Mobile gate access
Tenants open the app when they arrive and use approved facility access from their phone, so fewer people get stuck at the gate or call the office for help.
Working prototype · Transport & logistics
Self-Storage Facility app prototype, ready to try before you build.
Explore a working self-storage facility app prototype with mobile gate access, fastest route to the unit, and open unit browsing. Customize it yourself or have Mistflow Studio build the approved screens, style, and flow.
This is a working mobile prototype, not a shipped app. Mistflow can turn it into a native iPhone and Android app after you confirm the screens, platform details, and integrations.
Prototype screenReady to explore
Built for self-storage facility work
The friction this app is designed to remove.
Not a generic app template. This prototype starts with the moments that cost your team time or leave customers waiting.
- Tenants pull up to the gate and call the office because they lost the gate code, forgot which keypad to use, or cannot remember where their unit is.
- People who need a bigger unit have to call during office hours, so you lose upgrades to the facility down the road with online move-ins.
- Late rent notices turn into phone calls, card updates, and manual payment reminders that eat up your manager's morning.
- Shared access gets messy when a tenant gives a gate code to a mover, a family member, or a contractor and you have no clean way to track who should be allowed in.
- Vehicle plates, insurance status, lease details, and unit numbers live in different places, so a simple tenant question takes too long to answer.
Inside the prototype
Specific tools for your self-storage facility.
Keep what fits, change what does not, and add the details that make the workflow yours.
Fastest route to the unit
The app shows the tenant where their unit is and the quickest way to get there from the gate, so move-in day and unloading go smoother.
Open unit browsing
Tenants can compare available unit sizes, features, and monthly prices from the app when they need more space or want to switch units.
Upgrade or add space
A tenant can choose a larger unit or add another unit without waiting for a phone call back during office hours.
Rent payments
Tenants see what is due, pay rent from their phone, and get a clear confirmation so fewer payments turn into front-desk calls.
Autopay and insurance check
Each tenant can confirm whether autopay is on and whether insurance is active, which helps prevent late fees and coverage gaps.
Lease and access details
Tenants can see lease basics, manage authorized users, and keep vehicle plates up to date so access stays controlled and secure.
Your facility on their home screen
The app carries your facility name, colors, and tenant experience. It feels like your storage business, not a generic rental portal.

Example workflows
How it could work day to day.
Use these examples to judge whether the flow matches your business before you commit to building it.
- 01A tenant pulls up with a moving truck, opens UnitKey, uses Facility Access to get through the gate, then follows the fastest route to the right unit row.
- 02A tenant realizes their 5x10 is too small, opens Open Units, compares a climate-controlled 10x10 with a drive-up 10x15, and requests the better fit before leaving the property.
- 03A tenant gets close to rent due date, opens Billing, pays the balance, checks that autopay is turned on, and confirms insurance is active.
- 04A tenant is sending a mover on Saturday, opens Lease & Access, adds an authorized user, enters the mover's vehicle plate, and keeps the account from becoming a shared-code free-for-all.

Straight answers
Self-Storage Facility app pricing, explained.
Choose self-serve if you want control, or Studio if you want Mistflow to take the build from approved prototype to a native iPhone and Android app.
Agency comparison from the industry brief: A custom self-storage tenant app from an agency often runs $20,000 to $75,000 plus maintenance, especially if it includes gate access, rent payments, unit availability, lease details, and authorized users. Quotes vary by scope, platform, and integrations.

Have Mistflow build itBuying questions
Know exactly what you are starting with.
Clear answers about the prototype, the finished build, and your two paths forward.
Is this self-storage facility app finished?
No. The screens on this page are a working prototype: you can explore the flow, but it is not a shipped customer app. The finished app is built after you approve or customize the prototype.
Can I start with this exact prototype?
Yes. Build my version carries this exact prototype into Mistflow, including its screens, style, and flow. You can change it before the finished app is built.
What can I customize for my self-storage facility?
You can change the branding, wording, steps, and features. This prototype currently demonstrates Mobile gate access, Fastest route to the unit, and Open unit browsing, and you can keep, remove, or reshape those parts around the way your business works.
Can tenants manage shared access?
Yes. In the finished app, the Lease & Access screen is built for authorized users, vehicle plates, and account access details, so a tenant can plan a move without handing out a permanent gate code to everyone.
Can I change the app after it is built?
Yes. In the finished app, add a new unit size, change how upgrades work, update lease wording, adjust insurance prompts, or change gate access instructions by asking, the same way you described the app in the first place.
How much does it cost to turn this into a finished app?
For self-serve, you use a Mistflow subscription; current plan prices are listed on the pricing page. Mistflow Studio is a separate $4,900 fixed service for a 14-day native iPhone and Android app build. Scope is confirmed before work starts.
