# Turnover is done. Now prove to yourself the back door got locked.

> Airbnb and short-term rental hosts can use One Loop on their own iPhone to photograph the locks, thermostat, stove and windows during each turnover walk-through. Every photo is timestamped and kept inside the app. One Loop works on a single device with no sharing, so it serves as the host's own record rather than a guest-facing tool.

You've stripped the beds, restocked the coffee and wiped down the counters. You're driving to the next property when you start to wonder whether the thermostat got turned back down, or whether the sliding door actually latched.

Running a short-term rental means doing the same closing walk-through over and over, often between other jobs. A photo taken at each stop of that walk-through gives you something to check later instead of driving back. One Loop does this on the host's own phone.

## What gets in the way

- **The same walk-through, every turnover.** When you've closed up the same unit forty times, each visit blends into the last. Was the stove check today, or last Thursday?
- **Several properties, several setups.** One place has a keypad, another a deadbolt and a sliding door. Different thermostats, different stoves. That's a lot of small checks to keep straight.
- **Problems surface days later.** A high energy bill or a door found unlocked by the next guest can show up long after you left. It helps to know what state you left things in.

## How One Loop helps

- **Timestamped photos of each check.** Snap the locked door, the thermostat setting and the stove knobs before you leave. Each photo is saved with the date and time, inside the app and out of your camera roll.
- **A custom Loop per property.** Name Loops by unit, like "Lake house back door" or "Unit 2 thermostat," and pick from 32 icons so they're easy to spot.
- **History you can scroll.** Each Loop shows when it was last closed, with the photo attached. You can see at a glance what you checked at the most recent turnover.

## Loops to start with

- **Front door locked** (Camera): A photo of the deadbolt or keypad lock is the first thing you'll want if the next guest says it was open.
- **Thermostat reset** (Camera): Shows the temperature you left it at, which helps when an energy bill looks off.
- **Stove off** (Camera): Guests cook. A close-up of the knobs confirms they're all off.
- **Windows and patio door** (Camera): Sliding doors often look closed when they aren't latched.
- **Lockbox keys returned** (Camera): A quick photo of the keys back in the box before you close it.

## An honest note

One Loop runs on one device and has no sharing, so guests and co-hosts can't see your records, and a cleaner can only use it if they're using your phone. It isn't a property management system and doesn't connect to locks or thermostats. Think of it as your own photo log of the walk-through.

## Questions people ask

### Can my cleaner use One Loop to send me turnover photos?

Not from their own phone. One Loop has no sharing or sync, so records stay on the device where they were made. It works best as the host's personal walk-through log.

### Can guests see the checklist or photos?

No. One Loop has no guest-facing features. Everything stays on your phone.

### Does One Loop connect to smart locks or thermostats?

No. It doesn't control or read any devices. You take the photo, and it keeps the timestamp.

### What should an Airbnb turnover checklist include?

At minimum: all doors and windows locked, stove and oven off, thermostat set, lights off, trash out and keys returned. Photograph the items you'd want proof of later.
