We built it for ourselves first
Superhosts since 2015, tired of paying for a stack of tools we only half-used.
To run our own short-term rentals well, we ended up subscribing to a different provider for every little thing.
A digital guidebook here, WiFi marketing there, guest messaging somewhere else, each one its own login, each one another $10–15 a month, whether we used it or not:
Many of our places are seasonal, busy a few months and quiet the rest, so paying full price, all year round, for tools we only needed part of the time simply didn't add up. So we built our own all-in-one platform instead.
After running it across our own properties in New Zealand and Australia for years, we opened it up to every host:
