What is Leantime?

Leantime is stabilizing its big 3.9 rewrite while extending cross-project planning and a mobile API

Leantime is deep in a modernization cycle. The 3.9.0 release rebuilt the app around a native, fail-closed permission engine, a JSON-RPC API, and a consolidated Blueprints domain; the releases since then mostly stabilize that foundation. Recent point releases fix regressions (repeated Bearer/PAT auth fixes) while adding cross-project program views and a mobile app backend.

What is RentRedi?

RentRedi turns on-time rent into a portable tenant credential that brings in new landlords.

RentRedi is a property management app for independent landlords and small teams, covering rent collection, maintenance and tenant communication. This week it launched Tenant Certificate, a verified record of on-time rent that renters can send to their next landlord, along with bulk renter's-insurance requirements and an in-app activity timeline for Lessen maintenance jobs.

Leantime vs RentRedi: editorial side-by-side

L6.3

Leantime is stabilizing its big 3.9 rewrite while extending cross-project planning and a mobile API

◆ Current state

Leantime is deep in a modernization cycle. The 3.9.0 release rebuilt the app around a native, fail-closed permission engine, a JSON-RPC API, and a consolidated Blueprints domain; the releases since then mostly stabilize that foundation. Recent point releases fix regressions (repeated Bearer/PAT auth fixes) while adding cross-project program views and a mobile app backend.

◆ Where it's heading

The work is consolidation over expansion: hardening the new auth/permission and API layers, closing security IDORs domain by domain, and building the surface a mobile app and program-level planning need. The steady stream of small patch releases reflects shaking out regressions from the 3.9.0 refactor rather than opening new product directions.

◆ Prediction

Expect continued point releases fixing regressions from the permission-engine and JSON-RPC migration, plus buildout of the Leantime Mobile app now that its Bearer-authenticated backend API is landing.

R7.5

RentRedi turns on-time rent into a portable tenant credential that brings in new landlords.

◆ Current state

RentRedi is a property management app for independent landlords and small teams, covering rent collection, maintenance and tenant communication. This week it launched Tenant Certificate, a verified record of on-time rent that renters can send to their next landlord, along with bulk renter's-insurance requirements and an in-app activity timeline for Lessen maintenance jobs.

◆ Where it's heading

October's releases served landlords with staff: team chat access, payment filters, receipts and dark mode. Tenant Certificate adds a tenant-side growth loop, because landlords who receive a certificate are asked to create a RentRedi account. Maintenance is becoming a hub for partner updates like Lessen's.

◆ Prediction

Expect Tenant Certificate data to feed into screening or applications inside RentRedi, and the read-only Lessen timeline to gain replies.
