For our 6.0 release, we have focused relentlessly on making the entire TIDY app faster, more polished, and significantly easier to use. Property Managers have told us time and time again that speed and simplicity matter to them. While previous releases brought substantial improvements, TIDY 6.0 takes a massive leap forward. We've listened to your feedback and re-engineered core experiences to ensure you can manage your properties efficiently, take actions with fewer steps, and get started with powerful features more easily. TIDY is so powerful and helpful, that making it even easier to use was a huge challenge, one that we are very proud of.
We are excited to announce the launch of TIDY 6.0! In this release, the median time to complete actions has been reduced by an incredible 40%, with even greater improvements for managers handling over 100 properties. This version is all about enhancing your ability to see what's happening across your properties and act swiftly.
Key Highlights of TIDY 6.0:
- Speed & Efficiency: Experience a significantly faster app, with median action completion times reduced by 40%. Many common actions now require fewer clicks, streamlining your workflow.
- Enhanced Ease of Use: We've made it much simpler to get started with our powerful features, including automating turnovers, restocking & inventory management, and more.
- Polished Design: A fresh, intuitive design makes navigating the app and understanding how to perform tasks easier than ever before.
- Improved Information Density: See more of what's happening across all your properties at a glance, with more detailed statuses and clear visual cues.
Powerful New Integrations
TIDY 6.0 significantly enhances how you connect with your other essential tools. We have improved our integrations so that you can pull in much more data from your sources, including custom fields from Guesty, Hostaway, Smoobu, Ownerrez, and more.
In addition, we are excited to announce beta support for pushing data into your integrations, starting with Guesty and Hostaway. This means more seamless workflows and less manual data entry. If you would like your integration supported for data pushing or have other integration requests, please reach out to us!
Broader International Support
Our global user base is incredibly important to us. With TIDY 6.0, our language support has improved significantly. The app now more natively supports these major languages: English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, German, Italian, Japanese, and Arabic, making TIDY more accessible to teams around the world.
Focusing on You, Building for the Future
In many ways, the biggest changes in TIDY 6.0 are designed to help humans use our software more easily and effectively. This release took a step back from our intense focus on automation to ensure the user experience for people using the software themselves was dramatically better. We've addressed numerous bugs and polished countless interactions to make sure everything is smooth and fast.
We are incredibly proud of this release, but our journey doesn't stop here. Our long-term goal is to completely automate the management of cleaning and maintenance operations by 2027. To achieve this, we need to continuously improve the toolset for managers to observe their properties, understand what is going on, and monitor their human teams, their software, and their Cleaning and Maintenance AIs.
Your feedback is invaluable. If you have any suggestions at all on how we can improve TIDY, please let us know. We are committed to building the best platform for property care and management.

TIDY's Short Term Roadmap
TIDY continues to work to completely automate all cleaning and maintenance management by 2027. The biggest single hurdle is automating communication, particularly voice communication. We expect by the end of 2025 to have the framework in place to monitor and automate all text and voice communication with pros; much of this is already live but improvements are ongoing. We expect by the end of 2025 for you to be able to automate everything, and 2026 through 2027 will focus on polishing things from real-world use.
