Who owes what is unclear
Rent paid on different days, part payments and people moving in mid-month turn a spreadsheet into guesswork, and awkward conversations follow.

In short
Housemoot is a management app for shared houses and private landlords, by Red Center Studio. It keeps rooms, residents, rent, shared bills, chores, repairs, house rules and documents in one place. Rent charges appear by themselves as each period falls due, shared bills are split by the days each person lived there, and residents see only their own money. It runs in your own Cloudflare account, in any currency, for $99 USD once.
The problem
Spreadsheets and group chats do not run a house.
Bills cause arguments
Splitting the power bill when someone moved in halfway through the quarter takes a calculator and patience, every single time.
Repairs and rules get lost
A message about a dripping tap scrolls away in the chat, house rules live in someone's inbox, and nobody is sure whose turn it is to clean.
How it works
Set it up once, then it keeps track for you.
Add your houses and rooms
Each house, each room with its usual rent, and the people who live there with their rent, how often they pay and their move-in date. Whole houses or flats let to one household work too.
Rent and bills keep themselves
Rent charges appear as each week, fortnight or month falls due. Residents report a payment, you confirm it, and a receipt goes out. Shared bills are split by the days each person lived there, to the cent.
Everyone knows where they stand
Residents see their balance, their bill shares, whose turn it is to clean, and every update on the repairs they reported. You see what is overdue, what needs fixing and what is coming up.
Screens
What owners, managers and residents see.

Frequently asked questions
Who is Housemoot for?
People who run shared houses (also called flatshares or house shares) and private landlords with a few houses or flats. It works for one house with five rooms, or a handful of houses let room by room or as a whole.
How does rent tracking work?
Add each resident with their rent, how often they pay and their move-in date. A rent charge appears each week, fortnight or month as it falls due, and the last period is charged by the day when someone moves out. Payments are applied to the oldest charge first, so you can see what is overdue and the date each person is paid up to.
Does Housemoot collect rent online?
No. Residents pay you the way they do now, such as by bank transfer or cash. They can tell you in the app that they have paid, and the payment counts once you confirm it. A receipt is emailed when it is recorded.
How are shared bills split?
By the days each person lived in the house during the bill period, or equally between everyone who lived there. The shares always add up exactly to the bill. Residents mark their share as paid and a manager confirms it.
Do residents need to install an app?
No. Housemoot runs in any web browser on a phone or computer. Residents get a link, create an account with the email you saved for them, and you approve them in one click.
Does it work in my country?
Housemoot works in any currency, with your date format and time zone. Rent and tenancy rules vary by country and region, so it does not decide what you may charge, how much deposit you may hold or what notice you must give. It records what is owed, paid and agreed, and makes no claim that using it meets any local rule.
How much does Housemoot cost?
$99 USD once for the code, for one business, with no monthly fee. You run it in your own Cloudflare account, and Cloudflare's free plan covers a typical owner or sharehouse manager. If you would rather not set it up yourself, the Turnkey Setup is $499 USD and installs it with your houses and residents loaded.
What happens after I pay?
Stripe asks for your GitHub username at checkout. Straight after payment, that account is invited to the private Housemoot repository, and you get an email with your licence key and the setup guide. If the username cannot be found, you are emailed and access is sent by hand.
Can I try it before I buy?
Yes. The live demo has every feature with sample houses and residents. Sign in with one click as the owner, a manager or a resident; no account is needed, and it resets every night.
Can I bring my existing spreadsheet?
There is no spreadsheet import. You add houses, rooms and residents through simple forms, which takes a few minutes per house. The Turnkey Setup loads them for you from your spreadsheet.
Where is our data stored?
In your own Cloudflare account: records in a Cloudflare D1 database and files such as agreements and repair photos in a private Cloudflare R2 bucket. Red Center Studio does not host your copy and cannot see your data. Residents only see their own rent and payments.
Do I need technical skills to set it up?
Not many. The setup guide walks you through it in plain language and takes about 30 minutes the first time. Or choose the Turnkey Setup and it is installed in your Cloudflare account for you.
