Appointment hunter

The DMV slot, the booked-out specialist, the full swim class: Pally watches for the cancellation and takes it.

You: the dmv appointment near me is 11 weeks out. can you find something sooner?
Pally: i've booked that 11-week one as a floor so you always have something. now i'll watch for cancellations inside the next two weeks. mornings ok?
You: mornings are perfect
Pally: got one 🎯 Thursday 9:20am, same office, six days out. booked it and canceled the far one. it's on your calendar with the documents they want you to bring.

The routine

How it works

BBrowserCalendar

Good appointment slots open when somebody else cancels, usually at a random hour on a Tuesday. Pally keeps checking the booking page until it finds your slot, grabs it the moment it appears, and cancels the far-off one you were stuck with.

  1. Tell Pally what you're booking and the window that helps: within three weeks, mornings only, this office.
  2. Pally watches the booking page in the background, signing in with the login you saved.
  3. Widen the window, add an office, or call it off by replying.
The full routine

Tell Pally what you're booking and the window that helps: within three weeks, mornings only, this office. If a far-off slot exists, Pally books it first as a floor.

Pally watches the booking page in the background, signing in with the login you saved. When a slot inside your rule opens, it books right away, cancels the old one, and puts the new one on your calendar.

Widen the window, add an office, or call it off by replying. Pally texts only when it books something or needs a decision.

Good for

  • DMV and passport appointments booked out for months
  • A specialist whose next opening is in the spring
  • Kids' swim or music classes with a waitlist
  • Getting a cleaning before the year's benefits expire
  • Holding a backup slot until a better one appears

Things to try

You: watch the dmv site and grab anything sooner than three weeks, mornings only
You: book the first dentist opening and keep watching for something this month
You: add the clinic on fifth street to the same watch
You: stop watching, thursday is fine

Before you start

Common questions

How long does Pally keep checking?

Until it finds your slot or you call it off. If you go 7 days without messaging or reacting to Pally, it pauses the watch and tells you once; any message from you starts it again.

Will it book without asking me?

You set the rule once: the window, the place, the times that work. Inside that rule Pally books right away, because asking first loses the slot. Anything outside it comes back to you.

What about systems that need my account?

Pally signs in with the login you saved to its password vault. If the site sends a code, Pally reads it from your email or asks you for it once. An identity check only you can pass comes back to you.
