Booking infrastructure for independent stays.

A commission-free booking engine with a real API. Embeds in your site, callable by AI agents, live in an evening.

REST /v1 · OpenAPI · signed webhooks · idempotent · test + live modes · double-booking blocked at the database

What it is

Only what a small property needs. Nothing it doesn't.

One public API. The admin, the website embed, and the hosted booking page are just its first consumers. Built for the underdogs — small, independent stays and the developers who serve them.

Your website is the booking engine.

The booking flow is a set of components that live inside your site and inherit its fonts, colors, and corners through CSS variables. No iframe, no redirect. A guest picks dates, picks a room, pays — three clicks, and they never left your page.

0% commission on direct bookings.

You earned the guest. Direct bookings through your own website cost a flat subscription and nothing else — no per-booking fee, no per-room math, and the price is published, not quoted.

AI agents are first-class guests.

The same API that powers your website is built for AI agents. A voice agent, a chat concierge, or a script can check availability, quote a stay, and confirm a real booking — not a bolt-on, the core.

Boring where it matters.

Double-booking is impossible at the database, not just the app. Money is integer cents. Every event lands on a signed webhook. Requests are idempotent, and test and live modes coexist, Stripe-style.

Building in the open

Every route, test, and gap is public.

We're a small team, building lean and in the open. The coverage dashboard shows what's tested, what's built, and what isn't yet — no hiding the incomplete parts.

On the roadmap

OTA sync is coming.

Expedia, Airbnb, and Booking.com sync isn't in v1 — it's coming through certified connectivity partners. Direct bookings come first; distribution rides on top. We'll say exactly when it ships.

Try it against test inventory. Free, no card.

The sandbox is a real property with real rooms and simulated payments. Make your first booking from code, from an agent, or by hand in the admin.
