FlatFlow — Manage Your Home Together Living with flatmates should be easy. Instead, it's awkward texts about overdue rent, arguments over whose turn it is to clean, someone hogging the washing machine for hours, and a shopping list that lives in three different group chats. FlatFlow fixes all of that. It's one shared app for your entire household — bills, chores, laundry, reminders, announcements, and more. Everyone's on the same page, without anyone having to be the nag. NUDGE — WITHOUT THE AWKWARDNESS This is the feature every flatmate needs. Need to remind someone about the dishes, the trash, the noise, or the laundry they left in the machine? Send a Nudge — a gentle, targeted reminder straight to their phone. Pick a category, choose who it's for, and send it anonymously if you'd rather not own it. No passive-aggressive notes. No group chat drama. Just a nudge. STOP CHASING PEOPLE FOR MONEY Split every bill fairly — rent, electricity, gas, water, internet, groceries, subscriptions, and more. Choose equal splits, custom amounts, or itemised breakdowns. Upload receipts straight from your camera roll or files. FlatFlow tracks who's paid and who hasn't, so you don't have to. Recurring bills are available on Plus. END THE CHORE ARGUMENTS Set up fair, rotating chore schedules for your whole household. Daily, weekly, biweekly, or monthly — FlatFlow handles the rotation automatically and sends everyone reminders when it's their turn. No more "I didn't know it was my week." KNOW WHO'S ON THE WASHING MACHINE Ever gone to do laundry only to find the machine already in use? Log your laundry sessions in real time so everyone can see what's running and for how long. Plus members can book slots in advance — no more clashes. HEADS UP — KEEP EVERYONE IN THE LOOP Need to let the house know something? Post a Heads Up — a pinned announcement on the shared dashboard. Set it to auto-expire when it's no longer relevant. "Have an interview at 1pm, please keep it down." "Friends coming over at 9pm — sorry for the noise in advance." Everyone sees it the moment they open the app. TRACK MAINTENANCE ISSUES Something broken in the flat? Log it with a priority level and track it from open to resolved. Every flatmate can see what's being dealt with and what still needs attention. ONE SHARED SHOPPING LIST Add items as you think of them, tick them off as you shop, and notify your flatmates when it's time for a top-up. No more arriving home to an empty fridge because nobody knew what was needed. A SHARED CALENDAR FOR HOUSEHOLD LIFE See bills, chore schedules, and maintenance deadlines all in one monthly view. Add custom events for birthdays, parties, inspections, or flat meetings. Never get caught off guard. EVERYTHING AT A GLANCE Your dashboard gives you a live snapshot — outstanding bills, today's tasks, active laundry sessions, pending nudges, and any Heads Ups from your flatmates. Priority tasks are colour-coded: overdue in red, due today in orange, this week in blue.

EVERYTHING YOUR HOME NEEDS, IN ONE PLACE. Your home runs on a hundred little details — when the AC was last serviced, where you stashed the holiday boxes, which paint is on the living-room wall, how much the remodel really cost. HomeMap keeps every one of them in a single, beautifully designed app, so nothing slips through the cracks again. Whether you manage one home or several, HomeMap is your command center for everything under your roof — and everyone who helps you run it. Multiple Properties: Set up each home with its floors and rooms in seconds. Switch between properties instantly — every home stays completely separate so your beach house never mixes with your apartment. MY STUFF - KNOW WHERE EVERYTHING IS Catalog your belongings room by room, home by home. Point the camera at any item and the AI identifies the brand, model, and category and saves it to its room — the fastest way to build your home inventory. Forgot where you put something? Just search "Where is my…" and HomeMap tells you the exact room — across every floor and every home. RECEIPTS: Snap a photo and let HomeMap read the vendor, total, card, and category for you. Watch your spending by category, get a tax-ready estimate, and export everything to PDF or CSV in a tap. Tax season just got easy. TASKS: Create tasks with priorities and clear status. Assign them to household members or share the view, set due dates, attach photos and files, and follow every update in one place. DELIVERY: Live tracking timeline - Track packages from ordered to delivered with automatic carrier detection, no more switching between apps to check when your package is coming. A COMPLETE SERVICE & MAINTENANCE HISTORY Log every visit — HVAC, plumbing, electrical, landscaping, cleaning, repairs and more — with dates, notes, and attachments. The Appliances tracker identifies your equipment from a photo, watches warranties from the install date, and builds maintenance schedules backed by cited sources. Reminders make sure the important upkeep never gets forgotten. DECOR & DETAILS Keep your paint colors, brands, finishes, and room details on hand for every touch-up and renovation. SHOPPING LISTS Build color-coded lists, check items off as you go, and share them so the whole household stays in sync. A SECURE DOCUMENT VAULT Store warranties, insurance, inspections, manuals, and more — organized with custom categories, icons, and colors, with photos and files attached. YOUR HOME CONTACTS Keep every plumber, electrician, cleaner, and handyman a tap away — call or email straight from the app. COLLABORATION: Invite family, roommates, or staff and share exactly what you choose. Granular owner / full / view permissions keep everyone on the same page, and notifications keep your whole household in the loop. DESIGNED TO BE A JOY A clean, modern dark interface with smooth animations throughout. Works on iPhone and iPad, syncs across your devices, and speaks 6 languages: English, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil), Chinese (Simplified), Russian, and Japanese. HomeMap replaces scattered notes, spreadsheets, and shoeboxes of receipts with one organized app. Take control of your home today. — Free to start. Premium unlocks Tasks, My Stuff, Decor, real-time delivery tracking, and collaboration. Pro adds Receipts, Appliances, and AI features. 7-day free trial of Pro.
