Built for student flats - chore rotations that adapt when people travel, expense splits without spreadsheets, encouraging flatmates to bond and a fairness engine that quietly keeps score so you don't have to.
FlatBuddy combines what Splitwise, Flatastic, and Tody each do separately — then adds the bits no one else thought of, like the fairness engine and absence handling.
Every flatmate gets a live 0–100 score across chores, expenses, products, availability and bonus points. Gemini AI writes a paragraph explaining what's actually going on. Exam season? Contributions are scaled so revision doesn't tank your number.
Tap "Vacate". The chore rotation rebuilds without you. Tap return — the rotation rebuilds with you back in. No awkward "I wasn't here, why is this mine?"
Real-time messages, image posts, pinned notices. Designed for the stuff that doesn't belong in WhatsApp.
Google Cloud Vision pulls the store name and total off any receipt and pre-fills the expense form. Pick equal split, full amount, or custom — and it's in. Three ways to split, zero conversations starting with "wait, how much was your bit?"
Every chore done fires a celebration overlay. Top three flatmates get medals. Subtle nudges, no manipulation.
Tag a flatmate (or several), describe the issue, hit send. Notification goes to whoever's responsible. Optionally moderated by your accommodation admin.
A rotation for the household stuff that's too small to be an "expense" but too constant to forget. Marks as in-stock or needs buying. Notifies whoever's up.
Drinking Games · Deep Questions · Would You Rather · Dares · Icebreakers - and more. Sometimes the flat just needs to hang out.
The milk drama is over.
Antisocial flats don't just cost you a bad review — they cost you the re-let. FlatBuddy gives your residents a system that rewards the good ones and quietly holds the rest accountable, so more of them want to stay.
Unshared chores, unpaid bills and 3am noise don't stay small. They curdle into resentment, hostility and antisocial behaviour. Residents disengage, complain, damage shared spaces — then leave the moment their contract ends and warn their mates off.
Give every resident a system that makes good behaviour visible and rewarded, and antisocial behaviour accountable. Great flatmates earn perks. Flagged issues — noise, mess, damage — are logged, evidenced and, where your policy allows, tied to deposit deductions.
Calmer flats, fewer disputes to mediate, less damage to make good. Residents who feel their effort is seen stay longer and rebook — turning a hostile-flat cost centre into predictable, repeat revenue for the accommodation.
Good habits earn real rewards — free coffee, perks, recognition. Being a great flatmate finally pays off, and the whole flat feels the difference.
Noise, mess and damage get flagged against the resident responsible — with a clear record you can act on and, where policy allows, apply as fees against their deposit.
Rewards and accountability nudge residents toward pulling their weight.
Fewer disputes, less noise, less damage for your team to chase.
People who feel their effort is seen actually enjoy living there.
Retention rises, voids fall, and word of mouth fills the rest.
FlatBuddy comes with a separate web dashboard for accommodation providers. Pin notices to the FlatBoard, moderate flagged issues, see fairness data across every flat you manage. Built for HMO operators, university accommodations, and PBSA providers who want lower-friction tenants without micromanaging them.
Whether you're a student wanting early access for your flat, an accommodation provider curious about white-labelling, or just have a question — we'd love to hear from you.
