Your availability

The My Availability tab is where you say which days and hours you take gigs. It’s what decides whether a client sees an open slot on your storefront. Set it up once and the whole week runs on autopilot.

Where it lives

Go to your Studio Hub and open the My Availability tab. It’s the third one in the list, right after Storefront and Services. If the top of the Hub says FREELANCER VIEW, you’re in the right place.

It works on any plan, free included. No lock on this one.

The heading inside is different

The tab is called My Availability, but the panel heading inside it reads Weekly Availability — “Set your working hours. Days marked as closed won’t accept bookings.” It’s the same screen physical studios use, which is why the copy says “closed”. Read “closed” as “unavailable”.

Building your week

1. Open the tab. You get 7 days, Monday through Sunday, one per row. Saturday and Sunday have an orange stripe on the side — that’s just decoration.
2. Each day has a toggle that turns it on or off. Turned off, the row dims and shows Closed / Unavailable.
3. On the days you turn on, pick a start and an end time from the two dropdowns. Options run from 00:00 to 23:30, in 30-minute steps.
4. Hit Save Hours. The app confirms with “Schedule saved successfully!”. If you get “Error saving schedule.”, try again.

Save once, even if it already looks right

When you’ve never saved anything, the screen pretends your week is already set up: it shows Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 18:00, Saturday and Sunday closed. That is not your schedule — it’s just a draft on screen.

Until you press Save Hours, the system has no rule from you at all and treats you as available 08:00 to 22:00, every day, Saturday and Sunday included. Meaning: if you open the tab, see “Saturday closed” and leave without saving, you can still be booked Saturday at 21:00.

Press Save Hours once, even if the hours on screen are already exactly how you want them.

If you turn a day on and leave it without hours, the app rejects it: “Invalid hours: working days require an opening and closing time.”

Open 24h

Next to the two time dropdowns there’s a small 24h button. Click it and that day becomes Open 24h (the green chip), and the time pickers disappear. To go back, click set hours — it returns the day to 09:00–18:00.

Overnight shifts can’t be saved

There’s no way to configure a shift that crosses midnight, like 22:00 → 02:00. If the end is before the start, the app rejects it: “Invalid hours: the closing time must be later than the opening time.” For late-night work, your only option is marking that day Open 24h.

What this actually does to your bookings

Situation	What the client sees
Closed day	No slots at all. The day isn’t even clickable on their calendar.
Open day	Hourly slots, starting at the time you open.
Today	Slots that already passed don’t show up.

Slots run hourly, anchored to your opening time. If you open at 09:30, the client sees 09:30, 10:30, 11:30… — it doesn’t round to the top of the hour.

A closed day hides, it doesn’t lock

For Freelancers, a closed day disappears from the client’s picker — which is what handles the day-to-day. But there’s no server-side block rejecting a booking on a closed day (that guard only applies to physical studios). So don’t treat it as a lock: what’s true is that clients see no open slots on a closed day.

It’s one single schedule

Your hours are one per profile — not per service, not per virtual space. All your services follow the same week.

And there are no per-date exceptions: you can’t mark a holiday, take vacation, or block off just 20/08/2026. What exists is the weekly pattern, repeating forever.

Syncing with Google Calendar or Apple Calendar

On your Freelancer dashboard, in the right-hand sidebar, there’s a Calendar Sync (iCal) card. It gives you a link that Google Calendar and Apple Calendar know how to read — your gigs start showing up there, alongside the rest of your life.

This card only exists on desktop

The right sidebar doesn’t show on mobile or in the Android app — it disappears below 1024px. To grab or change the link, you need to open FindMyGig on a computer. Once you’ve subscribed, the gigs show up on your phone normally, through Google or Apple themselves.

Getting your link

1. Open the Calendar Sync (iCal) card.
2. If it says “No active token” and Copy Link is greyed out, click Rotate. Despite the name, that’s what creates your first link — new accounts usually start without one.
3. Click Copy Link. You’ll get the “Link copied!” toast.

Subscribing in Google Calendar (on desktop)

1. In the left menu, under Other calendars, click the +.
2. Choose From URL.
3. Paste the link and confirm.

Subscribing on iPhone or iPad

1. Settings → Calendar → Accounts → Add Account → Other.
2. Tap Add Subscribed Calendar.
3. Paste the link and save.

The feed includes gigs where you’re the client, the owner, or confirmed crew — an invite you haven’t accepted yet doesn’t show up.

It’s not “real time”, whatever the app says

The card promises real-time updates. In practice, FindMyGig only hints to Google/Apple that they should re-read every 30 minutes — they set their own pace, and it often takes hours. If you need to see a change right now, remove the subscription and subscribe again.

That link is a key. Don’t spread it around

Anyone holding the link can see your schedule — client names, references and amounts — no password needed. Don’t post it in a group, don’t put it in a story.

If it leaks, click Rotate. But careful: rotating asks for no confirmation and kills the old link instantly. Every calendar already subscribed stops updating and has to be subscribed again with the new link. It is not a harmless refresh.

The sync is one-way

FindMyGig pushes your gigs to Google/Apple. It does not read your personal calendar. If you’ve got a wedding on your Google Calendar, FindMyGig has no idea and will happily offer that slot to a client. To actually block it, turn the day off here on this tab.

The rest of the sidebar

Still on the dashboard, next to the sync card, you’ve got:

• The month calendar, with a green dot on days that have something booked.
• Active Gigs — your open gigs, each with its status (“In progress”, “Awaiting deposit”, “In review”…). They’re listed by status, not by date: a gig from last month that’s still in review stays on the list. With nothing open, you get “No active gigs right now”. Click one to open the Workspace.
• Upcoming gigs — what’s coming up on the calendar.

What this tab doesn’t do

• Per-date exceptions: no holidays, no vacation, no blocking one specific Saturday. Weekly pattern only.
• Overnight shifts: won’t save. Only Open 24h.
• Hours per service or per space: it’s one schedule, for the whole profile.
• 15-minute steps: the dropdowns move in 30s, and clients pick by the hour.
• Timezone: always Brasília time. Nowhere to change it.
• Importing from Google: doesn’t exist. One-way, always.
