Housey roommate cleaning schedule

iOS developer · Aug 2026

Swift, SwiftUI, StoreKit

Housey marketing site hero. Heading 'The easiest way to share a cleaning schedule.' Three iPhone mockups: a claimed day on Thursday August 13, a cleaning session checklist with Kitchen Bathroom and Living Room checked, and a done screen that says the house can see today's cleaning is finished. Download on the App Store button underneath. — Figure 1 | the App Store path on housey.io. claim a day, tick rooms, mark the session done. the rest of the house sees the same three states without asking.

Housey is an iOS app for people who share a kitchen and a bathroom and keep losing the argument about who cleaned. it is on the App Store as Housey: Roommate Cleaning. i built it. Swift, SwiftUI, StoreKit. iOS 16 and up.

the host sets up the house once: the shared spaces (kitchen, bathroom, whatever you actually fight about) and a cleaning cycle. roommates join with one invite code. anyone can claim a day. they work through a per-room checklist while they clean. the day ends as completed, partial, or missed. half a job is recorded as half a job.

What the house can see

Housey feature cards from housey.io. A calendar with claimed, partial, completed, and missed dots. A Thursday August 13 checklist for rooms. A roommates list with done/partial/missed counts. Cards for house chat with read receipts, notifications when a day is claimed or finished, one invite code, and free-for-roommates pricing. — Figure 2 | the four states on the calendar (claimed, partial, completed, missed), plus chat, notifications, and the owner-pays rule. roommates never hit a paywall.

the shared calendar is the product. blue claimed, yellow partial, green completed, red missed. a roommate list shows who is in the house and who cleans next, with per-person history. notifications fire when a day is claimed or finished.

chat sits next to the schedule so "who is taking Thursday" is not a group-thread that dies. claims can post themselves into that chat. the house also keeps the boring facts in one place: rules, address, Wi-Fi password.

1.0.1 caches household cleaning stats on the device so the roommates tab opens on the latest numbers and refreshes in the background.

What it is not

it is not a bill splitter, a grocery list, or a points game. it does not nag. the record is visible, and that is the whole mechanism.

pricing matches that shape. the person who creates the house subscribes ($2.99 a month, or $23.90 a year). everyone they invite joins that house free. one house, one payment, however many roommates. 14-day trial on the site.
