Booking Calendar

The Booking Calendar feature allows co-owners to coordinate property usage effectively.

Financial Tracking

With the Financial Tracking feature, co-owners can easily monitor shared expenses and rental income. The tool provides a clear overview of who owes what, reducing confusion regarding financial responsibilities. Automatic settlement suggestions simplify transactions, and a one-click reset option for annual cleanups makes it easy to maintain accurate financial records.
