What is Kliv?
Kliv isn’t a generic reservation widget you configure — it’s an AI that builds software for you.
You describe the app you need in plain words, and Kliv builds it: the database, the logic, the screens, and the workflows. You own the result, run it on your own domain and use your own Stripe account, and change it later by asking. It isn’t a template.
On this page, that app is a ferry booking and reservation system. Kliv builds all kinds of web apps; this is one example.
Why build your own ferry booking system?
A car ferry sells deck length, passenger counts, resident fares, commuter books, seasonal windows, and rebooking when weather cancels a sailing.
Kliv builds the booking office around the route. Vessels, sailings, deck meters, passenger caps, fares, commuter books, rebooking, and manifests are one system.
What Kliv handles for you
A ferry booking office works when timetable, deck, fares, and manifest share records.
Sailings and vessels
Vessels hold deck meters, passenger cap, and sailing season.
Deck plan
Bookings claim vehicle meters at payment.
Commuter books
A 30-crossing book subtracts one crossing at boarding and shows balance.
Fares and windows
Foot, resident, July, and February fares can read dated catalog windows.
Weather ledger
Cancel once, then offer next departure or refund queue and send messages.
Manifest
The skipper sees passengers, vehicles, and commuter-book use.
An example: Sigrun’s Kollholm ferry line
Here’s how one business might use it. It’s only an example — you would describe your own setup, rules, and content.
The timetable posts with fare windows
Sigrun publishes summer sailings and sets July fares to open on schedule.
A camper reserves deck length
A camper books 7.5 meters for $63 with the driver.
The deck fills by meters
Two meters remain, a motorcycle fits, and larger vehicles are no longer offered.
Weather cancellation starts one flow
The 17:15 is canceled and bookings are offered 19:40 or refund queue.
Refunds wait for approval
Each refund records who approved it and returns money through the line’s Stripe account.
The ramp scans the manifest
Crew scans passes, commuter books spend one crossing, and the skipper signs the manifest.
Describe what you want to build
Kliv builds from your description, so the more detail you give, the closer the first version. Include concrete prices, dates, roles, limits, and edge cases.
Two-vessel timetable
Seasonal sailings and deck meters.
“Build a booking site for a car ferry with two vessels, seasonal timetable, deck space sold by vehicle length, foot passengers counted separately, and checkout on our Stripe account.”
Islander commuter books
Resident records and balances.
“Add 30-crossing commuter books for verified island residents. Each boarding subtracts one crossing, shows balance, and applies resident fares without discount codes.”
Weather rebooking desk
Cancellation and refund queue.
“Build a cancellation flow where canceling a sailing offers every affected booking the next departure or refund queue, emails everyone from our domain, and records who approved each refund.”
How it comes together
You can test a season first. The Sandbox can sell out test Saturdays, cancel one for weather, and refund a full car deck before Stripe connects.
Travelers and assistants can read the timetable. Prerendered pages help crawlers read sailings and route information.
Messages use your wording. Confirmations, weather notices, and refund receipts can come from your domain.
Ferries affect local trade; local businesses on Kliv covers the harbor around the route.
Common questions
What exactly is Kliv?
Kliv is an AI that builds custom web apps from a description. For a ferry booking and reservation system, it builds the records, screens, rules, and workflows around your case.
Do I get a real app, or a template?
A real app. Kliv builds the database, logic, and screens for your specific case, not a theme you fill in.
Can I change it after it’s built?
Yes. Ask for changes in plain words, and Kliv updates the app without starting over.
Can a sailing oversell?
No. A booking claims meters when it pays, and checkout refuses vehicles that no longer fit.
A truck was booked, but a car turns up. What happens?
Crew can correct length at the ramp, release extra meters, and settle the fare difference on the booking.
What do islanders get that tourists don’t?
A verified resident record, resident fares, and commuter books without discount codes.
What happens to money when weather cancels?
Rebooked passengers pay nothing new. Refunds can queue for approval and return to the same card.
Do passengers need Stripe accounts?
No. They just pay by card.
Can the timetable show up in search?
Yes. Pages are prerendered for search engines and AI crawlers.
Can confirmations come from our domain?
Yes. Confirmations, weather notices, and refund receipts can use your domain.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes. The booking system can run on your domain.
Can I move off Kliv later?
Yes. The code syncs to your Git repository.
