Because every visit goes better when everyone knows who to call.

“Does anyone have the plumber’s number?”

“Try the guy Dad used last year.”

“Wait — is that the same one who fixed the pump?”

“Didn’t Mom have his card somewhere? Arghh … ”

Have you been in this situation?

If your family shares a treasured getaway spot — like a ranch, lake, or river place, chances are you have.

When something needs attention at a remote family property, critical contact information may be scattered who knows where — or living in just one person’s memory.

A business card tucked in a drawer.

A phone number scribbled on a notepad.

A contact saved in one family member’s phone.

And when that person isn’t available? Everyone else is left guessing.

‍

Family conflicts aren’t really about phone numbers …

It’s confidence. When different family members gather at a shared property, things inevitably come up:

A faucet leaks.

A vehicle won’t start.

A storm knocks something loose.

In those moments, the people at the property need to know what to do.

But when the right contacts aren’t easy to find, small problems quickly become stressful ones.

What’s so special about Backporch contacts?

It’s the sharing that makes everything easier.

Instead of relying on scattered notes or one person’s memory, your circle can store all the important contacts for the property in one organized place.

In the app, the Contacts icon appears at the bottom of the screen. It’s easy to add the people and places your family relies on most — either from scratch or right from your phone’s contacts.

Your Backporch contact list might include:

• Neighbors who keep an eye on the property
• Local friends who know the area
• The plumber or mechanic your family trusts
• The cleaner or service company you prefer
• The closest grocery, gas, or hardware stores
• Emergency services like medical, fire, police, lake authority, or park staff

Now, everyone who visits your family property knows exactly who to call if something comes up.

‍

More confidence, less stress for all

Family places work best when everyone feels empowered to do the right thing, even when things go wrong.

When the right contacts are visible and shared, people don’t have to rely on the “property expert” to solve every problem. They can take action themselves.

A sibling can call the cleaner.

A cousin can contact the mechanic.

A friend of the family can find the nearest hardware store.

Instead of panicked texts and phone calls, your circle has the information they need at their fingertips.

It’s a small upgrade that builds something powerful: confidence.

And if you happen to be the property expert for your family circle? Backporch contacts are your friend. Key contacts for problem-solving don’t just  live in just one person’s head anymore.

They live in the shared system your whole circle can access.

That means fewer emergency texts, fewer late-night phone calls, and fewer moments when you feel like the only one who knows how things work.

Instead, everyone has the tools to succeed.

Take it one step at a time on Backporch

Backporch lets you get as organized as you want to be.

When you first set up your property, add a few key contacts — maybe the neighbor, the plumber, and the nearest grocery store.

Over time, your circle can add more together.

Soon, every visit becomes easier because everyone knows who to call and where to go.

Shared knowledge makes shared shared family places run smoother, and the families that share them get stronger.
