About

At ButterflyMX, we are at the forefront of revolutionizing property access through groundbreaking technology. Founded in 2014 by Cyrus Claffey, who envisioned a world where smartphones could seamlessly and securely manage entry, we embarked on a mission to transform the traditional intercom system. Recognizing the limitations of existing solutions—restrictive, cumbersome, and expensive—Claffey, alongside Mathew Knoff, Kunal Shah, and Ivan Mihalj, pioneered the world's first smartphone-powered video intercom, launching it in 2015. This innovation marked a significant leap forward, moving beyond outdated hardware and complex wiring to a cloud-based system that offers unparalleled convenience and control. Our journey didn't stop at video intercoms. ButterflyMX has evolved into a comprehensive property access solution provider, offering a suite of products including keypads, key lockers, elevator controls, package rooms, and integrated access controllers. These are all managed through the ButterflyMX OS, a powerful online platform that allows property managers to issue access permissions, review entry logs, and integrate with other building services. We empower residents and building staff to open doors, gates, and elevators with their smartphones, ensuring they never miss a visitor or delivery. Our technology is designed for multifamily, commercial, student housing, and gated communities, simplifying access management, reducing operational costs by eliminating the need for extensive wiring and in-unit hardware, and enhancing security. With a commitment to continuous innovation, ButterflyMX is dedicated to creating smarter, more connected buildings and communities, improving the daily lives of everyone who interacts with the properties we serve.
