The Portun mobile app is available on both iOS and Android, giving residents complete control over their visitor access from anywhere. Whether you are at home, at work, or traveling, managing who enters your community is just a tap away.
How It Works for Residents
Creating a visitor pass is simple. Open the app, tap “Add Visitor,” enter your guest’s name and contact info, and Portun generates a unique QR code instantly. You can share it directly via WhatsApp, SMS, or email — your visitor does not need to download any app.
When your visitor arrives at the gate, the guard scans the QR code and the system validates it in real time. You get a push notification confirming your guest has arrived.
Key Mobile Features
- One-Tap Visitor Creation: Generate QR access codes for guests in under 10 seconds.
- Visitor History: See a complete list of all visitors you have invited, with status and entry times.
- Real-time Alerts: Push notifications when your visitor checks in at the gate.
- Multiple Access Types: Create one-time codes, recurring access for regular visitors, or time-limited passes.
- Gate Control: If your community has Shelly-connected gates, open them directly from the app.
For Guards
Guards use the Portun app as their scanning station. Point the camera at the QR code, and the system instantly validates whether the visitor is authorized. The guard sees the resident’s name, the visitor’s name, and any special instructions. Every scan is logged with a timestamp and photo for the audit trail.
Offline Capability
The app caches essential data so guards can still validate visitors even with intermittent connectivity. Data syncs automatically when the connection is restored.
