Getting to know the Minut mobile app

A tour of the app layout, what each section does, and where to find what you need

Written by Ipti Niskala

The Minut mobile app is available on iOS and Android. It is the primary tool for installing sensors, receiving real-time alerts, managing stays, and configuring your rental units on the go. This article walks through every section of the app so you know where to find what you need.

Download on the App Store

Get the app on Google Play

Web app vs mobile app. Some tasks are better suited to the web app at web.minut.com: including plan and billing management, portfolio-wide reports, bulk unit editing, and integrations. Most monitoring, sensor installation, and day-to-day management is done from the mobile app. Both use the same account and stay in sync.

Bottom navigation

The app has five tabs along the bottom of the screen. These are the main sections you’ll navigate between during everyday use.

Dashboard

Properties

Inbox

Tasks

Settings

Live overview of events and alerts

All rental units

Guest messages and conversations

Cleaning and maintenance taks

Organisation, presets and notifications


Dashboard

Your live portfolio overview

First tab: it opens by default when you launch your app.

The Dashboard shows a real-time summary of everything happening across your properties. Any active event; noise alerts, sensor issues, occupancy changes;appear here so you can respond quickly without opening each rental unit individually.

Active events

noise alerts, smoking events, crowd detect, and security alarm triggers currently requiring attention

Device issues

sensors showing as offline or low battery, with a link to each affected unit

To-dos

outstanding actions such as unused prepaid credits and units waiting for sensor installation

Occupancy status

which units currently have guests present based on stay data and motion detection

Tap any item in the Dashboard to open a detailed view of that event or unit. A red dot on a rental unit means there’s an unreviewed event. This clears once you open the unit’s event log.


Properties

All your rental units

Second tab: your full property list.

The Properties tab shows every rental unit in your organisation. At a glance you can see which units have noise monitoring or the security alarm active, and which have unreviewed events (shown with a red dot).

  • Use the search bar at the top to find a specific unit by name

  • Tap the + icon in the upper right to create a new rental unit

  • Tap any unit to open its detail view

If you manage properties across multiple locations or buildings, these groupings are reflected in the Properties list.

Rental unit detail view

Tapping a rental unit opens its detail view: the main control centre for that property. From here you can see live sensor data, manage stays, control monitoring features, and access settings.

What you can do from a rental unit: top any unit in the Properties tab top open this view:

  • Monitoring toggles: turn noise monitoring, crowd detect, smoking detection, and the security alarm on or off with a single tap

  • Live sensor readings: current noise level (dB), temperature, humidity, and occupancy status

  • Event log: full history of all events for this unit, filterable by type

  • Stays:

    • view upcoming and current stays, add stays manually, or connect a booking platform.

    • at the bottom of the unit view to manage

  • Devices: all sensors installed in this unit

  • Unit settings: tap the settings icon in the top right corner

To remove a sensor, tap the device, tap the settings icon, and scroll to Delete sensor.


Inbox

Guest messages and conversations

Third tab: unified messaging across all rental units

The Inbox is where you manage all guest-facing communication. Automated messages triggered by noise events, check-in, and check-out appear here alongside any replies from guests.

  • View all automated messages sent to guests and their replies

  • Send manual messages to current guests directly from the app

  • Filter conversations by rental unit to focus on a specific property

  • Messages sent via the OTA/ PMS integration appear here with the channel label

To configure what automated messages are sent and when, go to the unit settings and tap Guest communication.


Tasks

Cleaning and maintenance task management

Fourth tab: available to all roles

The Tasks tab manages cleaning and maintenance tasks across your portfolio. Tasks can be created manually or triggered automatically for example, a cleaning task generated after every checkout.

  • View all open, in-progress, and completed tasks across your properties

  • Create manual tasks and assign them to a team member

  • Set up automated turnover tasks that trigger at checkout

  • Team members with the Operator role can access Tasks without seeing any sensor data or monitoring features


Settings

Organisation- wide configuration

Fifth tabs- Admin access required for most options

The Settings tab contains all organisation-level configuration - separate from individual rental unit settings. Most options here require Admin access.

  • Organisation: view and edit organisation name, manage members, assign roles, and access Sensor Swap settings

  • Monitoring presets: create and manage noise presets that can be applied across multiple rental units.

  • Notifications: control which types of alerts trigger push notifications on your device and manage notification preferences per rental unit

  • Integrations: connect Airbnb, your PMS, smart locks, and other third-party tools

  • Call Assist: activate or manage the Call Assist add-on for 24/7 noise resolution.
