# Guest Guide

> Guest Guide is a platform for short-term rental hosts to create beautiful, mobile-friendly digital property guides and share them securely with guests via time-limited sessions.

Hosts create guides that include check-in instructions, WiFi credentials, door codes, amenity details, and house rules — all in one place. Guests access them through a simple link or code, with no app download required.

## How Sharing Works

Guest Guide uses secure, temporary sharing sessions. Hosts create a share session by setting a guest's check-in and check-out dates. The guest receives a link that only works within that date window. Outside of those dates, sensitive content like door codes and WiFi passwords is hidden. This means hosts never have to worry about revoking access — it expires automatically.

## Use Cases

- Airbnb and vacation rental hosts
- Property management companies managing multiple listings
- Hotels and boutique accommodations
- Co-hosting setups where multiple people manage the same property
