Built by a host, for hosts
Hi, I'm Fábio. I run 4 short-term rentals in Faro and I built HostPulse because I was tired of jumping between apps, missing check-ins, and finding out about empty nights too late. Everything you see here is what I use every day.

Empty-night alerts
Automatic warnings for unbooked nights in the coming days — so you have time to drop the price or fill the gap.

Unified calendar
Paste your iCal links from each platform and see everything in one calendar with clear colors for booked and empty nights.

How it looks
A peek at the calendar, alerts and reminders — all in one place.
How it works
1. Paste your iCal links
Go to Airbnb → Calendar → Availability → Sync with other calendars. Copy the link and paste it into HostPulse. Same for Booking.com and VRBO.
2. See it all on one calendar
Bookings from every platform appear together, with colors for booked, empty, check-in, and check-out.
3. Get alerts on your phone
Enable push notifications and pick which reminders you want. HostPulse takes care of the rest.
Free during beta
I'm looking for 10-20 Portuguese hosts to test HostPulse before the official launch. In return, you get the app free for the entire beta — and you help shape what comes next.

What is an iCal link? It's a public URL Airbnb (and others) generate with your booked dates. It does not give access to your account or your guests.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need an Airbnb/Booking account?+
No. You only need the iCal link — a public URL each platform gives you. HostPulse never sees your password.
Does it work on iPhone?+
Yes. Add it to your home screen and it works like a native app, push notifications included. No App Store needed.
Is my data safe?+
Yes. Your data stays in your account, never shared or sold. You can delete everything anytime.
How long does setup take?+
About 5 minutes per property. After that, it syncs automatically in the background.
Does it work with more than 5 properties?+
It does, but HostPulse is designed for small hosts (1-5 rentals). For larger portfolios there are more robust (and more expensive) tools.
