A title is enough
Give it to someone, or leave it open so whoever gets there first takes it.
No setup, no admin panel, no training the house. You bring the people you already live with.
A room is a home. Name it, pick a colour, and it exists. Everything inside it stays inside it: its own list, its own people, its own history.
Six characters is the whole invite. Text it, read it out, or let people scan the QR. Turn on approvals if you would rather check who comes in.
Two taps. The plus, then the title. Who it is for, when it is due and which kind of job it is are all optional, and you can add them later or never.
That is the whole setup. Everything after this is the house using it.
Tasks, house notices and polls arrive in the same place, in the order they happened. Nothing is filed in a tab nobody opens.
A parent invites a child by showing a QR code on their own phone. The child signs in with a four digit PIN they choose together. We never ask a child for an email address or a phone number, and we never store a photograph of one.
Child accounts need an active Pro subscription, and a parent gives permission before the account is created.
Read how we handle children's dataEverything a house needs to run is free. Pro is for people who want the history to go back further, the reports to prove it, and children on the list.
No card. Nothing expires.
Per person. 30 day free trial on both.
$6.99 a month or $62.99 a year, once your student status is verified. Verification is handled by a specialist service, so we never see or keep your student ID.
Pro is per person, not per house. Four flatmates who all want Pro pay four times, and a house where only one person wants reports pays once. Prices shown in US dollars, and your store may charge the local equivalent. Subscriptions renew until you cancel them in the App Store.

Their open tasks go back to the room so nothing quietly disappears, and the history stays. Their past entries show as a former member. If they set the room up, admin passes to someone else, because a room is never left without one.
Nothing happens. A task nobody got to is marked missing, in words, and doing it afterwards still counts as done. No red badges, no penalty, no mark against anyone.
No. Everyone can use Housemates free. Pro is per person, so one person can have reports, unlimited history and child accounts while the rest of the house carries on free.
Only the people in it. Rooms do not overlap, and nothing you write in one appears in another.
In your App Store subscription settings, not here, because the store holds the subscription. Cancelling stops the next payment and Pro stays on until the period you paid for ends.
Yes, in the app, and it happens immediately. Deletion is permanent and there is no recovery, so take a room export first if you want a copy. Your past tasks stay in your rooms as a former member so the house history is not torn apart.
