Your society's gate, dues and helpdesk. One simple app.
The guard logs a visitor, you tap Let in on your phone. Guest codes, daily-help check-ins, maintenance with receipts, notices and amenity bookings, all in the same place. Nothing to install, it runs in the browser.
Log in with your mobile number. The admin sets up in five minutes; residents join with an invite code.
Everything a society needs at the gate and beyond
Built for Indian apartments: works on any phone, speaks in plain words, and asks nothing of your residents except their mobile number.
Visitor approvals
The guard logs who is at the gate, with a photo and vehicle number. The flat gets a buzz and taps Let in, Leave at gate or Deny. No calls, no shouting across the compound.
Guest passes and codes
Pre-approve a guest, a cab or every delivery for the day. Share a 6-digit code or QR on WhatsApp and they walk straight in. Items leaving the society get a pass too.
Daily help and children
Maids, cooks and drivers check in with their own code; you see "In since 8:05". Add your children and the gate tells you the moment one steps out alone.
Maintenance and accounts
Monthly maintenance raised by itself, late fees applied, UPI payment in one tap and a numbered receipt. Residents see collections and expenses month by month.
Helpdesk
Raise a leak, a lift fault or a parking issue with a photo. The committee assigns it, replies, and closes it. You rate how it went and can reopen if the problem comes back.
Notices, polls and documents
Pinned notices, elections and surveys, bye-laws and AGM minutes, all where every resident can find them. Discussions and a buy-and-sell board keep the society talking.
Amenities
Book the gym, pool or party hall by the slot. Capacity per slot, paid bookings that land in your dues, and closures for cleaning days.
SOS and emergency
One red button alerts every guard and admin with your flat number. Emergency contacts and the on-duty guard's number are a tap away.
Gate report
Admins see each day at a glance: guard shifts, visitors by type, how fast flats answered, vehicles in and out, and any SOS.
Running in an afternoon
The admin sets up the society
Log in with your number, name the society, add the flats. You get an invite code to share on the residents' WhatsApp group.
Residents and guards join
Residents pick their flat and wait for a tap of approval. Guards are added by phone number and get a gate screen that works on any phone or tablet.
The gate goes quiet
Visitors are approved from the sofa, daily help checks in with a code, and dues, notices and bookings stop living in six different WhatsApp groups.

Free for every society, for now
All of it. No per-flat fee, no trial, no card. We are building this with the first societies that use it, and that is the only thing we ask: tell us what is missing.
Set up my societyCommon questions
Do residents need to install anything?
No. GateWatchman opens in the phone's browser. Anyone who wants an icon can tap "Add to Home screen" and it behaves like an app, with notifications.
How do people log in?
With their mobile number and a one-time code. No passwords, no email.
Do we need a guard for it to work?
No. Small buildings without a guard still get passes, dues, notices, helpdesk and amenities. An admin can run the gate screen when needed.
Who can see our data?
Only members of your society, and only what their role allows. A flat sees its own visitors and dues; the committee sees the society's. Visitor records are kept for 90 days and then cleared.
Is it really free?
Yes, every feature, for every society, for now. If that ever changes, the societies already using it will hear from us first and well in advance.
Can we move from another app?
Yes. Set up flats and share the invite code; residents join in a minute. If you have a flat list in a spreadsheet, send it to us and we will load it.
