User Guide
01 — Getting Started
Welcome to HostLedger
For each month and each property, you log what you earn (bookings) and what you spend (expenses). HostLedger instantly tells you if you're profitable — in big, clear numbers.
Each rental gets its own card with its own color. You can track as many as your plan allows.
1
Go to Properties tab
Tap the Properties icon in the top navigation bar.
2
Tap Add
Enter a name like R1, R2, or "Beach House" and an optional address.
3
It appears on your Dashboard
Each property gets a unique color used consistently across all charts.
⚠️ Removing a property deletes all its data for every month. Only remove if you're sure.
03 — Bookings
Logging Your Income
You log bookings using a month calendar. Tap each day the property was occupied. The total is calculated automatically — including different prices for weekends.
1
Select the right month
Use the ‹ › arrows on the Dashboard to go to the month the guest actually stayed.
2
Set your prices
Enter your Standard price (Mon–Thu + Sun) and optionally a Weekend price for Fri & Sat. Friday and Saturday squares automatically turn pink when you add a weekend price.
3
Tap each booked day
Tap any day to mark it as booked. Days stay saved permanently — close and come back anytime to add more.
4
Long-press for a custom price
Hold any booked day for ~½ second — a price panel slides up. Set a special rate for that specific night. That day turns gold.

04 — Expenses
Tracking Your Costs
Expenses are split into two types so you always know what's predictable vs what was a surprise.
Fixed Costs
Same every month: mortgage, HOA, internet, insurance, management fee.
