Features

What it does

Tenant and lease tracking

Units, leases, and tenants in one place. Expiration dates, vacancy, and payment status at a glance.

AI maintenance triage

Tenants text in. The agent reads the message, creates a task, and contacts the right vendor.

Document processing

Upload leases and inspections. The agent extracts tenant info, lease terms, and tags documents to properties.

Scheduled tasks

Recurring checks on a cron — lease expirations, property audits, tenant follow-ups. Simulate before enabling.

Vendor coordination

Assign vendors to tasks, message them, and track conversations. Each vendor gets their own portal.

Hosted

When to use Hosted

Self-hosting works well for most setups. Hosted makes sense when you'd rather not manage infrastructure.

Multiple users

Role-based access and multi-tenant isolation without running your own auth.

No ops overhead

Managed backups, upgrades, and TLS — no scripts to maintain.

SMS deliverability

Dedicated SMS infrastructure with carrier-grade deliverability.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the self-hosted version crippled?
No. Every core feature is in the self-hosted release. Hosted adds managed infrastructure (backups, upgrades, SMS deliverability) and multi-tenant support. Production self-hosting requires a commercial license.
Can I switch from self-hosted to Hosted later?
Yes. Export your SQLite or Postgres database and we'll import it. Your properties, tenants, leases, documents, and conversation history come with you.
What's your business model?
Self-hosted production use requires a commercial license under the FSL-1.1-Apache-2.0 license. Hosted subscriptions fund development. Every release converts to Apache-2.0 after four years.
What if you go out of business?
Under the FSL-1.1-Apache-2.0 license, every release automatically converts to Apache-2.0 after four years — fully permissive, no strings. Your install keeps running. The source stays public.
What AI model does it use?
Self-hosted: Any OpenAI-compatible API works. Point it at GPT-4, Claude, Llama, DeepSeek, or your own local model. You bring your own API key. Hosted: Already configured — no API keys or model setup required.
What about data privacy?
Self-hosted means your data never leaves your server. Hosted runs on isolated subdomains with per-account data isolation.
