HausFlow Roommate Edition

Less Friction. More Flow.

HausFlow Roommate is built for adults who share a home and want to coordinate without the friction, resentment, or group chat chaos.

Roommates should not have to keep asking the same practical questions: What's the Wi-Fi password? When is trash day? Who calls maintenance? Are we out of supplies? What did we agree on?

HausFlow Roommate quietly remembers those household details so peers can coordinate without one person becoming the unofficial manager.

Coordinate your household.

Who It Is For​

  • Roommates in apartments and shared houses.
  • Co-living households.
  • Adult housemates managing shared tasks, supplies, bills, guests, maintenance, and expectations.

There is no parent. No child. No boss. No penalty. Just adults who need shared context.

What You Get​

Shared Board​

The Board is the household's shared context layer. Post tasks, supplies, guests, announcements, bills, packages, and maintenance in one visible place.

Everyone sees the same information in real time.

Tasks​

Tasks move through a simple peer coordination flow:

Up for Grabs -> Got This! -> On It -> Wrapping Up -> Done

The flow is about ownership and visibility, not ranking people.

House Tab​

One place for the information roommates keep asking each other for:

  • Wi-Fi network and password.
  • Trash day, recycling day, lease renewal date.
  • Parking, mailbox, door code, and building details.
  • Landlord, property manager, maintenance, utilities, and emergency contacts.
  • House agreements and household notes.

Sensitive fields can be masked and protected by a PIN.

Household Pulse​

Household Pulse gives a plain-language read on whether the house feels light, busy, worth a reset, or in need of attention.

It is not a score and it does not rank roommates.

Activity​

Activity shows what happened: tasks claimed, supplies handled, packages picked up, bills covered, help flags, and other household updates.

Insights​

Insights show patterns without scorekeeping. They help the household see whether work is piling up, whether supplies are getting missed, or whether it is time for a reset conversation.

Side Notes​

Side Notes are private notes for thoughts you are not ready to share. When useful, a note can become a Board post or shared note.

House Rhythm​

During onboarding, the household chooses starting defaults for:

SettingWhat it helps with
Fairness modeHow the household thinks about balancing visible work
Proof preferenceWhether completed tasks need photo clarity
Quiet hoursWhen the app avoids alerts

These are starting points, not rules imposed by the app.

Free And Pro​

Free is designed to be useful for real households.

Free includes the Board, task lifecycle, recurring items, House tab, Household Pulse, shared notes, Side Notes, library packs, notifications, and recent activity preview.

Pro adds deeper visibility and automation:

  • Stages swimlane view.
  • Full Activity tab.
  • Recurring automation.
  • Expanded Insights history.
  • Awareness trends.
  • Advanced household health signals.

Pro is about depth, not locking the basics away.

What Roommate Will Never Do​

HausFlow Roommate will not:

  • split expenses or track payments
  • rank roommates on a leaderboard
  • use shame language
  • send reminders just to drive engagement
  • replace the group chat people already use

The product question for every feature is: does this improve visibility, awareness, ownership, or coordination?

If not, it does not belong.

The branded roommate language should stay intact because it teaches the household how the app thinks: Board, Got This!, House Tab, Household Pulse, House Rhythm, Activity, Insights, and Side Notes are product concepts, not throwaway labels.

Philosophy​

Shared living usually starts with goodwill and vague expectations. Then real life begins.

The issue is rarely that roommates do not care. The issue is that shared homes run on memory, tolerance, and private frustration instead of a visible shared layer.

HausFlow Roommate is that shared layer, built for adults who are equals.

The product should feel like a calm household memory layer, not a scorekeeper.
