our sweet spot
Boards are drowning in tools that weren't built for them.
Email chains nobody reads
Important board updates get buried under 30-reply Gmail threads and forwarded notes that never reach half the residents.
$300–$800/mo enterprise tools
HOAStart, Buildium, NABR — built for property management firms, priced for them too. Volunteer boards can't justify it.
Spreadsheets and Facebook groups
A printed binder for vendors. A Google Sheet for dues. A Facebook group for 'announcements.' Nothing connects, nothing carries over.
Everything your community needs, in one warm place.
Designed for older adults and casual tech users. Big type, plain language, big tap targets. Tested with real screen readers.
Personal dashboard
What's happening this week, at a glance.
Events & RSVPs
RSVP, see who's coming, get reminded.
Community updates
Board-approved posts. No spam, no noise.
Board directory
Who's on the board, what they do, how to reach them.
Neighbors
Find a neighbor's contact info — only if they've opted in.
3D neighborhood map
Real streets, every household pinned to its address.
Trusted contractors
Vetted local services with neighbor reviews.
Community info
Sheriff, fire, water, schools — the practical references.
Privacy controls
Residents decide which fields are visible to whom.
The volunteer work you're already doing — finally in one place.
Tracked, logged, exportable. Easy to hand off when terms end. No more "wait, who has the password to the Mailchimp account?"
Announcements that get read
Compose, choose audience, schedule or send now. Per-recipient delivery tracked.
Moderation queue
Residents submit posts; board approves before they go live. The Moderation tile glows warm orange when posts need review.
Event management
Capacity limits, RSVPs with race-safe locking, automatic 24h reminder emails.
Curated contractors
Add trusted vendors with provenance — 'Recommended by Nita Regan.' Real binder, real reviews.
Resident invitations
Tokenized email invites. New residents get a forced-password-reset on first login. One click.
Audit log of everything
Every state-change is logged. Filter by actor, action, or date. Export to CSV anytime.
An actual 3D map of your neighborhood.
Hover a house, see who lives there. Click a pin, jump to their resident profile. No competitor in the small-HOA space has anything close.
From the board's mouth to every resident's pocket.
The communication stack most HOAs duct-tape together with email, group texts, and a shared Google Doc — built into one trustworthy portal.
SMS notifications
Opt-in text alerts for events, urgent announcements, water shutoffs, and weather. Quiet hours respected, geo-protected, never spammy.
Direct messaging with the board
Residents tap a board member's card and start a private, audit-logged thread. No more lost emails, no more public Facebook fights.
Comments on agendas & minutes
Publish agendas before each meeting and minutes after. Residents react and comment inline — exactly where the context lives.
AI meeting recordings
Record live or upload after the fact. Auto-transcribed with speaker labels. Every meeting becomes a searchable archive.
Auto-generated summaries
Decisions, votes, action items, and next steps extracted automatically. Edit, approve, done — no one re-types the meeting recap.
One-click summary blast
Push the AI summary to every resident over email and SMS in seconds. Boards finally communicate at the speed residents expect.
Ten things you won't find in HOAStart, NABR, or Buildium.
Every season, every neighborhood, one portal.
Communities don't pause for product roadmaps. Neither does ours.
Block parties, BBQs, RSVPs that don't get lost.
Events with capacity limits, automatic 24-hour reminders, and a real attendee list — not a Facebook thread.
Board changeovers without losing the binder.
Hand off contractor lists, vendor reviews, and account access in one click. Audit log keeps every term honest.
Storms, plowing, water shutoffs — sent in seconds.
SMS + email blasts to every opted-in resident. Quiet hours respected. Geo-protected. Never spammy.
Honest about where we shine.
Other tools were built for property management firms, enterprise landlords, or casual social posting. We're built for the volunteer board running a community of 30 to 500 homes — and tailored to that community, specifically.

No two HOAs are the same. Neither are our portals.
We refuse to ship one-size-fits-all software. Every portal starts with a paid discovery audit, then we build to fit. Final pricing is quoted after the audit — transparent, per community, never per seat.
Paid discovery audit
A flat-fee deep dive into your bylaws, household data, board workflow, accessibility needs, and how your community actually communicates today. We listen, measure, and map every gap.
Tailored portal build
We build, brand, geocode, and seed your portal — on your own dedicated server, on your own domain. Configured around your real workflow, not a generic template.
Go live + train
We onboard your board live, train your first three admins, walk residents through their first sign-in, and stay on call through launch week. You go live with something that fits.
“Our printed binder of households became a real portal in a weekend. Residents in their 80s use it. The board stopped fighting Gmail. It just works.”
Questions boards always ask first.
