A self-hosted property listing website — your listings, your domain, no monthly IDX bill.
Freelancers expense a dozen subscriptions — proposals, contracts, invoices, time tracking — against irregular income. Owning the tools outright removes a whole line of fixed costs.
The tool this job usually means renting is IDX site providers, at $50–300+/mo — roughly $600 a year, every year. Listcraft does the job for a one-time $39 — running on infrastructure you control.
Address, price, beds/baths/sqft, description and active/pending/sold status on premium dark-mode cards.
For freelancers, listings pays off between gigs, against irregular income — and it's covered by the same one-time $39, not metered per month.
Multi-upload with drag-to-reorder, first photo as the cover, stored on your own disk.
For freelancers, photo galleries pays off between gigs, against irregular income — and it's covered by the same one-time $39, not metered per month.
Leaflet and OpenStreetMap bundled locally with no CDN, showing pins on search and every listing.
For freelancers, local maps pays off between gigs, against irregular income — and it's covered by the same one-time $39, not metered per month.
One payment of $39 gets you the packaged Windows installer, or clone the MIT source at github.com/bensblueprints/property-listing-site-mvp and run it free.
Use desktop mode to add listings, photos and agent profiles before you ever touch a server.
Run docker compose up -d on a $5 VPS, point your domain at it, and you have an agent website with leads coming to you.
Listcraft is $39, once. IDX site providers at $50–300+/mo — roughly $600 a year, every year. Listcraft costs less than a single month at the cheap end of an IDX provider — every month after year one is money you keep.

Yes — Listcraft is MIT-licensed at github.com/bensblueprints/property-listing-site-mvp, and it always will be. The $39 buys the packaged, zero-config Windows installer; building from source is free.
You do. Leads go straight to your own inbox, and the SQLite file plus photos live on your disk — nothing is shared or resold.
