HostBook - Rental Finance
Airbnb co-host splits & profit
Free · In‑App Purchases
See channel status and connected spaces clearly in the new Sync Center, with a more useful Apple Watch and sharper guest and financial workflows.
HostBook is the financial operating system for co-hosted short-term rentals.
Built for Airbnb, Vrbo, and Booking.com hosts who split income with co-hosts, manage multiple listings, and need complete clarity on where the money actually goes.
HostBook tracks the full financial reality of running short-term rentals:
bookings, expenses, co-host payouts, recurring rent, shared costs, multi-currency income, and portfolio profitability — all in one calm, native Apple experience.
No spreadsheets.
No bloated accounting software.
No third-party servers storing your business data.
— CO-HOST PAYOUTS, DONE PROPERLY —
This is where HostBook stands apart.
Most finance apps stop at “income minus expenses.”
HostBook handles the real-world complexity of co-host arrangements:
Percentage-based revenue splits
Fixed per-booking payouts
Tiered co-host rates for short vs. long stays
Shared expense reimbursement tracking
Effective-date rules for changing agreements over time
Automatic recurring rental costs
The Co-host Payout view shows exactly:
who owes who
how the numbers were calculated
what was already paid
what remains outstanding
Clean. Transparent. Reconciliation without the spreadsheet chaos.
— UNDERSTAND YOUR PORTFOLIO —
See how your business is actually performing.
Net profit dashboard with month-over-month comparisons
Waterfall reports showing Gross → Expenses → Co-host → Net
Revenue and profit trends across your listings
Occupancy, ADR, and booking performance insights
Year-over-year portfolio comparisons
Channel breakdowns for Airbnb, Vrbo, Booking.com, and more
Filter by listing, date range, or transaction type
HostBook helps you spot which listings are thriving and which are quietly draining profit.
— BUILT FOR REAL HOST WORKFLOWS —
Track bookings, expenses, rent, reimbursements, and platform fees
Multi-currency support with locked historical exchange rates
Attach receipt photos to transactions
Recurring monthly rental fee automation
Listing-specific colors and identities
Full audit log of every change made
Everything is designed to feel fast, focused, and easy to trust.

more Bug fixes and general improvements
2.9.7 Jul 22
HostBook 2.9.6 brings clearer channel visibility and a more dependable daily workflow.
• The new Sync Center shows configured feeds, connected spaces, update freshness, publishing status, and recent activity without overstating external channel refreshes.
• Connected listings are grouped so availability relationships are easier to understand at a glance.
• Apple Watch Today prioritizes arrivals and departures. Quick Add offers a clearer Today/Tomorrow flow and confirms iPhone delivery or queueing.
• Saving a pending balance as paid now refreshes Dashboard by Listing immediately.
• With Spread across months enabled, full quarterly or annual charges are no longer counted again in Dashboard, Reports, or co-host statements.
• New Guest stays open when you switch apps, preserves the unsaved draft, and uses a cleaner native Back flow.
• Additional responsiveness and stability refinements across iPhone and iPad.
2.9.6 Jul 17
HostBook 2.9.5 is our most polished release yet.
• Faster, smoother navigation and scrolling, even with busy portfolios.
• A redesigned Add Transaction experience makes bookings, expenses, cleaning, and listing fees easier to record correctly.
• Purpose-built iPad layouts use the full screen in portrait and landscape, while iPhone stays focused and compact.
• Calendar labels remain readable, connected listings are grouped in Day Overview, and cross-month stays now produce accurate monthly occupancy.
• Channel changes are handled more reliably, including cancellations, rebookings, moved reservations, manual blocks, and connected listings.
• Reports drill-downs now show complete booking and upcoming-charge details.
• Light is now the default appearance for new installs; System and Dark remain available.

Calendar sync you can trust.
• Channel cancellations sync back: when a booking is cancelled on Airbnb, Vrbo or Booking.com, HostBook cancels it, frees the dates everywhere — including connected listings and your other channels — and sends you a notification.
• Re-booked dates import as a fresh booking. Reinstated reservations return with your amounts intact, with a double-booking alert if the dates were retaken in the meantime.
• Blocking dates manually can now also block the connected listings you choose — none are ever blocked without your say.
• Reinstalling the app or restoring a backup no longer re-blocks freed dates on your channels: HostBook now syncs first, publishes after.
• New reminder to review cancelled bookings so refunds and kept payouts stay accurate in your reports.
• A cancelled stay's automatic cleaning expense is removed, and its payment reminders are silenced.
• Many more sync reliability fixes for multi-channel, multi-listing setups.

v2.4 "Money-truth" makes your numbers tell the whole story — every refund, deposit and payout accounted for.
- Security deposits: hold one against a booking, then mark it returned or kept after checkout. A kept (or partially kept) amount counts as income and splits with your co-host. Optional deposit-return reminder.
- Cancellations & refunds: cancel with no, partial or full refund. The dates free up on your calendar and your connected channels, and your revenue and co-host share adjust automatically. Reinstate anytime.
- Reimbursements: log money you get back — AirCover, guest damage claims, recovered costs — as income, shared by your co-host's percentage.
- Pending payments: track an uncollected balance and get a reminder to chase it; it stays out of received income until it's paid.
- Upcoming charges: pick a date range and see what's due to collect and which deposits to return, with totals.
- Smarter co-host math: a fixed fee drops to $0 on a cancelled booking, and percentage fees follow the refund-reduced amount — in the app, reports and statements.
- New reminders: pending-payment and deposit-return alerts, each at a time you choose.
- Tap any transaction to open it for editing.
- Connected-listing fixes: cancelling a booking now frees its linked listings on Airbnb and other channels, not just inside HostBook.
Fully localized in English, German, Spanish, French and Italian.
