Track REPS hours from your Gmail inbox

RE:Writeoff connects to Gmail (read-only) and turns property-related emails into IRS-grade activity logs — automatically.

What we capture from your Gmail

  • Maintenance threads with tenants and contractors
  • Vendor invoices and receipts
  • Insurance renewal notices and policy documents
  • Property-management updates and statements
  • Tax-relevant correspondence (HOA, utilities, escrow)

Address types: @gmail.com, Google Workspace custom domains.

Connecting Gmail takes about 2 minutes

  1. 1

    Turn on 2-Step Verification

    Required before app passwords are available. Check 2FA status.

  2. 2

    Open Google App Passwords

    Visit myaccount.google.com/apppasswords and sign in.

  3. 3

    Generate the password

    Enter RE:Writeoff as the app name and click Create. Copy the 16-character password Google shows.

  4. 4

    Paste it into RE:Writeoff

    Back in the connect modal, paste the password into the App password field. Spaces are optional — both abcd efgh… and abcdefgh… work.

What RE:Writeoff doesn't do

  • · Read-only access — we never send, modify, or delete anything in your Gmail
  • · Irrelevant emails are dropped immediately; we only keep what's tied to a deductible activity
  • · Mailbox credentials are encrypted at rest with envelope encryption
  • · You can revoke access from Gmail or from inside RE:Writeoff at any time

Gmail FAQ

Does this work with Google Workspace accounts?

Yes. Personal @gmail.com and Workspace custom-domain accounts both work. Workspace admins may need to enable app passwords for the domain.

Will I see a security warning from Google?

No. Connecting via app password doesn't trigger any "unverified app" prompts — that only applied to OAuth.

Can I disconnect later?

Yes. Revoke the app password from your Google account settings, or disconnect the mailbox in RE:Writeoff. Both immediately stop syncing.
