you don’t need a day stay at all — mark Meals on their booking and the Day plan tab counts them under “Kitchen today”.

How does sync between iPhone, iPad and Mac work?

Premium sync runs through your own iCloud: sign in with the same Apple Account on each device, and a booking added on your phone shows up on your Mac within seconds. For a co-host or cleaner with a different Apple Account, use calendar sharing — see the next question.

How does calendar sharing work?

Each building’s calendar can be shared separately (Premium). In Settings → Calendar sharing, pick a building, add a participant by the e-mail address or phone number of their Apple Account, and choose what they may do — view, or view and edit. Then send them the calendar link. They open it on an iPhone, iPad or Mac with the free InnGrid installed (no InnGrid? the link routes to the App Store), and your calendar appears under “Shared with you” — on their own account, at no cost to them. Edits show up on both boards within moments while the app is open, and the housekeeping list covers shared calendars too. You can change a participant’s access or stop sharing at any time.

Good to know: the link works only for people you added first. If it arrives from a number that isn’t in the recipient’s contacts, iOS may show it as non-tappable — adding the sender to Contacts fixes that. There is no web version, so a participant needs an Apple device — Android or a PC browser won’t work.

Does it work with Google Calendar?

Yes, both ways. To see Google Calendar events in InnGrid, paste your Google calendar’s secret iCal address (Google Calendar → Settings → your calendar → “Secret address in iCal format”) into Calendar sync (Premium) — the same import that handles Booking.com and Airbnb. One honest limitation: recurring events import as a single entry (the first occurrence). To go the other way, export your InnGrid calendar as an .ics file (free) and import it into Google Calendar.

Can I get my data out?

Always, and for free: export an InnGrid data backup that you can import and merge later, a CSV file for spreadsheets, and an .ics calendar file — per room or for a whole building. Import such a file back and every booking lands in its own room. External OTA bookings return when their feeds sync again. Your bookings are never held hostage.

Which languages and devices?

English, Polish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Czech, Slovak and Ukrainian — on iPhone and iPad (iOS 17 or later), and on Apple Silicon Macs (the same app from the Mac App Store, in a freely resizable window).

How do I reach support?

E-mail [email protected] — questions, ideas and bug reports are all welcome. For sync questions it helps to attach the report from Settings → Help → “Copy diagnostics” (it contains counts and versions, never guest data).
