Document the stay. Preserve the evidence. Stay ahead of the deadline. HostLog is a private damage and inspection journal for short-term rental hosts. Keep pre-stay and post-checkout photos, damage details, repair estimates, communications, and important filing dates connected to the right stay — then export a clear PDF when you need to make your case. BUILT FOR THE MOMENT DAMAGE IS FOUND - Capture timestamped before-and-after inspection photos. - Log damage details, repair costs, and supporting images. - Track guest-response, filing, and support-escalation windows. - Choose private local reminders so a date does not slip past. - Generate a basic damage PDF at no cost. PRIVATE BY DESIGN - No account or login. - Records live in HostLog on your iPhone and are included in your standard iOS device backup. - No analytics, advertising, AI, or tracking SDKs. - Export a portable JSON archive whenever you choose. - App Lock with Face ID or Touch ID is free for everyone. FREE TO START - 1 property and up to 3 stays per property. - Up to 5 photos per inspection. - Unlimited damage records. - Individual damage timelines and on-device deadline reminders. - Basic damage PDF, Recently Deleted recovery, backup export, and Home Screen widget. HOSTLOG PRO - Damage Claim Builder PDF with before/after evidence and communication timeline. - Before/After photo comparison. - Unlimited properties, stays, and inspection photos. - Unified deadline dashboard across every property. - Multi-platform organization and Communication Log. - Annual Hosting Report and Insurance Schedule PDFs. Choose flexible monthly access or a one-time Lifetime purchase. Both unlock the same Pro features. Localized prices are shown by the App Store before purchase. Monthly access renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel in Apple ID subscription settings. Lifetime access is a non-consumable in-app purchase and does not renew. Restore Purchases is available on the purchase screen. HostLog does not connect to Airbnb, VRBO, Booking.com, or any rental platform. Platform names are optional labels only. HostLog does not file claims, message guests, provide legal or insurance advice, or guarantee a claim outcome. Verify current platform rules before relying on a calculated date.

If you had sync turned on in v1.0, your records remain on this device; export a JSON archive (Settings, Your data) to keep a portable copy. Your data - New: Export JSON backup writes a portable archive of every text record to Files, mail, or AirDrop. Photos travel with your Photos library separately. - New: Import JSON backup reads a previously-exported archive and merges by record ID. Existing records with the same ID get updated; new ones get added. Nothing is deleted by the import. Delete and recovery - Every record type (property, stay, damage, inspection, deadline, communication) now has a Delete button at the bottom of its Edit form. Damage records and stays were not deletable in v1.0 - they are now. - Every destructive action shows a confirmation alert before firing. Tap Delete, confirm the alert, then the record moves to Recently Deleted. - Recently Deleted shows a visible Restore button on each row. v1.0 only exposed Restore as a left-swipe gesture that most users never discovered. - After deleting a record from its Edit form, the parent detail page closes cleanly instead of staying on the stale view. Damage Claim Builder PDF - The Communication Timeline section renders your real logged communications, sorted by date, with sender, method, and contact context. v1.0 printed a placeholder note here. - Damage photo captions no longer overlay the image. The EXIF capture timestamp sits in its own caption strip beneath each photo. Bug fixes - Resolution picker on the damage edit form now shows the selected option in the row. - Logging a damage now creates the two automatic deadlines (claim filing window, support escalation window). v1.0 had the calculator built but never wired it up, so the Deadlines tab stayed empty. - Photo grid no longer crashes when removing pending photos in rapid succession. - Reference photos section in the property edit form no longer reserves a blank row before any photo is added. Thanks for the feedback that drove most of this round.
