Housemate RotaA cleaning rota your house will actually stick to
Everyone gets a room each week, and the rooms move round every Monday. Small jobs like the bins and the dishwasher score points. A captain keeps it moving, and at the end of the month, the bottom of the table buys the cleaning supplies.
Free. No sign-up. Works on any tablet, phone or computer.
How it works
Two minutes to set up, then the rota runs itself.
Add your housemates and rooms
Pick the rooms you share and we suggest the jobs for each one. Change anything you like.
Everyone gets a room each week
Kitchen, bathroom, living room: the rooms move round every Monday, so nobody is stuck with the bathroom for ever.
Tap a job when it’s done
Small jobs score points as you go. Room jobs get ticked off by Sunday night. The month’s points decide who buys the supplies.
Why houses stick with it
A rota on the fridge works for a week. A rota that keeps score works for the year.
Points for the small stuff
Emptying the dishwasher, taking the bins out, the recycling run. Every job counts, and it locks for a while so nobody taps it twice.
Rooms that rotate
Each room has its own tick list, so everyone knows what “cleaned the kitchen” actually means.
A captain each week
The captain checks the rooms on Sunday and sends the week’s sum-up to the house group chat.
Fair minus points
Left dishes in the sink? Anyone can give a minus, with a reason, and everyone sees who gave it.
Made for the kitchen tablet
Put an old tablet on the wall and it becomes the house board. It works with no internet.
Private from the start
No sign-up, no ads, nothing sent anywhere. Your board lives on your own device.
On the tablet, or in your pocket
Install it like an app on Android, iPhone or a computer. It opens full screen and keeps working when the Wi-Fi drops.
House Plus: everyone’s phone in sync
Tick a job from your own phone, get a reminder before Sunday night, and keep a backup in the cloud. One person pays a small yearly fee and the whole house joins free.
Questions
Is it really free?
Yes. The board on one tablet or phone is free, with no ads. House Plus, with everyone’s phone in sync, will be a small yearly fee for the whole house.
Do we need to sign up?
No. Open it, set up your house, and you’re done.
Where is our data kept?
On the device you use it on. Nothing is sent to us. Save a backup from Settings now and then.
How many people can share a board?
From 2 to 8.
Can we print it?
Yes. Make a free printable cleaning rota in a minute.
Does it work on an iPhone?
Yes. Open it in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen. Set your house up inside the app, because it keeps its own copy of the board.
