Mid-October updates: a new look and bleed on export
The operator dashboard has been rebuilt around a calmer shell and simpler navigation, print-ready exports can now carry bleed for Breeze and DNP, and there's a yearly plan at €295.
A shorter list than last time, but two of these you'll notice the moment you log in.
A new look for the dashboard
Every screen you work in has been redone: a calmer shell, one font, buttons that size to their label, and far less wasted padding on a phone — the old layout spent 40 pixels per side before your content even started.
Navigation got simpler too:
- Requests now live in Bookings, as a tab, instead of a separate page in the sidebar.
- Settings is split into its own pages with a sub-navigation, rather than one long hub with accordions.
- Help sits next to the thing it explains — a popover on desktop, a bottom sheet on your phone.
- Booking details in the calendar now open on tap. They used to appear on hover only, which meant you never saw them on a phone.
Unsaved changes are now called out in a bar at the bottom of the form, so a half-finished settings page doesn't quietly get lost.
The client portal and the booking widget are deliberately untouched. What your clients see hasn't changed.
Bleed on print-ready exports
If your printer eats a millimetre of the edge, you now have a setting for it. Pick a print output profile under Settings → Company:
- Plain — 1200×1800, as before.
- Breeze + DNP — 1240×1844, the sizes those two expect.
- Custom — your own bleed and cut offset.
The print-ready download then pads the doubled strip by mirroring the design's own edge pixels, so the extra millimetres match the artwork instead of showing a white band. There's deliberately no bleed at the centre, so the cut still lands exactly between the two strips.
Your clients keep designing at finished size — 600×1800, unchanged. Bleed only exists on export. Both editors now also show a dashed safe-zone guide, so you can see what survives the trim; it never appears in an export.
A yearly plan
Alongside €29 per month there's now a yearly option at €295, which saves €53 over twelve monthly payments. You'll find the monthly/yearly switch on the subscribe page and on our pricing page.
Also new
- The booking intake API is out of beta. Same endpoints, no more beta badge or warning.
- The subscribe page has been restyled to match the website, with the trial message as the headline instead of a yellow card.
- Mobile fixes to the availability screen's width, the integrations header and a few back links.
- Payment markers are gone from the dashboard and the calendar — the unpaid attention row and the € marker on bookings were both more noise than signal.
- Login, signup and password reset have been brought in line with the new look.
Something feel off in the new layout, or a printer that needs a bleed we don't cover yet? Get in touch — that's how most of this list started.
