For short-term rental hosts

Know what's ready before the next guest arrives.

Each stay, the turnover after it and the supplies that have to be there, on the same record as the house. Your cleaner ticks the checklist, counts what is left and sends photos from one link, with no account, and you see what got done before the next check-in.

Domicusto is in beta. Features and behavior may change. Free during early access, and your records are yours to download at any time.

Your records are not sold, the site carries no advertising trackers, and only the people you share them with see them. How your information is handled

The Overview of a demo cottage let by the night, with Stays right after Overview in the list of places down the left: guests here until today; under Needs attention, two supplies below par, coffee pods and toilet paper; Coming up, with the next arrival, the alarm test, a filter, a deep clean and the policy's renewal; the Stays card, with the stay in the house now, the next arrival and the last turnover, 15 of 16 lines done; the box for saying what happened, with Work it out and its AI mark; and beside them where the money went, by cleaning, linens and guest supplies, the systems and recent spending.

Home on a demo cottage, on a desktop and on a phone. Made-up records, real app.

Sound familiar?

Between check-out and check-in.

The few hours when the place has to be put right, usually while you are somewhere else.

“Guests at four, and you are two hours away.”

The turnover, line by line.

The visit after a stay has a checklist. Your cleaner opens one link on a phone, ticks what they did, photographs any line and sends it in, and you see it on the visit with the photos where they belong.

“Are we out of coffee pods again?”

Supplies with par levels.

A par level is the amount you want on hand of each. The cleaner's counts update what is on hand, Home says what is running low, and the Restock list is ready to copy or print.

“Was the lamp already broken, or was it this week's guests?”

Before and after, by room.

Photos by room, before and after, on every turnover, and a problem the cleaner reports lands on the visit with its photos, for you to make a finding and a job of. It records what was seen and when, and blames nobody.

“When did anybody last test the smoke alarms?”

Upkeep for a place between guests.

Build the schedule on a short-term rental and it adds what a place between guests needs: a deep clean and a contents audit every quarter, and filters every two months where there is forced air, beside the monthly alarm test every house gets. Each says when it was last done.

What it looks like

One link for the cleaner. No account.

What your cleaner sees when they open the link for a turnover.

The cleaner's page

The date and the place, the checklist with a Photo button on every line still to do, the counts the visit asks for, a box for what is wrong, photos by room before and after, and Send it to the owner. They never see money, the guest or the booking.

Make the link good for a week, two weeks or a month. Sending closes it, and you can close it sooner from the visit or from Settings, Sharing.

The cleaner's page on a phone, from the link for a demo turnover: the date and the cottage, a line saying no account is needed, and the checklist with its first three lines ticked, a photo under the first and a Photo button under each line, with Send it to the owner at the foot.

The cleaner's page, on a phone. One link, no account. Made-up records, real app.

What AI can help with

Say it once. Check it before it's kept.

Type a sentence in the box on Overview, or hand it a photo or a receipt, and AI proposes records for you to check. Nothing it proposes becomes part of the record until you have checked it and saved it.

“We need coffee”

You give it: A sentence, typed in the box on Overview.
It proposes: A request on the Restock list, with your words and the day. No count changes and nothing is spent.
You check: The item it matched, then Save.

“Restock the coffee before the next guest”

You give it: A sentence about the next turnover.
It proposes: A line on the visit before that stay, when only one visit could be meant; otherwise you pick where it goes.
You check: The visit or the list it goes on, then Save.

A photo of a room

You give it: One wide photo of each room as you walk the place.
It proposes: A list of what it can see, to correct and add to. It does not guess a price, a make or a model.
You check: Correct the list before you move to the next room.

A receipt

You give it: A photo of what you bought for the place.
It proposes: One expense with the vendor, the date, the amount and a category, and a vendor record if they are new to you.
You check: Each of them, then Save.

The review, Check what it found, for a sentence: a request for coffee pods, from what you said; a restock request, ticked, for Coffee pods on the Restock list, saying its count stays as it is, matched to Coffee pods in the kitchen, with what was said, We need coffee; Cancel, and Save 1 record.

A review window like the one a sentence's reading opens, made up for the demo cottage. The window is the real app.

A reading sends what you gave it to the AI provider, with a summary of the property's records so it can link to them. Ask, which answers questions from the record, sends the question with a copy of the property's records, not its photos or files. Nothing from the record goes until you press a button that carries the AI mark.

Reading is included; Settings, AI shows how many reads you have used this month, and the limit when there is one. If you reach it, or the included reading is paused, your own API key from the provider still works. A key comes from the provider's developer site: a ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini subscription is a different thing and does not include one.

Everything can be typed in by hand instead. Learn has more on the readers.

Everything in it

Everything it does for a host.

What is in it for a place guests stay in, grouped by what you are trying to do.

Stays

Stays right after Overview: staying now, ahead and past.
Each stay as the house remembers it: the dates, where it was booked and the reference, typed by you.
What a stay paid, if you type it from the statement, beside what the house spent on it.
A Stays card on Overview with the guests in the house, the next arrival and the last turnover.

Turnovers

A visit after each stay, from a checklist made for turnovers.
A photo of what done looks like, on any line.
Log the turnover from a stay once the guests have left.
Photos before and after, by room.

The cleaner's link

One link, no account, good for a week, two weeks or a month.
Tick, count, photograph a line, say what is wrong, and send it.
Closed by sending it, or by you, any time.

Supplies

Par levels for what runs out, tracked or not, property by property.
Counts from the cleaner's link, Running low on Overview, and what is below par under Needs attention.
The Restock list: ask for something by name, then copy it as text or print it.

Upkeep and the house

A schedule for a place between guests, chores with a name on them, and your own calendar can subscribe to it.
Systems, papers, contents, Outlook and History, as on any home.
Expenses for cleaning, linens and guest supplies, tied to a stay if you want.

One record, one account

The place keeps its own record underneath.

A short-term rental is the same record as a home, with the stays and the turnovers beside it. Live there yourself for a season and the Stays page steps aside, kept out of sight with everything in it; let it again and it comes back. One account holds it beside your own home, each property answering for itself.

In the app, a short-term rental is Domicusto STR: the house's record, plus each stay, the turnovers, the cleaner's link and the supplies.

Good to know

Before the next check-in.

What it doesn't do

It does not connect to a booking platform, import bookings or sync a calendar: you type each stay.
It does not take bookings, set prices, message guests or pay your cleaner.
It does not add up your income: what a stay paid is a figure you type, beside what the house spent.
It does not email you when the cleaner sends a visit in; it is there on the visit when you look.
There is no link for guests.

What people ask

Does my cleaner need an account?

No. They open the link on a phone, tick, count and photograph, and send it. Sending closes it.

What does the cleaner see?

The visit's date and the place, its checklist with any photos of what done looks like, and the boxes for counts, problems and photos. Never money, the guest or the booking.

How do stays get onto the record?

You type them: the dates, where it was booked and the reference, and a first name for the guest if you want one. Nothing is brought in from a platform.

Can I see what a stay cost me?

Each stay shows what was spent on it, from the expenses tied to it, beside what it paid as you typed it. The app does not work out a profit.

Do I have to use AI?

No. Everything can be typed in by hand. Nothing from the record goes to an AI provider until you press a button that carries its mark.

Is it free?

Domicusto is free during early access. AI use may have limits or need a separate setup, which your account details will say.

Start with the next turnover.

A stay, the checklist, and the link for whoever does the clean.
