How to manage your studio from an iPad
Tobias Gundry
Updated
The Clovo app runs natively on iPad, giving studio owners and staff a larger, more comfortable screen to manage the day.
Whether you’re using an iPad as a front-desk station, checking in clients as they arrive, or just prefer the extra space — the iPad experience is optimised for iPadOS and works across all iPad models.
Getting started on iPad
- Open the App Store on your iPad
- Search for Clovo and tap Get to install
- Open the app and sign in with your studio owner or staff account
- Once logged in, you’ll see the Admin tab appear in the navigation bar
The Admin Tab
The Admin tab is exclusive to studio owners and staff members with admin privileges — clients will not see it. It gives you a real-time view of your studio and the tools to manage it from your iPad.
Inside the Admin tab you’ll find two sections — Today and Clients.
Today
Today is a live view of your class schedule for the day. Every class is listed in order with its time, instructor, and how full it is, so you can see the state of the studio the moment you open the app.
Tap any class to see who’s booked in, mark attendance, and check capacity at a glance.
Clients
Clients gives you your full client list, searchable by name so you can find someone quickly while they’re standing at the desk. It’s the fastest way to look someone up when they have a question about their membership or a booking.
Tap a client to open their profile, where you can check their membership and credit pack status, see their upcoming and past bookings, and manage their details on the go.
Using iPad as a front-desk or check-in station
iPad is a natural fit as a front-desk device. You can mount it at your studio entrance and use the Admin tab to check clients in as they arrive for class. The larger screen makes it easy to scan the day’s class list and confirm attendance quickly — without needing to be at a desktop computer.
For studios that want clients to check themselves in, you can hand the iPad to a client at the door — they’ll see the standard client experience and can check in on their own booking.
Clients can use the iPad too
When clients download Clovo to their own iPad, they get the full client experience — browsing the class schedule, booking sessions, managing their memberships and credit packs, and viewing their booking history — all optimised for the larger iPadOS display.
