The smartest way to run a sharehouse
Organise your house, split bills and unlock deals on the things your house actually needs. Private beta now open.
Why we built Homerun
In Australia, sharehouses are not just a temporary stage in life. But there is no easy way to manage your sharehouse.
Someone forgets to pay rent, bills get split wrongly. The group chat turns passive-aggressive over $12 worth of toilet paper.
So we built Homerun. One place to handle the money, the tasks, and the running of your house, so you can get back to actually enjoying life.

Questions we get about Homerun
What is Homerun?
Homerun is an app for renters and sharehouses in Australia. You upload your rental lease and Homerun automatically turns it into a shared home dashboard, where housemates manage bills, rent, chores, reminders, utilities and documents in one place.
It saves renters time, reduces the confusion and arguments that come with sharing a house, and helps everyone save money on household costs.
Homerun also covers the awkward parts of a tenancy — moving in, moving out, and the handover admin in between.
Why does Homerun exist?
Homerun exists to make renting easier, fairer and cheaper for everyone living together. Most sharehouses run on group chats, spreadsheets or guesswork, which leads to arguments, missed bills and wasted time.
Renting is expensive, disorganised and full of admin that no one wants to handle. The tools renters actually use were never built for a house of four people splitting one electricity bill.
Who does Homerun help?
Homerun is built for anyone sharing a rental home in Australia. That includes students, young professionals, housemates, couples living with others, co-living homes and flatmates who want things to run smoothly.
If your house splits a bill, keeps a chore roster, or has ever argued about whose turn it was to buy toilet paper, Homerun is built for you.
Why do we care?
Renting in Australia is at record unaffordability levels, and managing the admin between housemates or with property managers is a frustrating process. We care because renters are being left behind, with no one championing them.
Homerun fixes this with a simple workflow: upload your lease, invite your housemates, and we give you the tools to run your household smoothly.
We want to build services that immediately improve the quality of life for renters.
How does Homerun save renters money?
Homerun has a bill comparison tool that finds the best electricity, gas and internet offers in your area, plus a subscription box of everyday house goods that is easier to split between housemates than buying ad hoc.
The subscription box covers the things every house runs out of — toilet paper, hand soap, laundry powder. Splitting one recurring order beats the situation where one housemate quietly buys more than their fair share. You get discounts when you complete onboarding or refer friends to Homerun.
As Homerun grows, our negotiating power with suppliers improves, and that lets us pass on better prices to you.
What features does Homerun have?
Homerun covers lease upload and automatic home setup, a shared house dashboard, rent and bond tracking, housemate tasks and reminders, document storage, moving in and out checklists, utilities and internet recommendations, a shared expenses log, automated notifications, and one-tap housemate invitations.
Lease upload and home setup. Upload your lease as a PDF and Homerun extracts the key details automatically, then builds your home dashboard — rent schedules, bond amounts, key dates and your house structure — without any manual effort.
Shared home dashboard. One place where your house manages rent, bills, tasks, documents and reminders. Everyone sees the same information, which removes confusion and keeps the whole house aligned.
Rent and bond tracking. Track rent amounts, due dates and payments, plus bond contributions and changes through your tenancy. Helps prevent disputes and avoids late fees.
Housemate tasks and reminders. Shared to-do lists for the house, with smart reminders for inspections, bills and lease renewals. Keeps everyone accountable.
House document storage. Your lease, inspection photos, receipts and important documents in one place — easy to find during move-in, move-out or a dispute.
Moving in and moving out checklists. Structured checklists covering condition photos, cleaning tasks, bill wrap-up and deposit steps, so transitions are smooth for everyone.
Utilities and internet recommendations. See electricity, gas and NBN plans matched to your house setup and location, so you avoid paying more than you need to.
Shared house expenses log. Track household spending in one place so the house stops doubling up on detergent, cleaning products and shared items.
Notifications and automation. Automatic reminders for bills, chores, rent and tasks, updating the house when something needs attention.
Housemate invitations. Invite your housemates with a single tap. They join your dashboard instantly, with no complicated setup.
