We build software for people who run buildings
Not for enterprises with IT departments. For the owner who answers the phone, the warden who handles the gate, and the student who just wants to pay rent without visiting an office.

Our mission
To give every hostel, PG and co-living owner the kind of software a big hotel chain takes for granted — without the price, the setup project, or the IT team.
That means one subscription, not five tools stitched together. It means we move your data across for you instead of handing you an import guide. And it means a 20-bed PG gets the same software as a 500-bed campus — just priced for its size.
Our vision
A world where running a property doesn't mean chasing rent on WhatsApp, keeping a paper register at the gate, or rebuilding the same spreadsheet at the end of every month.
Where a resident can see what they owe without asking. Where a warden finishes a shift with nothing left to write up. And where an owner can open their phone on a Sunday, see the whole building in ten seconds, and put it down again.
Why we do what we do
Walk into most hostels or PGs and you'll find the same three things: a register on the desk, a spreadsheet on one person's laptop, and a WhatsApp group where complaints, rent reminders and festival wishes all land in the same place.
It works, in the sense that the building stays full and the rent mostly comes in — but it works because one person is holding all of it in their head, and that person is usually the owner, who is doing everything else too.
Big hotel chains fixed this years ago. That software just never reached the people who needed it most.
And it costs real money
Running a property by hand rarely fails in one big way. It fails in four small ways, every month.
Empty beds nobody noticed
A resident leaves. The register gets updated three days later. The room sits unlisted for a month. That's rent you never had a chance to collect.
Hours that disappear
Rent follow-ups. Register entries. Writing receipts. Answering the same question ten times. Each one is small. Together they eat most of the week.
Complaints that get forgotten
A broken tap mentioned in the corridor never becomes a task. Nobody is lying — it just never got written down. The resident notices, and doesn't come back next year.
The spreadsheet night
One evening a month rebuilding the same sheet from receipts and memory, to answer a question the system should already know.
There's a second reason we care. A hostel is where a student lives during the years that shape their career. A PG is where someone stays in their first month in a new city, before they know anyone. Whether the place is run well shows up in somebody's actual life, not just on a balance sheet — and empty beds, late rent, and forgotten complaints aren't a people problem. They're a tools problem, and tools we can fix.
How we got from a dashboard to three products
What we actually built, in the order we built it — not a mission statement, a sequence of decisions.
We started with a dashboard
Rapidrabbit Labs began building primelivingApp in 2024, and the first thing we made was a management dashboard — the obvious place to start. It didn't take long to work out it wasn't enough on its own.
- The obvious starting point
- Solved the owner's paperwork
- Stopped at the office door
Owners had tried software before, and gone back to the spreadsheet
We looked at what already existed. Nearly every product was just an admin panel: it didn't help anyone find or book the property, gave residents nothing to do themselves, and assumed someone would sit at a desk and type. Software that adds work instead of removing it stops getting used.
- Didn't help find or book the property
- Gave residents nothing to self-serve
- Assumed a desk, not a phone at 11pm
We built three things instead of one
If a better dashboard wasn't the answer, covering the two parts nobody else was covering was. A dashboard for the owner, a booking website so people can find and book the property, and a resident app so residents sort things out themselves — all reading the same data.
- A dashboard for the owner and office
- A booking website to be found and booked
- A resident app for self-service
The resident app shipped on Android and iOS
The resident app went out in 2026, completing the third piece. What an owner gets today is genuinely all three products working off one shared record, not a dashboard with two things still promised.
- Android and iOS, both live
- Same data as the dashboard, instantly
- The three-product promise, kept
Early access, and honest about it
We're onboarding our first properties now. That means founding prices, we move your data across for you, and you get a direct line to the people at Rapidrabbit Labs building it.
- Onboarding first properties
- Founding prices while we're early
- A direct line to the team
An owner isn't really buying software. They're buying a property that fills itself, collects its own rent, and stops calling them at 11pm.
Four rules we set at the start
Getting these wrong is why most software here ends up abandoned. We'd rather lose a feature than break one of them.
It had to work on a phone at 11pm
The person in the building at night is a warden with a phone, not an owner at a desk. Software that only works on a laptop doesn't get used where it matters.
It had to need no training
Small properties don't run training programmes. If a new staff member can't log a visitor without being shown how, that's our fault, not theirs.
It had to take messy data
Nobody's spreadsheet is tidy. Moving over had to mean us sorting out what you already have — not you retyping a year of records before it becomes useful.
It had to work for four people
The owner, the warden, the resident, and the parent paying the bill all need different things from the same system. Building only for the owner is why most tools stop getting used.
What we believe
Three things that decide what we build — and what we say no to.
Simple beats powerful
If a warden needs training to log a visitor, we built it wrong. Every screen should make sense to someone using it for the first time, at night, on a phone. We would rather ship five things that need no explaining than fifty that need a manual.
Honest beats impressive
We mark what's still coming instead of pretending it's ready. We don't invent reviews, logo walls, or customer numbers. If something on this site looks like proof, it's real — and where we have none yet, we say so plainly.
Built with owners, not for them
The owners using it tell us what breaks in their week, and that decides what we build next. Nearly everything we've shipped came from someone describing a bad Tuesday, not from a whiteboard.
We're early, and we'd rather say so
Some companies at this stage show logos they don't have and quotes nobody said. We'd rather just tell you: we're onboarding our first properties. That means founding prices, we move your data across for you, you talk to the people building it, and you get a real say in what comes next.
