Beds & rooms
The register, except it counts itself.
Every bed on every floor, coloured by what it is doing — and one already taken cannot be given twice.
PG & hostel management software · India
Run the whole PG from one phone.
StayOne is PG and hostel management software for India — beds, rent, UPI payments, complaints and staff in one app, replacing the register, the rent sheet and the WhatsApp group your building runs on today. Your manager and your residents use the phone already in their pocket, in the language they speak.
- Nothing to pay, and no card to start
- Your residents’ details stay yours
- Export everything and walk away whenever

The screens themselves
Three screens your manager lives in.
Photographed from the running app, not drawn for a website — the same ones they open on a Tuesday morning.
Rent & dues
Who has paid, and who hasn’t.
Bill the whole building in one tap, take part payments, and see deposits counted apart from rent.
UPI payments
You check the screenshot.
Straight to your own UPI ID — no gateway, no cut — and nothing is credited until you have approved it.
A look inside · live
Four things a spreadsheet cannot do. Do them yourself.
The real screens, on sample data. All four tabs keep one set of books — so check someone into a bed here, and their name is in the rent register before you get there.
Tab one · Beds
A bed cannot be given to two people.
The refusal is the product. Not a warning printed after the fact — the second lease
is never written, and the app answers 409 BED_OCCUPIED.
- Tap one of the dashed, vacant beds.
- Check someone in off the waiting list.
- Now try to check a second person into that same bed.
Tab two · Rent
Bill a floor, then collect half of one rent.
Part payments, receipts and the arrears that follow are the three things a rent register on paper gets wrong. Every rupee taken here prints a receipt.
- Tap Bill all to raise this cycle's dues against every active lease.
- Collect one in full, and take a part payment from someone else.
- Filter to Part paid, then Overdue.
Tab three · Complaints
A complaint is read, not filed by whoever sounds angriest.
The lists grading what you type are backend/src/lib/triage.ts, ported
here unchanged. A gas leak outranks a corridor bulb however it was typed, and in
whichever language it was typed in.
- Tap a sample — the Hindi and Telugu ones too.
- Watch the severity move as you type.
- File it, and find it sorted into the manager's queue.
Tab four · Ask
Ask the same books a question.
Every sentence is written from the figures the other three tabs are showing, never from a script. It can read; it cannot record a payment or move a resident.
- Tap one of the sample questions.
- Go back to Rent and collect a payment.
- Ask about dues again — the answer has moved.

Where the answer comes from
Every sentence is written from the same figures the other three tabs are showing — not from a script. Check a resident in, collect a rent, file a gas leak, then ask again and the answer has moved.
In the product it works the same way, against your own data, fetched as you: a manager's answer covers their property and an owner's covers their portfolio. Every source it can reach is a read. It cannot record a payment or move a resident.
Also in the box
Eight more things you were keeping somewhere else.
Beds, rent and UPI have their own screens above. These are the rest — the jobs that usually live in a second notebook, a WhatsApp group, or nobody’s hands at all.
-
Complaints that sort themselves
Residents write in their own words and never pick a priority — the app grades what they wrote, in three languages, and the gas leak goes above the corridor bulb. Try it in the sandbox above.
-
Join by QR code
Print the A4 poster for the gate or send the link on WhatsApp. They type a name and a number, and nobody becomes a resident until you approve them.
-
Staff, attendance & payroll
Days worked, advances taken, and what each person is owed at month end.
-
Expenses & reports
What came in, what went out and what it leaves — per property, per month.
-
Documents & KYC
Agreements and ID proofs, filed against the resident they belong to.
-
Notices
Post once. Everyone sees it, and there is a record of who was told what.
-
English, हिन्दी, తెలుగు
Every screen, not just the menus — each person reads it in their own language.
-
Ask
Behind the chat button on every screen. It answers from your own figures, sees only what you are allowed to see, and can only read.
One app · four points of view
The owner, the manager and the resident do not need the same screen.
So they do not get it. Each role opens to the thing that role actually does, and can only ever see its own properties.
The whole portfolio, in one number.
- Revenue, occupancy and dues across every PG
- Which property collected least this month
- Add a property, a manager or a whole floor of beds
Today, and what still needs doing.
- Rent due today, tickets open, beds free
- Check someone in, take a payment, post a notice
- Call a resident straight from their tile
Rent, complaints and paperwork.
- What is due, what is paid, with receipts
- Raise a complaint and watch it move
- Download their own agreement and receipts
Security
Your residents’ details are not a growth strategy.
Stated plainly, because a PG holds ID proofs, agreements and payment records for a hundred people who did not get a choice about it.
