HomeHerald
Your HOA, powered by AI
Only for iPhone
Free
Your whole neighborhood in one app. Pay dues in a tap, book the clubhouse, report a problem, and ask Herald anything, any time.
HomeHerald is the app for your neighborhood: residents, the board, and Herald, the community's assistant, in one place.
FOR RESIDENTS
- Ask Herald a question and get a card back: what you owe, your open requests, the clubhouse's open times, a neighbor-recommended electrician.
- Pay your dues from your phone. Set up AutoPay once and never chase a due date again.
- Book the clubhouse or another amenity from one ask. When it is time, your door code shows up on Home.
- Something broken? Say it. Herald writes up the request, you preview it and send it, and you follow the conversation with your board from there.
- Join with your community's code and choose your home. Scan the QR your board shares, or type the code.
- The directory, neighbor-trusted providers, Pet Protect lost-pet alerts, and your community's notices.
FOR THE BOARD
- Dues, assessments and the ledger, with online payments that land on the right home.
- Requests, violations and work orders in one queue, with Herald's read on each.
- Votes, meetings and events with RSVPs, documents with the rules read in, and a Board Chat with Herald at the table.
- A phone line and a text line for the community that Herald answers, day or night.
Explore a sample community before you sign in: tap Explore Demo on the first screen.
more - Writing in the Town Crier on your phone: what you type stays in view above the keyboard, however long the message.
- Before you send, the Town Crier shows exactly what residents will get by text. Long messages end cleanly with a link to read the rest.
- Smaller fixes and polish throughout.
3.0.5 17h ago
- Requests and emails are easier to work on your phone: who, where and what to do next sit right at the top, and Resolve, notes and details are one tap away.
- Draft with Herald is now a single button inside the reply box.
- The Front Desk's filters slide in one row, leaving more room for your messages.
- Management companies can send from the Town Crier to every community they manage at once.
- Chat boxes and resident cards now use the whole screen.
3.0.4 1d ago
- The Front Desk: your community's email, texts, calls, requests and work orders in one place, with Herald's read on each and one tap to act.
- The Town Crier: send an announcement, message, email or letter from one screen and see who got it.
- Board Chat keeps a history and the topics your board talks about most.
- Herald chat opens instantly.
- Swipe back from anything you open.
- Pay dues from a bank account where your community accepts it, with the fee shown before you pay.
3.0.3 2d ago
- Buttons at the bottom of a pop-up, such as Record Payment, are no longer covered by the Ask Herald bar.
- Pop-ups stay in place, and the page behind them no longer scrolls.
- Pay your dues from a bank account, right from the app, where your community accepts it. The fee is lower than a card and is shown before you pay.
- A bank payment now shows as pending the moment you make it.
- Announcements from your board keep their formatting: spacing, links, bold and lists.
3.0.2 Oct 2
HomeHerald 3.0 is a new app.
- A new look, with the moth on the door.
- Join your community with a code and choose your home. Scan the QR your board shares, or type the code.
- Ask Herald and get a card back: what you owe, open requests, clubhouse times, who to call. Pay your dues right from the card.
- Something broken? Herald writes up the request from what you say. You preview it and send it.
- Board Chat for the board, with Herald at the table.
- Explore a sample community before you sign in.
- Fixes and speed throughout.
3.0.0 Sep 28
Community Pulse
A new Pulse strip on your home page shows one-line notes from the HOA, like Pool cleaned or Gate repaired. Clear a line with a tap. Nothing is pushed or emailed, it is simply there when you open the app.
From the Board
Announcements now have their own card, color-coded by type, so notices with details stay separate from quick updates.
For boards: a Community Pulse card under Automate lets you post a line, turn sources on or off, and teach Herald to post one automatically from a vendor email.
2.7.9 Sep 17
Board Chat, with Herald in the room
Your board gets its own private group chat inside HomeHerald - realtime, board-only, with @mentions and push notifications on every device. Mention @herald and Herald answers right in the thread, grounded in your community's own documents and numbers. Residents never see it.
Herald answers the phone, and texts back (Automate+)
Your community can have its own local number that Herald answers around the clock. Residents check a balance, pay dues by voice, book the clubhouse mid-call, or text a photo to report a problem.
Your own community website (Automate+)
Publish a page for your community with your documents and a contact form, plus a Herald chat bubble that answers from what you have published.
Own more than one lot?
Owners and billing contacts can now see and pay dues for every property they are responsible for, not just the one they live in.
Also in this release: push notifications on desktop browsers, dues reminders across email, text, and mail with a preview before anything sends, and a faster, safer payment system.

2.4.02 May 28
Version 2.4.0 ships our biggest financial release yet, Amenity Automation (with locks), Voice chat, plus three major new community-management features. All of it is in service of one thing: letting your HOA run itself, without a management company.
BOOKS & BANKING
A purpose-built financial system for self-managed HOAs - no general accounting software, no separate bookkeeper. Multi-account ledger tracks operating, reserve, and savings. Profit & Loss, Accounts Receivable Aging, and Accounts Payable Aging reports, board-ready, exportable to PDF or CSV. New Bank Reconciliation closes the month in 10 minutes - tick each line against your statement and lock the period. Cash Position widget on the admin dashboard for at-a-glance health.
COMMUNITY VOTING
Run formal HOA votes from inside the app - Community-Wide for resident polls or Board-Only for executive decisions. Set quorum, voting window, and ballot options. Every vote has a complete audit trail showing who voted, when, and what they chose. Active votes surface as a banner on each resident's home screen so nothing slips past quorum.
COMMUNITY EVENTS
Schedule meetings, socials, and HOA gatherings with built-in RSVPs (Yes / No / Maybe). Day-before reminders go to anyone who said Yes or Maybe. Recurring event support for monthly board meetings and annual HOA meetings. Attendance audit makes follow-up easy.
WORK ORDERS (NO VENDOR PORTAL)
Email-based work orders that meet vendors where they actually are. Dispatch a work order, the vendor gets an email, replies stay threaded on the work order automatically. No portal, no vendor logins, no asking your plumber to learn new software. AI-assisted intake structures the request before it goes out. Track each one from pending to approved to paid.
DASHBOARD UPDATES
New "Upcoming Rentals" tile shows amenity bookings happening in the next 10 days - one tap to the booking page. Refreshed sidebar with Voting, Events, Reports, and Accounts.
iOS IMPROVEMENTS
Reports export to PDF and CSV through the iOS share sheet - save to Files, AirDrop to your Mac, or send via Mail. Faster tap response on admin modals. Various stability and performance improvements.
