The booking platform for
freelance creatives.
Don’t let a hold go cold.
Calendar. Clients. Cash flow.
Keep every hold moving. Nightfall Post has held Wednesday 21 to Friday 23 October as a 1st hold. The hold is coming up, so BKKD offers to check in. It writes a short email to Dana at Nightfall Post asking to confirm, the email is sent, Nightfall Post confirms, and the booking lands on the week. Now you’re BKKD.
Keep every hold moving.
Conflict Detection
Two clients. One date. Sorted.
Different hold levels can share dates as a normal priority stack. When two holds claim the same level, BKKD flags the one added later and helps you ask the earlier client to confirm or release.

Aperture was added first, so it keeps priority. Lumen is flagged because its overlapping 1st Hold was added later.

Solstice Brands Brand Film · Apr 14-16 · 1st Hold
Hi Maya, I wanted to give you a heads up. I have another client looking to confirm the dates overlapping with your hold on April 14-16 and I need to move forward with them if you are not ready to confirm. Would love to make it work if the timing is right. If you can confirm by end of week I can hold them off, otherwise I will need to release your hold. Let me know where you are at.

The workflow
How BKKD works
From the first hold to booked, paid, and wrapped.
Add your clients
Build your client roster with contacts, rates, and default terms. Everything pre-fills when you create a booking.
Create holds and bookings
Block dates as Confirmed, 1st Hold, 2nd Hold, or 3rd Hold. BKKD tracks the priority hierarchy automatically.
Resolve real conflicts
Matching hold levels are flagged instantly. Normal 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Hold stacks stay exactly as they are.
Draft client emails
AI-powered drafts for every situation. Check-ins, confirmations, challenges, and releases. Written in your voice, not a template.
Track project health
Hold health scores and communication timelines keep every booking relationship visible at a glance.
See the full picture
Year view, revenue forecast, and client history turn your calendar into a complete business dashboard.
From the beta
What beta users say
The availability link is the standout for me. Clients just pick a time that suits them, with none of the back and forth over email.
Nick KyriakidesSenior post production artist, NK FilmsYunoJuno Freelancer of the Year 2018, Film & Motion Usually there’s a compromise with these tools. Useful features are missing, unnecessary ones get in the way, or the interface feels like an afterthought. With BKKD, it all feels properly considered.
