Baguette turns your building access code into a smart pass in Apple Wallet. Your family, cleaner, delivery drivers or Airbnb guests receive the code directly on their phone, without installing any app. HOW IT WORKS 1. Add your building (name, address, door code). 2. Create a recipient (tenant, guest, cleaner...). 3. Send them the pass via SMS, WhatsApp or email. 4. They add it to their Wallet in one tap. 5. When they arrive at your building, the code appears automatically on their lock screen. WHY BAGUETTE - Zero app required for recipients, just the Wallet already on their phone - Automatic code rotation (hourly, daily, weekly) - Time-based access windows per recipient - Revoke in 1 tap, the pass disappears instantly - Full access history (who, when, from where) - Geolocation: code appears when approaching your building - Designed for European apartment buildings (intercom codes, digicodes) WHO IS IT FOR - Homeowners sharing their door code with family, cleaners, delivery drivers. - Airbnb / short-term rental hosts: automated guest check-in, no key box or concierge needed. - Property managers: manage multiple addresses from one app with detailed stats. SECURITY Codes are transmitted encrypted. Each pass is tied to an identity. Time-based permissions and rotation make leaked codes useless. Server-side revocation invalidates the pass within seconds, even if the recipient already added it. PRICING - 7-day free trial on all plans. - Essential - $5.99/month or $39.99/year (-45%): 2 addresses, unlimited recipients, auto rotation. - Pro - $11.99/month or $107.99/year: unlimited addresses, analytics, priority support. No hardware. No installation. No commitment. FAQ - "Do recipients need to install Baguette?" Never. - "Does the code update automatically?" Yes, at your chosen frequency. - "What if I want to revoke access?" 1 tap, instant. - "What if my building code changes?" Update it once in Baguette, all active passes update automatically.

If the last few days have left you drained, sticky, and unsure what to do with your windows, you are not alone. When the heat will not let go, every choice feels heavy: open and let warm air in, or close and trap the warmth you already have? Ventilate is a calm guide for exactly that moment. It looks at your local weather, your indoor temperature, and each window in your home, then tells you when to close, when to open, and where to place a fan so cool air actually reaches you. No lectures, no guilt. Just clear next steps when your head is too foggy to guess. If you have air conditioning, check the windows first. When outdoor air is actually cooler, you can cool the home and run the AC less. Ventilate does not invent a number on your bill. It tells you the moment when air from outside can do the work. Free to use • Per-window advice: close, crack open, open wide, or fan placement • Timing that follows the weather, not the clock • Cool with outdoor air first when it helps, so you use less AC • See how your indoor temperature has changed since yesterday, with a sparkline on the dashboard • Temperature history chart: 24 hours, 7 days, or 30 days to see how many degrees you cooled or warmed • Fan guides for single-sided or cross-ventilation homes • Gentle reminders before the next change • Heat toolkit, Home Screen widget, Live Activity, Siri, and Shortcuts Set up once, then breathe Point your phone at each window so the app knows which way it faces and what is outside. Log your indoor temperature when you can. A thermometer helps, but you can start without one. Ventilate Pro, optional subscription Unlock outdoor air quality, pollen, UV index, and humidity on your dashboard. Pro feeds those signals into a sharper engine, so advice is clearer when cooler air is not always clean air to let in. Core window advice, history, widget, and toolkit stay free. Payment is charged to your Apple ID account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription renews automatically unless it is canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel subscriptions in your App Store account settings. Terms of Use: https://getventilate.app/terms Privacy Policy: https://getventilate.app/privacy
