Why roommate apps fail.
Most apps for roommates are digital sticky notes. They let you assign chores and split bills — but when someone ignores the assignment or disputes the bill, you're back to the same awkward conversation.
The problem isn't tracking. It's accountability.
49% of people living with roommates report conflicts over shared responsibilities. Apps that only track don't solve that. You need a system that enforces — neutrally, automatically, without drama.
Six things no other roommate app does.
AI Arbitration
File a complaint in 30 seconds. AI interviews both sides separately, reviews the evidence, issues a binding decision within 24 hours. 98% acceptance rate because neither side can claim the process was unfair.
Strike Score
Every violation adds points to a Strike Score — late payments, noise complaints, ignored cleaning duties. The score is visible to management. Pattern of behavior documented automatically.
Cleaning schedules
Automated rotation with photo proof required. AI checks photo quality before marking done. No more “I cleaned it” without evidence.
Payment tracking
Track rent and shared expenses with timestamps. See who paid what and when. Screenshot-ready for any dispute.
Supplies & inventory
Request shared supplies through the app. Management notified immediately. No awkward group chat messages.
House rules
Set rules at move-in. Every resident confirms. Every violation documented.
