Features

Powerful features, simple experience

Everything you need to run a transparent, engaged residential community. Built by people who live in communities, for people who manage them.

Catch up

Everything that changed since you last looked

Catch up is the first screen a resident sees. What needs you sits at the top; below it, the week ahead and what your neighbours are doing.

  • Open votes, nominations and your open issues, as notes at the top
  • The next two events, then a link to the full calendar
  • One feed of posts, ideas, fixes, documents and events
  • A new member's first three things to do
  • Notifications in the app, by email and in the browser

The five things

Catch up gathers the other four

Talk

Ask the building, float an idea, join a group. Only verified neighbours, never strangers.

  • Community forum

    Discussions that stay organised. Only verified residents can access your community—no strangers, no guesswork.
  • Ideas and groups

    Community-driven improvement. Interest groups to connect neighbours, ideas board to crowdsource improvements.

Decide

Surveys, elections and meetings in one place. Open now shows everything waiting for your vote.

  • Surveys, elections and meetings

    Make decisions together, transparently. Five question types, anonymous surveys and clear results; nomination periods and a final ballot; meetings with minutes and papers.

Report

Log a repair once. Watch it go from reported to fixed.

  • Issues

    Never lose track of a maintenance request again. One list for residents, a board for managers, and seven statuses from New to Closed.

Our place

Neighbours, contacts, dates, documents, and what is going on around the estate.

  • About, contacts, calendar and Local

    Important information, always accessible. Committee, management and emergency contacts in one place, with the calendar and your local area.
  • Neighbours

    Only confirmed residents, never strangers. Granular visibility controls let each person choose what they share.
  • Documents

    Every document, always accessible. AGM minutes, insurance certificates, contracts—organised and versioned.
