Our Mission
Managing rental properties shouldn’t feel like a second job. We’re building automation for landlords who are too serious for spreadsheets and too small for enterprise software — to turn the work of juggling units into an investment that runs itself. If you’re a busy professional who values your time and is worn down by the busywork of multiple rentals, this is built for you.
The Problem We’re Solving
You didn’t get into rentals to spend your evenings reconciling a spreadsheet and chasing late rent. But that’s where most landlords end up. Enterprise property management software (AppFolio, Buildium) is overbuilt and overpriced. Free tools (spreadsheets, Zelle) automate nothing and keep no real books. What’s missing in the middle is software that gets the fundamentals right and then gets out of your way: correct accounting, a real tenant portal, and modern AI access — so the work runs in the background instead of on your calendar.
You need:
- A ledger that tracks rent and posts late fees for you, automatically
- Clean books your CPA can use at tax time
- A tenant portal where tenants see their balance and communicate in one place
- The ability to ask “which tenants are behind?” from your own AI agent
That’s what we built.
Our Approach
Automation Over Busywork A double-entry ledger does the math, late fees are calculated and posted for you, and routine notifications go out by email — so your rentals keep running without you tracking everything by hand.
AI-Native Our MCP interface lets Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI agents connect to your live data — ask questions, pull reports, or have your agent create and update records. This isn’t a bolted-on chatbot — it’s built into the architecture.
Free to Start The Free tier isn’t a trial. It’s a real product for up to 3 units. Rent ledger, tenant portal, messaging, document storage, and read-only MCP access. You upgrade when you want automation, more team members, or write access for your AI agent — not because you hit a unit limit.
Financially Correct Immutable ledger. Full audit trail. Every transaction timestamped. Income, expense, and cash-flow reports. Your books will be clean and defensible.
No Vendor Lock-In Your data is yours. No long-term contracts, no lock-in. Download your uploaded documents anytime — full account data export is on the way.
Who We’re For
Built for:
- Busy professionals (engineers, doctors, lawyers) who self-manage their rentals around a demanding career
- Landlords worn down by the busywork of juggling multiple units who want their time back
- People who value their time over saving a few dollars — and want the work to run itself
- Anyone who says “I want to run this correctly,” not “I want it free”
(For reference, that’s typically someone with a handful to a couple dozen units — but it’s about the time and juggling we save you, not the number of units.)
Not for:
- Professional property managers with a large portfolio (50+ units)
- Landlords who only want free payment processing
- People looking for the cheapest possible option
Pricing Philosophy
Flat pricing, unlimited units on every paid plan. Free includes 3 units. The Starter plan is $15/mo ($12/mo billed annually), Pro is $29/mo ($24/mo annually), and Business is $55/mo ($45/mo annually). No per-unit fees — you upgrade for features that save you time, not because you added another unit. See the Pricing page for full plan details and what’s coming next.

Our Values
Your Interests Come First
We put landlords first in every decision. We will never sell your data, show you ads, or steer you toward products that pay us a referral fee without telling you. Your financial records, tenant information, and legal documents deserve a company that treats your trust as its most valuable asset.
Read our full Landlord Data Promise.
Correctness Over Features We’d rather do 5 things excellently than 30 things poorly. Every financial record is immutable and auditable.
Honest Pricing No hidden fees. No surprise charges. No “contact sales” pricing. The pricing page shows exactly what you’ll pay. Our revenue comes from landlord subscriptions and tenant paid fees such as screening. If we ever offer a paid extra to you, it will be priced up front and entirely opt-in — you will never be charged for something you didn’t choose.
Privacy & Security Your data is encrypted in transit and at rest. We don’t sell your information — not to advertisers, not to data brokers, not anonymized, not aggregated. We use the fewest third-party services possible and disclose every one in our Privacy Policy.
Bootstrapped & Independent No venture capital. No outside investors. No board of directors pushing for aggressive monetization. We answer to our customers, not to shareholders. That independence is how we can make promises most software companies can’t.
No runway, no countdown We aren’t spending someone else’s money while we search for a business model, and we don’t have a funding round that can fail. Our costs are deliberately low and our plans are sized to what subscriptions can support. Nothing here gets shut down, sold off, or pivoted because an investor ran out of patience.
