Over the past year, we’ve been reimagining Amelia from the ground up. Every interaction, every workflow, every pixel has been considered with one goal in mind: making scheduling simpler, smarter, and faster for every business that relies on Amelia.
Today, I’m thrilled to announce that Amelia 9.0 Alpha is officially available. This is the first chance for our community to explore the new design, test the features, and help shape the future of Amelia.
This is not just another update. It’s the foundation for the next era of Amelia and we want you with us from the very beginning.
Why an Alpha Release
Big changes require bold testing. The Alpha release is our way of opening the doors early to those of you who want to explore what’s coming, push the limits, and help us shape the final version.
For more information, check out our Amelia 9.0 Alpha benefits blog post.
A Word of Caution
The Alpha version is not yet ready for production, and you’ll likely notice that some pages are missing. Don’t worry, this doesn’t mean they won’t be included. It simply means we’re investing extra effort to enhance them and make them more feature-rich.
⚠️ We strongly recommend testing it in a staging environment only.
Your feedback during this phase is what will make the final release truly exceptional.
Why Your Feedback Matters
We believe in building Amelia with you, not just for you. That’s why your feedback at this stage is crucial.
This Alpha is a conversation, not just a release. Every click you make, every workflow you explore, tells us what works and what doesn’t.
We’re particularly interested in your thoughts on:
- Workflow clarity and usability
- Feature discoverability
- Any friction points you encounter
Your insights will guide the Beta, refine the final release, and ensure Amelia 9.0 truly serves your business needs.
What’s New in the Alpha
Here’s a sneak peek of the key new experiences you can explore right away:
- Light & Dark Mode: Toggle instantly to suit your workspace, day or night.
- One-Click Scheduling from Calendar: Add appointments and events faster with preselected dates and times.
- Redesigned Add & Edit Experience: Full-screen creation and editing for clarity and focus.
- Smarter Tables & Filters: Customize columns, scroll infinitely, and control data visibility.
Built-In Guidance & Smart Shortcuts: Tips, contextual links, and faster navigation right where you need them.
And more. Every feature in the Alpha is designed to save you time and make scheduling seamless.
This is just the beginning. More is coming in Beta and the official release.
What This Means for You
This redesign is more than a fresh coat of paint. It’s the start of a new era of booking:
- Easier navigation.
- Faster scheduling.
- Cleaner management.
- Smarter shortcuts.
All adding up to the one thing that matters most: more time for you and your business.
But because this is Alpha, it also means:
⚠️ Expect bugs, rough edges, and ongoing changes. This version is not ready for production use – it’s for early testers and feedback only.
⚠️ Testing only. Do not use it on production sites. Install on a staging site.
From here, we’re working on:
- More advanced automation
- Deeper integrations
- Smarter features
Amelia 9.0 is the foundation. The next chapter is about helping you unlock more growth, more efficiency, and more freedom.
How to Get Started
To help you get the most out of the Alpha, we’ve prepared a step-by-step guide for testers:
This guide includes instructions on setup, exploring features safely, and submitting feedback.
Your Voice Matters
I couldn’t be more proud of the Amelia team and community. Every feature you see here is the result of countless hours of design, development, and, most importantly, listening to you, our users.
The future of Amelia is built with your input. Every piece of feedback helps us improve, whether it’s a bug you find, a workflow that feels smoother, or an idea you’d love to see in 9.0.
Together, we can make Amelia not only the best booking plugin on WordPress, but a tool that truly transforms the way businesses operate.
This redesign is for you. For every late-night scheduler, every growing business, every team that depends on Amelia to run smoothly. We can’t wait to see what you’ll create with it.
