Buurt community

About this app

Buurt is the everyday app for South African residential estates, security villages, and gated developments. It brings everything your community needs into one private, calm place. WHAT YOU GET • Chat — Talk to your neighbours in dedicated channels. Residents, trustees, and security each have their own space. • Panic alerts — Tap once when you need help. Your location goes straight to estate security and nearby responders. • Notices — Stay informed with newspaper-style community notices from your trustees and managing agent. • Book facilities — Reserve the clubhouse, tennis court, or braai area with a few taps. • Report issues — Submit potholes, broken lights, or maintenance problems with a photo and GPS pin. Track progress in real time. • Market & Ads — Buy, sell, and recommend services from neighbours. Reviewed by management. • Documents — Estate rules, MOI, fines, and FAQs always at your fingertips. • Liftclub — Coordinate lifts with neighbours. • Service register — Trusted local providers, rated by your community. • Ask Buurt — An AI assistant that actually knows your estate. Ask anything in plain language. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Every Buurt community is private. Only verified residents of your estate can see what's posted. Biometric login. POPIA-compliant. FOR TRUSTEES AND MANAGEMENT Trustees, managing agents, and security operators get a powerful admin toolkit — issue tracking, registration approvals, advert moderation, role-based notifications, and a full web admin panel. WHY BUURT Buurt replaces a tangle of WhatsApp groups, spreadsheets, and forgotten emails with a single app designed for community life. We ship every fortnight, based on feedback from real residents and trustees. ABOUT US Buurt is built by Buurt Solutions (Pty) Ltd, a proudly South African company based in Pretoria. We build tools that bring South African communities closer together. Better together.

CHAT, REDESIGNED Every channel now has its own colour, unread conversations stand out at a glance, and it's easier to see who's talking. SAFER, QUIETER COMMUNITY You can now report a chat message or a gallery photo for your estate admins to review, and block a resident whose posts you'd rather not see. Blocking is private — they're never told — and you can undo it any time under Profile › Blocked Residents. SEE WHAT'S NEW WITHOUT HUNTING Home tiles now show a count when there are new photos, wildlife sightings or listings waiting for you. ENVIRONMENT Tap any game or invasive-plant photo to view it full screen. Wildlife identification is more careful too — when we can't confirm something is harmless, we now say so instead of guessing. YOUR ESTATE TEAM Meet the trustees, management and security team, and find the estate office address and number, all under Contacts. FOR ADMINS AND TRUSTEES The Admin Portal opens on an estate dashboard with priorities, registrations and packages. Bookings now show the next 7 days rather than just today, and new Service Register listings can be approved straight from your phone. Plus a refreshed privacy policy and the usual round of fixes.

Momentum comes from crawler snapshots for the tracked storefront. “Viral growth signal” means unusually fast recent rating gains; it is an indicator, not download data.
