Folio for Airbnb hosts
Bookings, back-to-back cleanings, and the cleaner you’re forever chasing on WhatsApp, all held in one quiet dashboard. Folio keeps your short-term rentals running so you don’t have to live in your inbox.
A few things, done properly. The operational spine of a short-term rental, without the all-in-one bloat.
Paste your Airbnb iCal link once. Reservations flow in on their own, and every checkout becomes a cleaning, so your calendar and your to-do list are finally the same thing.

On the way
One integration today: your Airbnb calendar. We’d rather ship that well than list a dozen we haven’t built.
The cleaner app
No group chat, no “did you get it?”. Your cleaner installs Folio to their home screen and gets a push notification the moment a job is assigned, moved, or cancelled, then taps done when it’s clean. It works on iPhone and Android, with nothing to download from an app store.

It’s $49 a month for hosts who want direct access to me (Sheldon, the founder). You get a monthly 30-minute call, priority email, early access to new features, and your feature requests moved to the top of the queue. Most hosts don’t need it, but some want to shape where Folio goes next, and this gives them the channel.
Yes. Host is $190 a year, which saves $38, the same as two months free. You can switch between monthly and annual anytime. Concierge is monthly only for now.
Airbnb gives every listing a calendar (iCal) link. Paste it into Folio and your reservations sync in automatically. It’s read-only and anonymised: real dates, no guest names or payouts, so it never touches your listing or your guests.
No. They add Folio to their phone’s home screen for free and get a notification when a job is assigned or changes. No App Store, no separate subscription for them.
