About us
Founded in 2014, ButterflyMX simplifies access and security for 20,000+ properties.
We’re on a mission to improve the safety, experience, and operations of the places where people live, work, and visit.
About us
In 2014, Cyrus Claffey set out to improve the safety, experience, and operations of the places where people live, work, and visit. He saw an opportunity to use the power and convenience of smartphones to make property access simple.
Since then, ButterflyMX has evolved from a video intercom into a unified property access and security platform. Today, our platform brings together video intercoms, access control, security cameras, keypads, vehicle access, package rooms, smart locks, elevator controls, visitor management, and more — giving property teams one system to manage access and security across their entire property.
ButterflyMX helps owners and operators manage access remotely, strengthen security, simplify operations, and deliver a seamless experience for residents, tenants, visitors, staff, and vendors. By integrating with the property management, access control, smart lock, and other systems properties already use, ButterflyMX helps automate everyday workflows such as move-ins and move-outs, visitor access, package management, and self-guided tours.
Today, more than 20,000 properties use ButterflyMX to simplify operations, improve the property experience, and make access secure.
“We saw an opportunity to reinvent property access around the smartphone, giving people the freedom to see who’s at the door and let them in from anywhere in the world.”
Our values

WE ARE TENACIOUS
WE SPEAK UP

“Since creating the smart video intercom in 2014, our focus has remained the same: making life easier for the people who own, operate, and experience properties. Today, our unified access and security platform helps owners, managers, staff, residents, and visitors move through properties more simply and securely.”
Our team
Our team includes 300+ talented people across the United States, Canada, and Europe, including engineers, designers, customer success professionals, salespeople, and marketers. Together, we build the hardware and software that power ButterflyMX’s unified property access and security platform — helping properties automate access, operations, and security from a single system.
With four offices worldwide, including our global headquarters in New York City, our Canadian headquarters in Toronto, and our European headquarters in Croatia, ButterflyMX combines a distributed team with a shared mission: to make properties safe, simple, and easy to operate.
