ARKHE Software vs Ebby

ARKHE is how recovery housing operators run their houses: intake, rent, drug screens, sign-in, phases, and state compliance in one place, instead of a spreadsheet, a group text, a filing cabinet, and a billing tool that was never built for this. Built by someone who runs sober living homes, not a software company guessing at the job. WHO IT'S FOR Owners, house managers, staff, and residents at recovery residences and sober living homes. Owners and staff run the whole operation. Managers see the one house they run. Residents get a simple app for check-in, chores, meetings, and rent. WHAT'S INSIDE Phases and accountability: set your own phase ladder with curfews, minimum stays, and weekly meeting counts. Residents request to advance from their phone and staff approve. Issue a strike for a missed curfew or skipped chore, and it expires on its own. Sign-in and meetings: residents sign in and out from their phone with a location check against the house. AA and NA meetings log the same way, so attendance is verified instead of assumed. Drug screening: record a screen with the panel you use, mark the temperature, and attach a photo. A positive opens a relapse-protocol checklist and alerts staff. Pull a random sample with one tap and keep the audit log. Compliance: incident reporting built to Pennsylvania DDAP 28 Pa Code 717.31, with the filing countdown, root cause, and plan of correction. Staff credential tracking for CPR, Narcan, and background checks. Every signature and document is logged with a timestamp. Forms: photograph a paper form or upload a PDF and ARKHE reads it into a working digital form, field by field. Assign it to a house or a resident and track who has finished. Operations: automated weekly rent with per-resident and per-payer rates, card payments through your own Stripe account, a lead-to-intake pipeline, maintenance requests, and house messaging. Insight: occupancy, length of stay, employment, and total days of sobriety supported across every house, plus the monthly county and SCA reports funders ask for. Residents without a smartphone still work. Staff can check them in and record their screens. Your data is yours. Export it anytime. Encrypted storage with role-based access. ARKHE is an operations and records platform for recovery housing. It is not a medical device and does not diagnose, treat, or prevent any medical condition. Access is by invitation from your organization's account. To see the app, book a demo at arkhesoftware.com.

Ebby is the day-to-day operating system for a sober living home, built by someone who runs one. If you manage a recovery residence, you already know the problem. Rent lives in a notebook or a group text. Bed assignments live in your head. Drug test results live on a clipboard. Overnight passes get approved verbally and forgotten. When something gets questioned weeks later, there is no record. Ebby puts all of it in one place, on your phone. WHO STILL OWES RENT See collected versus expected for the current week at a glance, with every resident's status. Partial payments show as partial, not paid. Record cash, Zelle, Venmo, Cash App, or a check in a couple of taps. Send a reminder without composing a message. YOUR BED BOARD Every room, every bed, who is in it, and what is open. Move a resident between beds and occupancy updates everywhere. Know your real vacancy before you answer the phone about an intake. RANDOM DRUG SCREENING WITH A HISTORY Log a UA in seconds. Ebby tracks the cadence per resident and shows you who is current, due, and overdue, so screening stays genuinely random instead of accidentally predictable. Results build a running history you can actually produce later. OVERNIGHT PASSES WITH A TRAIL Approve or deny a pass, with the destination and contact on the record. New residents automatically require a second approval. Every decision is dated and attributable. THE RESIDENT PICTURE Rent rate, move-in date, sobriety date and days clean, contact details, payment history, test history, and passes — on one screen instead of four places. REPORTS YOU CAN HAND SOMEONE Occupancy, collections, retention, and a weekly cash tie-out. The numbers a certification body, an accountant, or a referral partner asks for. DROP IN A DOCUMENT AND SKIP THE TYPING Getting started is usually the worst part. Photograph your rent sheet, or drop in a spreadsheet or PDF, and Ebby reads it and proposes your roster — names, rent, beds, move-in dates. You review and correct every row before anything is saved. Nothing about money is ever committed without you confirming it. MULTIPLE HOUSES Switch between houses from the header. Reports can roll up across all of them. BUILT FOR A PHONE, AND FOR REALITY Ebby is designed for someone standing in a hallway, not sitting at a desk. It keeps working when your signal does not, tells you plainly when something failed instead of pretending it saved, and never buries a destructive action behind a single tap. ABOUT YOUR RESIDENTS' INFORMATION The people in your house are in recovery, and their information deserves care. Ebby does not sell or share your data, has no advertising and no third-party tracking, and your data belongs to you. You can export it or delete your account and its records from inside the app. Ebby is an operations tool for housing providers. It is not a medical record system, and it does not provide clinical, legal, or financial advice.
