What's new in TeckOS
— most weeks.

It's been quiet here since July. That's because we spent the summer on the hardest part of TeckOS: the accounting engine underneath it.

Why the engine comes first

Most property software asks you to keep books: categorize transactions, reconcile by hand, and hope the year-end numbers hold up. We think books shouldn't be kept at all — they should be derived from the evidence you already have (leases, bank activity, rent-platform exports, lender statements) plus the few decisions only you can make, with every number traceable back to its source and the decision that shaped it. Get that right and daily accounting, year-end tax and forecasts all come from the same place.

We've already done it for real

Before asking anyone else to trust the engine, we ran it on our customer zero: the founder's own rental portfolio, built and operated over more than a decade. Working from the raw evidence — leases, bank activity, rent-platform exports, lender statements — we reconstructed the rental income and expenses on its filed 2024 tax return and prepared them for its 2025 return, with every figure traced back to the document or recorded decision behind it. Where a document didn't settle something — a shared insurance premium, a refund — the decision was recorded once and never asked again.

That run was guided by us. The next step is putting it in your hands inside the product: guided onboarding first, then books and tax.

What that took

• Every source kept exactly as received, so any figure can be traced back to the document it came from.
• Decisions as first-class records — made once, applied everywhere, never re-asked.
• Reconciliation with no fudge factors — money either ties out or shows up as explicitly unresolved.
• Actual and projected kept structurally apart, so a forecast can never leak into your real books.

Live now

• Rent that collects itself — autopay, split payments for roommates, deposited under your own name.
• Your bank and your rent platform, matched — link your bank, import your rent-platform history, and payments land on the right lease and the right month, across renewals and roster changes.
• Security deposits tracked per tenant, recorded from the bank deposit once you confirm it.

Coming up

• Guided onboarding. Upload your leases and exports; the copilot rebuilds your tenancy history, finds the gaps, and asks you only what the documents can't answer — until everything ties out to your bank. The completeness checks underneath it are already built.
• Books and tax, derived in the product, from the same engine we've been proving all summer.

We're inviting design partners

If you run a small portfolio and want hands-on onboarding, early access and a real say in what we build next, request a spot.

There's now a copilot at your fingertips on every screen — docked on the right on desktop, a swipe up on mobile. Ask it anything about your portfolio in plain English and get an answer straight from your live books, no hunting through reports.

You can now

• Ask how any month is doing. "How much rent was billed in June?" "What did we collect this month?" — answered from your actual ledger, billed vs. collected, down to the property.
• Find out who's behind. "Who's late on rent?" surfaces the tenants and the amounts without opening a single report.
• Check portfolio health at a glance. Occupancy, recurring revenue, what's still outstanding — just ask.
• See what needs attention. Open maintenance, vacant units, upcoming lease expirations — pulled on request.

Coming up

A copilot that doesn't just answer but acts — drafting the rent increase, sending the renewal, flagging the anomaly — always showing you exactly what it'll do before it does it.

The rent you're owed now arrives on its own — pulled straight from your tenants' banks, deposited under your own name, and free with autopay.

You can now

• Collect rent automatically. Tenants set up autopay once and rent pulls on its own, by bank transfer, deposited under your own name. When a unit is shared, every roommate can pay their own portion separately — no one fronting the whole rent and chasing the others to square up.
• TeckOS sponsors one transfer per month on every lease — so it's free for a single tenant, and splitting rent is subsidized for roommates, no markups ever. A payment experience that feels fair is what gets tenants to actually turn autopay on.
• See where each month stands at a glance. Track what's been paid, what's pending, and what's settled across your units — so collecting rent is something you watch happen, not something you have to do.

Coming up

Lease renewals and amendments you can generate and send for signature — drafted from what TeckOS already knows about each unit, ready for a signature instead of a blank document.

Upload them in bulk and TeckOS reads, sorts, and makes sense of every one — so you don't have to.

You can now

• Move your whole book of leases over in bulk. Upload a pile of documents — current leases, renewals, and amendments, all mixed together — and TeckOS sorts them out: it reads each one, works out whether it's an original lease, a renewal, or an amendment, and links them into the right history for each unit. No one-at-a-time data entry, and it won't file the same document twice.
• Get every lease read for you. For each lease, TeckOS pulls out the terms that actually matter — rent, dates, deposit, the key policies — and flags anything that looks off or doesn't add up, so answering "what does this lease actually say?" is a glance, not a PDF hunt.
• See your whole portfolio at once. Across every property and lease, get a single read on what you're holding — what's expiring, what needs attention — instead of a drawer full of documents you have to open one by one.

Coming up

Rent that collects itself — paid by bank transfer, split fairly across roommates, and deposited under your own name. In final testing now.
