## What is Housey?

Whose turn is it to clean? Who still owes for the groceries? Put it in Housey so nobody has to scroll through the group chat to find out.

Made for college roommates and anyone sharing a house or apartment. Pick cleaning days, split shared bills and message each other in one app.

PICK A DAY YOU CAN ACTUALLY DO
Claim an available cleaning day around classes or work. Check off the kitchen, bathroom and other shared rooms as you finish. Everyone can see what's done, what's partly finished and which turns were missed.

CLEANED EXTRA? LOG IT.
Took out the trash even though it wasn't your turn? Add a quick clean with a note, room and optional photo. Extra jobs show up alongside scheduled turns on the house scoreboard.

SPLIT THE BILL
Add groceries, supplies or another shared bill in US dollars. Choose who's splitting it and Housey works out equal shares. See who still owes, who marked their payment sent and whose payment has been confirmed.

Pay each other through Venmo, Zelle, PayPal, cash or whatever method you agree on. You can save payment details in Housey so your roommates know where to send money. Housey records your updates. It does not transfer money or check your bank account.

TEXT THE HOUSE
Ask about a cleaning swap, send a photo or reply to a specific message. React with an emoji, see who's online and check which messages have been read. Chat messages and photos are removed after 12 months (365 days).

SAVE THE WI-FI PASSWORD
Keep your house address, Wi-Fi details and house rules together. Copy what you need instead of asking again. Hosts can give trusted roommates permission to update the house info.

CHECK THE HOUSE UPDATES
See cleaning progress, quick cleans, payment updates and house changes in the activity center. Related updates are grouped together, and important house changes also appear in chat.

ONE PERSON SUBSCRIBES. ROOMMATES JOIN FREE.
The person who creates the house pays for the subscription and invites everyone else with a house code. Invited roommates join that house free. Choose monthly or annual billing in the app.

Subscriptions renew automatically unless canceled; manage or cancel them in your Apple account settings.

### 5/5 — The best app to communicate with roommates

*2026-08-28*

I love this app. Communication with my roommates was always very complicated, we could not decide when each of us cleans shared space because we could not organize it by ourselves. With this app now it is so much easier we just claim the day and do our job, also chatting with the roommates there is a cool feature. I would also like to be able to attach images to chat but overall it is perfect!

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.2.3 — 2026-10-03

Requested by our closed-beta testers: you can now edit an expense after adding it. Change the title, the amount or who's splitting it, even after someone has paid. Housey recalculates the equal split, asks for any difference and shows who should get a refund, and the roommate confirms when it arrives. An expense nobody has paid yet can be deleted.

Also in this update:
• Pay or refund with prefilled Venmo or PayPal links when your roommate has added them.
• A smoother photo picker for profile and house cover photos.
• The newest chat message opens its menu again.
• On Android, Back closes the message menu.

Thank you to everyone testing Housey and sharing feedback.

### 1.2.2 — 2026-09-27

Requested by our closed-beta testers: you can now add a new roommate to an existing unpaid bill. Preview the new equal split before saving. Bills with a reported or confirmed payment stay locked.

Also in this update:
• Improved chat keyboard handling when you first open the app.
• Better spacing in Updates, including the notification card and filters.
• Open chat photo choices without closing the keyboard or collapsing your draft.
• Home screen widgets show today's cleaning or who's next.
• Long-press Housey to log a quick clean, add an expense or open chat.
• Follow your cleaning progress with a Live Activity on supported iPhones.
• A weekly house recap shows what everyone cleaned.

Thank you to everyone testing Housey and sharing feedback.
