Overview
Flexday is a coworking discovery and workspace booking platform that helps remote professionals and freelancers find and reserve premium workspaces across Toronto. With over 8,000 members and 50+ workspace partners, Flexday makes it simple to collaborate, focus, and work from somewhere other than home, without losing the flexibility that made remote work appealing in the first place.
Blink22 partnered with Flexday to optimize their native iOS and Android apps, speed up delivery through more scalable code practices, and later expand the product across web, including dynamic map features, AI chatbot integration, and flexible scheduling tools.

Initial Requirements
As demand for remote-friendly workspaces surged, Flexday set out to become the go-to coworking app for flexible workspace booking in Toronto. That meant their platform needed faster iteration cycles to ship new features without a long lead time, streamlined code across mobile and web, better booking logic to handle multiple workspace categories, and support across native apps and a growing web experience.
Blink22 came on to provide long-term support across both phases of development, mobile optimization, and web expansion, while staying closely aligned with Flexday's in-house product and design teams.
Challenge
Flexday's platform needed real upgrades to keep up with its evolving user base:
The existing codebase needed optimization and partial refactoring before new features like private offices, meeting rooms, and multi-type reservations could be introduced cleanly
Legacy logic was slowing delivery cycles, and the team wanted a scalable foundation to build on going forward, not another patch
On the web side, the business needed new booking categories, dynamic filtering, and reservation workflows integrated directly into their Webflow site
Collaboration had to hold up across multiple time zones and teams, with Blink22 handling ongoing support, QA, and performance work throughout
Approach
Blink22 worked through the project in two focused phases.
Phase 1: Mobile App Optimization
Started with React Native to speed up early feature delivery
After weighing the long-term tradeoffs, moved back to optimized native development in Swift (iOS) and Kotlin (Android) to protect performance and keep the UX consistent
Updated the overall UI, revamped the payment module, and built a fully functional, interactive map experience, similar in spirit to Airbnb, for finding and booking workspaces
Phase 2: Web Expansion
Integrated new reservation categories, including private rooms and team spaces, into the booking logic
Built a custom Intercom form integration to sync user requests directly with live chat support
Worked with Flexday's internal teams to extend scheduling capabilities, filters, and flexible booking rules, all through their existing Webflow site
Solution
Blink22 turned Flexday's coworking experience into a multi-platform, scalable product:
Revamped mobile apps built on native code for better performance and easier long-term maintenance
A more advanced booking experience with filterable, location-based map search
A Webflow-integrated chatbot and custom forms for real-time booking assistance
Ongoing support and QA to keep performance smooth and deployment cycles fast
Outcome
Flexday is now equipped to support Toronto's growing remote workforce with real remote work solutions, not just a booking form bolted onto a website:
iOS and Android apps deliver clean, fast booking flows with responsive UX
Web-based reservations let users find and book workspaces straight from their browser, no app download required
Code quality and maintainability improved across every platform, which means new features ship faster than they used to
