Everyday use
Your phone is the key - and the intercom
OpenApp is for the people who actually open doors every day: residents, homeowners, and neighbors. Open a parking gate, respond when someone is at the door, and send a guest a time-limited link - without needing a separate app from each hardware vendor at the same site.
OpenApp is ingress-only software, not a listed fire or escape-door system. Occupants must be able to exit without a phone or the cloud. Compliance

Respond to visitors
When someone arrives at a lobby or entrance, the call can come to your phone so you can see, speak, and open remotely.
Invite guests with a link
Share a link for a cleaner, delivery, or family visit - no app install required for the guest.
FAQ
- Do guests need the OpenApp app?
- Usually no. Guest links open from the phone. Residents who want native visitor calls install the intercom app.

- Yes. Many homes, tinkerers, and DIY enthusiasts use Shelly relays, Home Assistant, a Tasmota ESP32 board, or existing PalGate gates. See the private home page.
