Fredy

Self-hosted real estate finder for Europe

Visit Fredy

Fredy is a self-hosted server that monitors property portals for new apartments, houses and flats across Germany, Austria and Switzerland. It stores every listing it finds, removes duplicates so the same property posted on multiple portals arrives only once, and estimates affordability and commute times before delivering results to your chosen notification channel.

A job combines selected portals with notification channels, including Telegram, Slack, Discord, Mattermost, ntfy, Pushover, Apprise, browser push, SMTP providers, HTTP webhooks and SQLite. The dashboard shows search intervals, recent listing counts and portal sources. A household profile feeds affordability checks: the renting tab models cold rent against warm costs, while the buying tab models annuity loans, purchase costs and remaining debt. Commute estimates use transit routing from Transitous and map data from OpenStreetMap, with filters by travel mode and time ceiling. A built-in MCP server exposes jobs and listings to Claude, ChatGPT or local models.

Fredy is packaged as Apache-2.0 licensed software you run yourself, installable via Docker, Node.js or Unraid, with a web UI for configuration. It is intended for individuals or administrators managing their own property searches.
