Meet NailGap: talk with any client, and run your nail business from your phone

NailGap is our new iPhone app for nail techs: face-to-face translation with clients, plus every service, tip and appointment in one place.

Walk into almost any nail salon and you'll hear several languages at once. The nail tech and the client often don't share one, so "a little shorter", "more pink" or "that hurts" turn into pointing, guessing and smiling. NailGap was made for exactly that moment.

Talk face to face, in two languages

Set the phone on the table between you. The client's half of the screen is turned to face them. Each of you speaks in your own language, and NailGap shows the translation on the other person's side, and can read it aloud. There's no account to set up and no one to call.

Clients can also browse your price menu and a nail polish color guide in their own language, then send what they picked straight into the conversation.

The business side, in one place

Most nail techs we talked to kept track of their day on scraps of paper. NailGap keeps it on your phone instead:

  • Service Log for every visit, with tips in cash, card, Venmo, Apple Pay or Zelle.
  • Clients with photos, visit history and notes, plus appointments and reminders.
  • Pay for commission or hourly work, with owner's deductions, income goals and simple charts.
  • My Page, a shareable page and Reel video for Instagram, TikTok and Facebook.

Don't need translation?

Turn it off. NailGap then opens straight to your business tabs and never asks for the microphone.

Private by default

Everything you enter stays on your iPhone. There are no accounts, no ads and no tracking. NailGap works in 19 languages.

NailGap is coming soon to the App Store. See the NailGap page for details.
