Visual Design.
A warm interface with soft lavender accents, designed to feel calm and human in a space where most tools feel clinical or corporate. The dashboard prioritises clarity: the welcome screen sets a personal tone, the calendar takes centre stage, and patient management lives one tap away. Every screen uses generous whitespace and rounded geometry to soften what would otherwise be administrative work. The goal was to make practice management feel less like data entry and more like a quiet assistant supporting the clinician's day.

What I solved.
Solo psychologists in Portugal lose meaningful revenue every week to no-shows. They have no receptionist, no admin team, and no time to chase patients the night before each session. Existing software either overcharges for features they will never use, or forces them to abandon the paper agenda they actually trust. Appointly takes a different path. The product reads handwritten agendas through AI, syncs with Google Calendar or Outlook, books appointments directly in the app, and sends automatic WhatsApp reminders to patients before each session. The psychologist keeps their workflow. The app handles the rest.

Outcome.
A working web app built end-to-end in 60 days using Lovable. The product covers AI agenda scanning with handwriting recognition, calendar integration with Google and Outlook, manual appointment booking, patient management with contact details, automatic WhatsApp reminders at 48h, 24h, and 2h before each appointment, and a settings layer for subscription and profile management. Designed as a focused tool that does one thing well rather than a feature-heavy platform, with the foundation in place to add SMS, email confirmations, and clinical notes once real users validate what to build next.
