The MyOcto octopus

For people who work for themselves / US & Europe

Yourcustomersstay yours.

MyOcto is an app for cleaners, hairdressers, personal drivers, electricians and anyone who has their own customers. Your customer list stays on your phone. MyOcto takes no commission on your work. When you are busy, a colleague you choose covers for you. The customer stays yours.

Built and tested on real phones / first users joining now

You are with a client. Another regular calls. You have to say no.

So they book through some app. Next time, they use that app again. One busy afternoon, and a customer you worked years to win is gone. MyOcto is made for that moment.

What it is

Your whole business, in your pocket.

  • Your customers, with their numbers
  • Your prices
  • Ready-made messages: on my way, running late, payment
  • A few colleagues you choose
  • Your customer list stays on your phone

Too busy for a customer? Recommend a colleague with one tap. MyOcto gives you a ready-made WhatsApp or SMS message. You press send, from your own phone. The customer decides. They pay you, and you settle with your colleague between yourselves.

  • Nobody decides for you
  • Nobody takes a cut
  • You choose who to recommend
  • You introduce them yourself
  • The customer remembers you

How recommending a colleague works

Busy? Recommend a colleague you choose, in one tap.

Colleagues you know, not strangers picked by a computer. Your colleague does the job. The customer still pays you. Your good name grows. The customer stays yours.

MyOcto only writes the messages. We do not upload your customer list. Your customer pays you directly.

The town

You choose. You set the price.

Workers and customers in the same town, person to person.

The promise

What you get.

  • 0% commission. Nobody takes a cut. Money never passes through MyOcto. What you earn is yours.
  • 100% your customers. Your list lives on your phone. Your good name travels with you.

Who it's for

People who keep a town running.

House cleanersKeep your regulars. Cover for each other.
Hairdressers & barbersYour chair, your customers, your prices.
Personal driversIn your own car or in a client's car, where local rules allow. A few regular clients instead of chasing work all day. Local licensing rules still apply.
Electricians, plumbers, repairsRecommend colleagues you choose when you are booked.
Couriers & errandsSame-day errands, with nobody taking a slice.

Why we built it

We built MyOcto so your business grows. Not someone else's.

Taxi apps, booking apps, delivery apps: each one stands between you and your customer. The app keeps the customer, sets the price, takes its cut, and can switch you off tomorrow.

MyOcto is the opposite. Your customers, your colleagues, your name. Every time you recommend a colleague, and every time one recommends you, your own name grows.
