Sharing a house shouldn't mean constant friction. HeyFlat takes care of the bills, the chores and the house chat — so you can stop being the flatmate who's always chasing everyone for money. Built by people who share houses in Australia, for people who actually share houses. SPLIT BILLS WITHOUT THE AWKWARDNESS Rent, electricity, internet, groceries. Add any bill and Heyflat splits it automatically between housemates. The reminder comes from the app — not from you. Everyone knows exactly what they owe and when. CHORES NOBODY ARGUES ABOUT Set up the house roster: dishes, bins, bathroom, cleaning. Everyone knows their turn, the app reminds them, and the "I always do everything" argument is over. BECOME HOUSEMATE OF THE MONTH At the end of each month, whoever pulled their weight the most becomes Housemate of the Month — featured right inside the app. Living together gets lighter, and a bit more competitive. HOUSE NOTICES & DECISIONS Plumber coming tomorrow? Need to pick a date for the big clean? Use the house board and polls. Everything in one place. BUILT FOR LIFE HERE PayID payments, available in English, Portuguese and Spanish. We get bond, inspections and the reality of sharing a house far from home. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED AFTER YOUR FREE TRIAL All of the above is free for 30 days for the whole house, no card required. After the trial, continuing to use HeyFlat requires an auto-renewing in-app subscription, shared by the whole house: AU$15/month, AU$81 every 6 months, or AU$150/year. Payment is charged to your Apple ID, and subscriptions auto-renew unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel anytime in Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions. Download it, invite your flatmates, and let your house run itself. Terms of Use: https://heyflat.com.au/termos
