The problem

What needed solving.

Share housing listings show the room, but the people and how the household runs matter just as much. That leads to wasted messages and inspections.

Head tenants manage rent, bills, applications and house rules with spreadsheets and group chats, and often share their street address with strangers.

What was built

The product, feature by feature.

Compatibility matching

A match percentage between people and households, based on preferences on both sides.

Swipe-style discovery

Browse matches one card at a time and save the good ones.

Preferences and dealbreakers

Set what matters, such as smoking, pets or shift work, and filter out mismatches early.

Four roles in one platform

Room seekers, people with a room to rent, house and pet sitters, and head tenants managing an existing sharehouse.

Sharehouse Manager

No-login applicant links, street address hidden until an inspection invite, one-click conversion from applicant to housemate, room-by-room rent status and tax export, AI agreements and a document vault, chore rosters, chat and calendar.

AI assistant

Help with matches, profiles, listings and messages.

Trust and safety

Email, phone, Pro and original user badges, safety resources, and reports reviewed by moderators.

Built for Australia

Weekly rent in AUD, search by Australian cities and regions, and sign-in with Google, Apple or email.

How it works

Pick a path, Set preferences, Match, Manage.

  1. Pick a path. Visitors choose what brings them there: finding a room, renting one out, house sitting or managing a sharehouse.
  2. Set preferences. Profiles capture routines, budgets and dealbreakers.
  3. Match. Compatibility percentages surface the households and people worth contacting.
  4. Manage. Head tenants run applications, rent and house documents from one dashboard, with free logins for housemates.
