Product Update - Web for Desktop

LONDON – 27th January 2026 – August, the all-in-one rental app for small landlords, today unveiled its new desktop web experience, giving landlords a faster, clearer way to manage their rentals from any computer, with everything they already use on mobile, now optimised for bigger screens.

August on desktop is built for how landlords actually work day to day. Doing monthly checks at a desk, uploading documents from a laptop, and then picking things up again on a phone when they’re out and about.

Problem

Most rental admin does not happen neatly on a mobile screen. Landlords often find themselves juggling:

• Multiple properties and tenancies that are hard to review quickly on a small display

• Documents stored on a computer (downloads, scans, PDFs, folders) that are awkward to move to a phone

• Monthly reviews and admin sessions that are better suited to a desktop workflow

• Switching between devices and losing context (what they were doing, where they left off)

These realities create friction, slow down admin, and make it harder to stay organised, especially as portfolios grow.

Solution

August now works on desktop, meaning landlords can access their account from any web browser on a computer, with a full-featured experience designed for larger screens and faster portfolio oversight.

You can manage your properties at your desk with better visibility, upload files directly from your computer, and then seamlessly continue on your phone whenever you need to.

Take a look at the new web channel.

Key features

1) Full desktop experience

Everything you use in the app is now available on desktop, laid out for larger screens so it’s easier to review, navigate and get things done efficiently.

2) Built for bigger portfolios

Desktop makes it simpler to manage multiple properties with improved visibility across your whole portfolio, ideal for landlords with more than a handful of tenancies.

3) Upload documents directly

Drag and drop documents from your computer straight into August, making it faster to add key paperwork without emailing files to yourself or moving them between devices.

4) Syncs with your phone

Start something on desktop and pick it up on mobile or the other way round, without losing your place, so August fits around the way you work.

Impact for landlords

With this release, August on desktop is designed to:

• Make rental admin quicker and more comfortable for desk-based workflows

• Improve visibility across larger portfolios

• Reduce friction when uploading and organising documents

• Keep everything in sync across desktop and mobile, so you can manage rentals wherever you are

“Landlord admin can happen at a desk,” said Richard Samuel, CEO of August. “With desktop access, landlords can review their portfolio with more visibility, drag and drop documents straight from their computer, and then seamlessly continue on mobile when they’re on the move. August now works the way landlords actually do.”
