Kouchd product roadmap

​

Available in the current web app

• Shared stay details, household notes, and chores.
• Contribution records for payments arranged outside Kouchd, groceries, supplies, and other agreed help.
• Individual guest agreements: hosts can tailor stay dates and contribution terms per guest while keeping household guidelines shared. Guests review and accept the agreement that applies to them.
• Host-shared external payment options: hosts can share payment details or links for PayPal, Cash App, Zelle, or Apple Pay. Guests pay the host outside Kouchd.
• Payment reminders that reflect due dates, accepted grace periods, late-fee terms, and the current ledger. Email and optional SMS follow saved preferences and notification service availability.
• Host and guest views, with guest financial details shown to the guest and the host managing that stay.
• Optional email reminders and opt-in transactional SMS preferences.

In progress

• Flexible payment schedules and recorded overnights: Guests can choose daily or weekly contributions, select an initial weekday for weekly payments, and request later schedule changes for host approval. The work includes partial contribution tracking, a zero-due-balance requirement, a 14-day change limit, and prorated charges when a schedule changes. Hosts can also choose to bill an individual guest only for completed overnights they record; nonconsecutive nights are logged separately, and weekly rates are prorated across recorded nights. When late fees are enabled, the $5 daily or$25 weekly fee follows the accepted agreement’s grace period.

​

Being explored

• Native iOS experience: A production-connected iOS app is in development, using the earlier iOS design direction. TestFlight and App Store availability will be announced only after verified distribution. Android remains in design exploration.
