No design skills needed. Do it on your phone while you walk the unit.

Create your first plan
1 min- Sign up, confirm your email, and tap “+ New floor plan” on your dashboard.
- Rename it to your listing name by tapping the title at the top.
- 2
Measure (optional)
3 min- On an Android phone with Chrome, open “Measure a room”, point at the floor and tap each corner.
- On iPhone, use a tape measure — you'll type nothing, just draw to the grid (each square is 50 cm).

Draw the walls
3 min- Choose Walls, then tap corner to corner. Lengths appear as you go.

Name rooms and add furniture

Cleaning notes for your cleaner
2 min- Tap “Suggest cleaning notes” and StaySketch drafts instructions from your rooms and furniture. Edit, accept or reject each one — nothing is added until you accept.
- Or add your own with Cleaning note and tap where it applies.

Guest info and paths
2 min- Guest info pins mark things like the Wi-Fi code or breaker box.
- Guest path draws a dotted route, e.g. from the front door to the lockbox.

Stage a listing photo
3 min- “Stage a room” → take or upload a photo of an empty room, add furniture, drag/resize/flip, then download.
Common questions
- What happens after my 7-day trial?
- Your plans stay safe and viewable. To keep editing, subscribe for $9/month from Plan & billing. Cancel any time.
- Can my cleaner see my plan without paying?
- Yes. Invite them by email as a viewer, or send a share link. Share links only show guest info, never cleaning notes.
- Does live AR work on iPhone?
- Not yet — iPhone browsers don't support it. Photo staging works on every phone.
- Can I use StaySketch on desktop?
- Yes, everything works in any modern browser. Plans sync instantly between devices and teammates.
