Roomie@Home

Roomie@Home is designed to enhance your shared living experience. It answers the simple yet pressing question of whether your housemates is home or outside, manages your household with a highly customizable calendar, and keep everyone posted on the house bills and receipts. 1. With a privacy-oriented approach, the app allows you to check your housemates’ realtime location status without the need for sharing exact location outside the house. This feature is distinguished from other location monitoring apps such as Find Friends and Life 360, which deal with excessive privacy when it comes to housemates. Does any of these sound familiar? • You're tired of texting your housemates "Are you home rn?" or "When will you arrive?" • On a drowsy Saturday afternoon, you feel like some loud music or playing video games, but hate to disturb others in case they are sleeping/studying next door. • At 11pm, you’re about to put on the chain lock of the apartment door but afraid to lock out your partying housemates. • At 12pm, you want to check on your housemates' safety in case they’re still outside. • You’re halfway home, but realized you forgot to bring the keys this morning. Is anyone there to open the door? • You have a delivery package arriving earlier than expected but you’re outside, can someone receive the package for you? • You want to invite your friends over without your housemates’ presence. Sure, you can always message them to ask. However, it gets frustrating once it becoming a part of daily routine, and most people can't text back in seconds. By keeping you posted on whether your housemate is home, Roomie@Home provides an elegant solution that ensures everyone’s convenience, privacy, and safety. To improve accuracy and accommodate specific user needs, the app allows fine-tuning the radius of detection zone, so that anyone within the circle will be considered home. 2. The need of sharing household is also a key part of shared living experience. Roomie@Home’s calendar fulfills the need by allowing users to create highly customizable events with any desired alternate patterns. Simply choose a start and end date, a repeat pattern, and responsible members in any order, the app will handle the rest for you. The calendar will clearly display who is responsible for which event on what date, and events are synced across everyone's app once created or modified. When the day comes, whoever responsible for a particular event will receive a notification reminder. (Using this feature for personal schedules / habit tracking is also welcome, since events are only visible to responsible members) 3. Feel free to upload any house-related receipts, leasing documents, and utility bills in the app’s album section to keep the household in the loop. (In case there is a need for splitting cost, we will handle the math for you!) Join Roomie@Home, an app that makes your shared living experience tuned-in, organized, and seamless.
