Curated slots, a personal booking link, and Google Calendar sync — for freelancers and solo operators who'd rather not turn their week into a free-for-all.
Your calendar being free at 8am on a Tuesday doesn't mean 8am on a Tuesday is a good time to talk. Most booking tools assume otherwise. They take every gap in your week and put it up for grabs — the awkward half-hour between two meetings, the late-afternoon slot you keep for deep work, the Monday morning you'd rather not open with a call. All bookable, all by default.
That's fine if running calls isthe job. It's less fine when the calls are supposed to leave room for the actual work. Joust lets you show fewer, better times, so you stay reachable without handing over control of your week.
Joust is built around curated availability. Instead of exposing every free moment, you decide how many slots appear each day, when they're allowed to show up, and how much breathing room sits around them. Your page still looks active and bookable — it just stops broadcasting your entire working week to anyone with the link.
Joust is for freelancers, consultants, developers, designers, coaches — anyone running their own show who needs a booking link without the overhead of a scheduling system. You're not staffing a sales floor. You need a link you can drop into a proposal, slots that fit a real working day, and Google Calendar sync so you're never double-booked. That's the whole job.
Pick how many slots to show per day — a fixed number, or a min–max range you let Joust fill in. Enough choice that the page doesn't look dead, without laying out all forty hours of your week for inspection.
Every account comes with a booking page you can stick anywhere — your email signature, LinkedIn, proposals, client threads. Want it to feel native to your own site instead? Embed the booking flow directly so people book without ever leaving the page.

You cap how many slots appear each day and control when they can be offered, so your week stays yours.
