What homies Does That Other Roommate Apps Don't

There are apps for splitting bills. Apps for chore tracking. Apps for finding roommates. None of them talk to each other, and none of them were built specifically for the reality of living with people.

homies starts from a different place: shared living is one problem, not four. Everything that matters — who owes what, who did what, what you agreed on, who you’re compatible with — should be in one place the whole house actually uses.

Rent and bills, set once

Most expense apps are built around one-off costs between friends. Roommate expenses are different — they’re recurring, they’re multi-category, and they need to be transparent to everyone in the house.

homies lets you add rent and bills once. They show up automatically each month. Every roommate sees the same running balance, so nobody’s relying on someone else to do the math or remember what was agreed.

Flexible splits — equal, custom, or percentage — because one size doesn’t fit all floors, and the person in the box room shouldn’t pay the same as the person in the en-suite.

The Petty Meter

Chore fights are rarely about chores. They’re about the feeling that things are uneven — that one person’s carrying the house while others coast.

The Petty Meter is a live fairness graph that shows each roommate’s contribution over the week. Chores rotate automatically. Hold-to-complete with a small celebration when you finish. The whole house builds a streak that genuinely hurts to break.

Nobody has to be the person who brings it up. The data speaks for itself.

House agreements in the app

The “we never actually agreed on that” problem comes up in almost every shared living situation, usually at the worst possible time. homies has a dedicated space for house rules — guest policies, cleaning standards, quiet hours — that all roommates can reference and sign off on.

Not a sticky note. Not a buried group chat thread. A document everyone agreed to, attached to the home.

Compatibility-based matching

If you’re still looking for a roommate, homies matches based on real lifestyle factors — sleep schedule, cleanliness habits, guest frequency, noise tolerance, money habits. Not personality type. Not “interests.” The specific things that determine whether two people can actually share a place without it becoming a problem.

One invite link, whole house

homies works when everyone uses it — not just one organized person managing it for the house. The invite link takes sixty seconds to join. Once the house is in, the coordination runs on systems instead of whoever’s willing to keep things in their head.

The goal isn’t to make shared living feel like a workplace. It’s to handle the operational stuff automatically enough that the living part — the actual hanging out, having people over, cooking, being home — doesn’t get overshadowed by who owes $47 for electricity.
