Dues, reminders, late fees, pool house bookings, key cards, announcements and every record — handled automatically, so your board can go back to being neighbors.
Type your neighborhood's name. Homeowners get a one-tap sign-in link by email or text — no passwords, ever.
Porchlight replaces the spreadsheet, the group text, the shoebox of checks and the volunteer who "handles the pool house."
Invoices go out on your date. Reminders, past-due notices, late fees and interest post themselves. Payment plans and mid-year proration built in. Cards and bank payments straight to the association's account.
One message reaches every household by text, email and the app. Schedule it, pin it, see exactly who got it.
Homeowners book the pool house from their phone. Fees and deposits collected, approvals in one tap, and it lands on the shared neighborhood calendar automatically.
Every card tied to a lot. Lost-card reports, replacements, and amenity access that pauses on its own when dues go unpaid — and restores the moment they pay.
Broken gate reader, trash cans, a neighbor's boat — homeowners report it in the app (anonymously if they want). The board replies in a thread, nothing gets lost in a text.
A neighbors-only place to sell, give away and find things — photos, private messages, no strangers. The feature homeowners open every day.
CC&Rs, bylaws, handbook, minutes, budgets and architectural requests in one place, always the current version, available 24/7.
Dues collected, expenses by category, vendor bills with approvals, budget vs. actual — a P&L the whole board can read at a glance.
A home sells: the buyer gets a welcome packet, cards move over, dues prorate, the seller's access ends. Records stay right automatically.
A command center that does the work before you log in.
One link. No passwords. Works on any phone.
One business per trade, chosen for your community, each with a neighbors-only deal. Local companies sponsor the directory, so the association gets a benefit homeowners actually use at no cost — and business ads stay out of the marketplace.
For local businesses: sponsor a neighborhoodAbout 12 minutes: dues rules, board contacts, amenities, your homeowner list and documents. It saves as you go.
Your roster, documents, logo and dues schedule are imported and checked. Your board gets sign-in links the same day.
A single announcement by text and email. Each household taps once and they're in — no accounts to create.
Invoices, reminders, late fees, bookings and access run on schedule. The board sees a preview the day before anything posts.
“Board members are unpaid volunteers. The software should do the work — not create more of it.”
