Prop rental is an asset-based appointment business—instead of booking a person's time slot, you are locking down an asset's availability window. PROP HOUSE // LEDGER turns a prop inquiry into a confirmed, deposit-locked booking without email back-and-forth. It covers both the front door (check availability, swap conflicts, sign off, deposit) and the follow-through (return timers, overdue reminders, auto-resolve). Built for a solo Detroit prop house (100 objects, 7am to 7pm pulls, 48-hour night-shoot notice) that was losing hours to double-bookings, no-shows and late-return chasing. Ledger swaps conflicts and keeps every return on schedule. Build the scene. Not a cart.

A prop rental tool for film sets. Art directors plan their props on a visual grid, and owners keep every rental on schedule from one dashboard.

The problem--

A double-booked prop can stall a shoot. Most rental sites work like online shops, with a cart and a long email thread for every change.

What it does--

-Plan on a grid. Drag(or click) cutout props onto the Staging Floor and see rates add up as you go. No login is needed, and your scene saves in your browser.

-Swap conflicts instantly. If a prop is already booked for your dates, Ledger suggests an available archival substitute in the same category. You sign off on a quick waiver and the deposit is locked in.

-Sync across devices. Sign in and your manifest follows you, connected to the owner's records.

-Run the whole rental in one place. The Owner Ledger shows active sets, live return countdowns and late fees. Press [ AUTO-RESOLVE ALL ] to clear collisions and send overdue reminders.

Everything above works without an account, including Sandbox Mode for the Owner Ledger. Drag-and-drop (or click), rate and deposit math, substitute matching and status changes (ON SET → RETURNED) all persist between sessions.

Demo note: checkout uses a sample deposit slip with an email field for production notices and doesn't charge a real card. [ AUTO-RESOLVE ALL ] records timestamped "reminder sent" stamps in the ledger as a stand-in for dispatch webhooks. "The Mail Reminder" button opens a pre-filled draft that the owner sends from their own email app.

cool design 🙌

The AI handles all routing automatically.

Thus, manual appointment creation is an edge case, something that happens when a specific customer request or exception requires human intervention.

When that happens, the system surfaces available technicians ranked by fit and shows how much distance and time the appointment adds to their route for that day. The manager picks from a ranked list rather than guessing.

The typography and color choices were made with one thing in mind: the platform needs to feel embedded in whatever system the client is already using rather than standing out as something foreign. We kept everything deliberately neutral.

Light and dark mode both follow the user's system preference automatically.
