RoadPact

Read full description

12 households share your road. Who owes what for the new culvert? When was the last grading, and how much did it cost? If your private road is run on a stack of spreadsheets, emails, and "I think we agreed last spring," RoadPact is for you. RoadPact keeps the records for a shared private road - members, cost-sharing, meetings, and maintenance - all on your iPhone. Built for the volunteer who actually keeps the books for a private road association or shared-driveway group. WHAT ROADPACT DOES - Member roster - every parcel, owner, frontage, and share - Assessment calculator - split a maintenance cost across parcels by frontage, equal share, or usage, automatically - Shared-cost ledger - record who owes what and who has paid (recordkeeping only; RoadPact does not process payments) - Maintenance log - grading, culverts, snowplowing, gravel, drainage, repairs, with vendor and cost - Meeting minutes and vote records - annual and special meetings - A records PDF you can hand to a lender, a buyer, your accountant, or your attorney WHY ROADPACT When you sell or refinance on a private road, your lender often wants a recorded road maintenance agreement and a history of upkeep. When a neighbor disputes a bill, you want the meeting minutes and the math. Generic split-the-bill apps don't know that Maine and California treat private-road cost-sharing differently. RoadPact keeps it all in one place. WHAT ROADPACT IS NOT - NOT legal advice, and NOT a substitute for an attorney - The records it creates are NOT a legally recorded agreement - NOT affiliated with any town, county, road commission, or DOT - NOT a payment service - it never moves money PRIVATE BY DESIGN Your records live on this iPhone. No account to make. No cloud. Face ID lock is available whenever you want it. FOR EVERYONE 1 road, up to 4 parcels, a basic maintenance log, one assessment calculation, and a next-meeting reminder. WITH PRO $14.99 a year with a 7-day free trial, or a single $39.99 Lifetime purchase. Pro adds: - Assessment calculator - split a cost across parcels by frontage, equal share, or usage. - Shared-cost ledger - record who owes what and who has paid (recordkeeping only; no payments). - Meeting minutes and vote records for annual and special meetings. - Full maintenance log - grading, culverts, snowplow, gravel, repairs, with vendor and cost. - Records PDF packet for a lender, buyer, accountant, or attorney. - Unlimited roads and parcels - no 1-road, 4-parcel cap. - State private-road-law reference (Maine SRA, California Civil Code 845, and more). - Home screen widgets - next meeting and outstanding assessments. Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the end of the period. Manage or cancel anytime in your Apple ID settings. The Lifetime option is a single purchase with no auto-renewal. Important Data Notice: RoadPact stores all data locally on your iPhone. The app does not include built-in data export, import, or backup features beyond records-PDF generation. Your data is included in iOS Backups (iCloud Backup or Finder/iTunes backups) when those are enabled. If you delete RoadPact without an iOS Backup available, your data will be permanently lost. iPhone-only, by design.
