WHO'S ON THE TRIP - When you book a stay, you can now write down who else is coming — not just how many. - A name is enough. Phone or email is optional, so the kids go on the list too. - People you've had before are offered as you type, so the second trip is a few taps. - Adding someone here just notes who's expected. It doesn't text them — you still decide when to send the trip link. - Once someone opens that link, they move from "expected" to checked in, so you can see who's actually got the details. FIXES - Adding someone already on the trip now tells you, instead of quietly doing nothing. - The guest list stays out of the way on cancelled stays. ### 1.01 — 2026-08-16 PorchLite now works when the cabin Wi-Fi doesn't. OFFLINE - Your house manual, tasks, supplies and bring-next-time list are saved to your phone, so they're there when you pull up somewhere with no signal. - We save them ahead of time now, instead of only remembering the screens you happened to open while you had bars. - When the app can't reach the server, it tells you. Before, it would sometimes say your calendar was clear or your expenses were settled up when it simply hadn't loaded. - The app no longer signs you out when it can't check your account offline. WHO TO CALL - Your cleaner, plumber and handyman now live in Contacts, alongside everyone else you'd call, instead of being mixed in with the people who share the house. - You can browse contacts by type. - Family and guests can see the contacts they need. Your private notes on a contact stay private to you. HOME - Unanswered guest questions now show up on your home screen, so a question doesn't sit waiting just because you glanced at the badge. - Your bring-next-time list is on the home screen. FIXES - Supplies: an item you'd just restocked could stay stuck on "Out". Fixed. - Tapping a notification now opens the thing it's about, instead of dropping you at the home screen. - Replying to a guest's question now actually sends the reply. - A stray "0" could turn up next to quantities and other numbers. Gone. - Fixed a few screens that could spin forever, and a departure checklist that showed the wrong tasks. - The offline banner no longer pushes every screen title down the page. - Subscribing: the plan name now appears in the purchase sheet, and the Subscribe button no longer sticks when a purchase is waiting on someone else's approval. Under the hood, the app is easier on your battery while it's sitting in your pocket, and steadier at syncing in the background. ### 1.0 — 2026-07-28 No release notes. ## More apps by drew Bernard - [SplitBear](https://appshunter.io/ios/app/splitbear/id6760190665) All apps by drew Bernard: https://appshunter.io/developer/1825687361 --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
