# REPSLog

> REPSLog is the hour-tracking app for real estate investors who need a contemporaneous, audit-ready log of their time for Real Estate Professional Status (REPS) or the short-term rental (STR) loophole under U.S. tax law. It runs on iPhone, Android and the web with one synced account, logs entries by typing, voice or AI autofill, pulls guest stays from 25 booking sites and events from Google, Microsoft 365 and device calendars, reads receipts and documents attached as evidence, tracks the 750, 500 and 100-hour tests per year and per property, and exports a CPA-ready PDF and CSV. Made by CarmelTech LLC. 4.9 stars on the App Store.