A PIN, hashed
Six digits, never stored as typed. Nobody at StayOne can read a resident's PIN, and a forgotten one is reset, not looked up.
Scoped to what is yours
Every screen and every answer is limited to the property or organisation you belong to. One owner's portfolio cannot appear in another's.
Built to survive a bot
Public forms are rate-limited per address and carry a proof-of-work check, so a script left running in a browser tab cannot fill your database with junk.
An audit trail
Who changed what, and when. Rent moved, a bed reassigned, a resident checked out — recorded rather than remembered.
Getting started
Running this week, not this quarter.
The only real work is entering your rooms and your residents once. After that the app does the counting.
Tell us about the PG
Name, city, how many floors and what sharing you run. That is the whole form — no card, no call scheduled before anyone has seen anything.
Two minutesYour beds go in
Rooms and beds are created per floor in one pass, with rent per bed. Existing residents are added against the bed they are actually in, with their rent day.
An afternoonYour manager runs the day
They open Today and see rent due, tickets and free beds. Residents get a PIN and see their own rent and complaints. Nothing to install — it opens in a browser.
From day one
For local businesses · not PG owners
You already supply the PGs. Be where they look.
When an operator needs a laundry, a tiffin service or a plumber at short notice, this is the list they check. Getting on it is free, and takes about a minute.
-
Free to be listed
No fee, no commission, and nothing taken from what an operator pays you.
-
We ring you first
Somebody calls the number you give us before it is shown to anyone. Nothing is listed off a form alone.
-
Off the list whenever you want
One message and you are removed. You are not signing up to anything you cannot leave.
-
Your city, your areas
You say which neighbourhoods you will actually travel to, and only operators there see you.
List your service
Laundry, tiffin, housekeeping, plumbing, electrical, pest control, internet and more.
What it costs
Request access
Nothing yet. Then by size, never by feature.
Billing is switched off while StayOne is in early access, and every feature is open to every account. When it does start, the only thing that separates the plans is how big your PG is. A fifteen-bed PG needs its rent ledger and its expense book exactly as much as a two-hundred-bed one does — so a bigger plan buys room, not capability.
StayOne Lite
50 beds
A single PG or a small hostel.
StayOne Pro
100 beds
A larger building, or two of them.
StayOne Max
Unlimited
A chain, at whatever size it reaches.
All three include everything: the bed map, rent and receipts, reports, expenses, payroll, visitors, bulk import, tickets, notices and the resident app in English, Hindi and Telugu. Rent is collected by UPI into your own account or as cash at the desk — there is no gateway and no cut. Prices are not set yet; nothing is charged while StayOne is in early access.
Straight answers
The questions every owner asks first.
Can I see it working before I give you anything?
Yes, twice over. The sandbox on this page is the product’s own logic running in your browser — the bed guard, the complaint triage and the assistant are the real code, on sample data. Beyond that, the live demo opens the full app as an owner, a manager or a resident. Neither asks for a card, a call or an email.
Do my residents have to install anything?
No. It opens in the browser on any phone, and they sign in with a 6-digit PIN — no app store, no updates, no 200MB download on a phone that is already full. There is an Android app for staff who want one.
My manager is not technical. Will they actually use it?
Their screen opens on one question — what needs doing today — and the four things they do most are one tap from it: check someone in, take a payment, post a notice, look at a ticket. It is in English, Hindi or Telugu, whichever they set. If they can use WhatsApp, this is a smaller step than that was.
I already have residents. Do I start from scratch?
No. Rooms and beds go in per floor in one pass, and existing residents are added against the bed they already occupy with their own rent day, so the first cycle bills correctly. Bulk import is there for a large portfolio.
Who can see my data?
Every screen and every figure is scoped to the property or organisation you belong to — one owner's portfolio cannot appear in another's, and a manager sees their property alone. PINs are hashed, so nobody at StayOne can read one. The assistant is read-only by construction and lists exactly which screens it consulted for any answer it gives.
What does it cost?
Nothing right now — billing is switched off while StayOne is in early access, and every feature is open to every account. When it starts there are three plans, sized by beds: StayOne Lite up to 50, StayOne Pro up to 100, StayOne Max beyond that. All three include the whole product — a bigger plan buys room, not features.
What happens if I stop using it?
Your data stays yours. Residents, payments and documents can be exported, and residents can already pull their own agreements and receipts out of the app themselves.
Tell us about your PG.
Name, city and how many beds. We set the property up with you, and your manager runs it from the same day — or try the sandbox above first and decide after.
