fairsies is how co-owners of a vacation home, ski lease, boat, plane, or fractional residence agree on who gets it when — over text, without a meeting, in about ten days. Your written agreement is the spec. The algorithm runs the draft. You approve once, on your phone.
Every six months, three to fifteen co-owners have to agree on a calendar. The contract calls for a meeting. The meeting never happens on time. So the picks happen in iMessage, in a shared Google Sheet, in a couple of urgent emails, and in one phone call you didn't want to make.
Highlight column. Type 1.0. Hope nobody overwrites it. The disputes always start at Thanksgiving.
Fifth reply-all thread of the week. Three partners, three calendars, two assistants in the cc line, one fully-booked December. The meeting that finally lands is 47 minutes of awkward trading and ends with someone agreeing to "double-check with my wife."
Last cycle took six hours of the operator's time and three of everyone else's. The Christmas trade settled at 1 AM. One partner missed the deadline and got assigned hurricane-season weeks they didn't want. Nobody felt great about it.
You could. It would work. It always works. It would also take six hours, end at midnight, and produce another long-form text thread that nobody can audit when the dispute starts in October.
fairsies is the operator's automated assistant. It runs from a Mac that doesn't sleep, sends from a number co-owners can text back in plain English, and follows the rules your group's actual written agreement already specifies. Schedule II, Section 3 — whatever your contract calls it — is the spec the algorithm runs against.
No app. No login. No portal. Email backup arrives every time for the partner who wants paper.
Every milestone fires as iMessage + email in parallel. Co-owners pick on their phone in about two minutes. The algorithm runs the draft deterministically. The operator approves once. No meeting on the calendar. No assistant chasing a reschedule.
fairsies started with a vacation home. The same algorithm runs against any asset where a small group has to agree on slots. If your group already has a contract and a master sheet, you have everything fairsies needs.
Co-owned beach houses, mountain houses, lake houses. Half-yearly or annual cycles. Christmas and Thanksgiving are the war zones.
4-8 partners on a winter-only lease. MLK and Presidents weekends contested. Sometimes an LLC, sometimes a handshake.
3-10 partners on a yacht or sportfisher. Long weekends and 4th of July are the picks people fight for. Marina-coordinated sometimes.
Flight-hour queues, not weeks. v1.5 — same algorithm shape, hours as the slot unit. Roadmap, not shipped.
W Aspen, Ritz-Carlton, St. Regis, Four Seasons Residence Club. Operator-administered, 30-100+ owners. PVW / SAN. Today: DocuSign + spreadsheets + one human running it all. fairsies replaces that workflow. v1.5.
The ranch with nine cousins. The lake house in the trust. Nobody wants to be the cousin who runs it.
fairsies isn't doing anything novel. It's the first time the cost of each piece dropped low enough to make it worth running.
v1 is concierge-onboarded and free for hand-picked groups in our network. If your partnership has a written agreement and is tired of running picks by hand, send a one-line email and we'll set up a call.
