— About — A studio, not a SaaS
For shops where
the owner still cuts.
Koda is a small studio building software for independent grooming shops. We make the kind of tools we’d want if we ran the shop ourselves.
— Manifesto
We believe the best grooming shops are small, careful, and a little stubborn. Their software should be the same. No upsells. No fake urgency. No “AI-powered growth dashboard.” Just the calendar, the dog, the owner, and the money — handled with care.
— Four principles · How we build
The rules of the studio.
Built warm, built quiet.
Software shouldn't shout. Koda's interface borrows from letterpress and well-edited magazines — restrained, generous with whitespace, easy on a long Saturday.
One dog, one record.
Coat, allergies, vaccines, photos, vet notes — one warm folder per dog. The bath room and the front desk see the same thing. So does the owner.
Honest pricing forever.
From $49/mo per location. No per-booking fees, no per-seat fees. No surprise invoices. Cancel any time and we'll export everything.
Real humans answer.
Texts and in-app messages get answered by a person, fast. Average reply time under fifteen minutes during shop hours.
— A shop, transformed
The same Tuesday. Two different days.
A page from two shop diaries — one running on voicemails and paper, one running on Koda. Same hours. Same dogs. Different temperature.
