Product update - May 2026: Calendar
•Reading time: 3 minutes
This month introduces one of the biggest additions to Leadr so far - a brand new dashboard calendar - alongside improvements designed to reduce admin friction and make everyday tasks faster.
We've shipped a full dashboard calendar experience with multiple views, improved booking workflows, and a set of usability upgrades that remove friction across client and pet admin.

🗓️ NEW: Dashboard calendar with day, week, and list views
A brand new calendar has dropped into your dashboard.
You can now view bookings in both day and week views, giving you a much clearer picture of your schedule, availability, and upcoming walks at a glance.
The new calendar makes it easier to:
- Plan upcoming walks
- Spot gaps in your schedule
- View busy days more clearly
- Check booking details quickly
- Stay organised during hectic weeks
You can also open bookings directly from the calendar without needing to dig through multiple screens or messages.
Whether you're planning tomorrow's route or checking a packed week ahead, the dashboard calendar helps you stay on top of your schedule more confidently.
🧾 More flexible client and pet records
We've also made several fields optional when adding new clients and pets.
You can now optionally leave blank:
- Client contact details
- Client address
- Pet sexing information
Sometimes you simply don't have every detail available immediately, especially when adding new clients or working with rescue dogs where information may be limited.
These small changes help reduce friction and make setting up records faster and easier.
🛠 Fixes, tweaks and improvements
Alongside new features, we've continued improving the overall experience across Leadr with smaller fixes, UI improvements, and quality-of-life updates.
