Squiddies
A CRM designed for how creative brains actually work
Manage your energy, not just your calendar. Squiddies is more than a CRM - it's a digital companion that protects your creative energy, serves as your external memory, and helps prevent burnout. With extra care put in for artists with ADHD and other neurodiversities.
Get now
You became a tattoo artist to create art, not manage spreadsheets. But running your own business means juggling clients, scheduling, reference images, and endless admin - all while trying not to burn out.
Most CRMs expect consistent energy and linear thinking. They treat every hour the same. They don't understand that a 4-hour tattoo also needs drawing time, or that being "fully booked" and being exhausted aren't the same thing.
You need tools that work the way your brain actually works.
Squiddies manages the business side so you can focus on creating art.
Track capacity, not just time
Your weekly energy depletes as you book sessions - like a battery, not a progress bar. Allocate prep time for each session and get warnings before you overbook yourself.
The app remembers so you don't have to
Client details, preferences, project history, reference images, session notes - everything in one place. Stop keeping it all in your head.
Rest without guilt
Quiet hours block all notifications when you need to focus or recharge. Burn out mode offers emergency protection. Your boundaries, enforced automatically.
See only what matters
No overwhelming notification streams. No endless task lists. Just what needs your attention today - sessions, urgent tasks, and your energy level.
Profiles, contact info, notes, preferences - all in one place
Multi-session pieces like sleeves and back work, tracked start to finish
Book appointments and allocate drawing time, all counted toward energy
Client images and artwork, securely stored and organised
Todos that prioritise energy cost over rigid due dates
Pull in events and process bookings without switching apps
Absolute notification blocking when you need it
Emergency protection when you're running on empty
