Chores the house actually does, without a house cop
Add the chores, give them to people and set how often they rotate. Homerun reminds whoever's up, so nobody in the house has to be the house cop.
Add the house events too: bin night, the inspection, the day the gas bill's due.
Free to sign up.
Every house has had the meeting.
- A roster goes on the fridge.
- Everyone means it.
- Three weeks later, the bins haven't gone out twice.
The truck's gone past. Nobody wants to be the one who says it.
So the same person cleans the bathroom every time.
Someone has to notice, and the person who notices becomes the nag. Nobody wants that job, so the job doesn't get done.
Nobody has to be the house cop.
Add the chores once and give them a rhythm. Homerun rotates them and reminds whoever's up, bin night included. The reminder never comes from a housemate.
Free to sign up.
Imagine the reminder never coming from you.
Whoever's up gets a message when it's their turn, and the whole house gets one before a shared date like an inspection. A chore that didn't happen stays assigned, and Homerun asks again.

Nobody had to say a thing.Imagine a roster that rotates itself.
Set the rhythm once. Homerun moves each chore to the next housemate and tells them. When a chore is marked done, the house sees it, so nobody has to prove they cleaned the bathroom.

An example house. The roster moves on when the week turns over.
Imagine a Saturday morning with nothing to argue about.
The bins went out. The bathroom got done. The person who used to notice everything gets the morning off.
Common questions
How do you make a fair chore roster for a sharehouse?
List the jobs the house actually cares about, give each one a rhythm, and rotate so nobody is stuck with the same one. Then put the reminding on something other than a housemate. Homerun does the rotating and the reminding, which is the part that usually breaks.
Does Homerun remind us, or only hold the list?
It reminds. Whoever is up for a chore gets a message when it is their turn, and the whole house gets one before a shared date like an inspection.
Can it remind us on bin night?
Yes. Set which bin and which night once, and Homerun reminds the house every week.
What happens if someone misses their turn?
The chore stays assigned to them and Homerun asks again. It does not quietly move to the housemate who noticed.
Can we change the roster when someone moves in or out?
Yes. Add or remove a housemate and the rotation adjusts. The chores stay with the house.
Are chores and reminders free?
Yes. Chores, house events and reminders are part of the free Homerun app.
Turn the tension into a plan.
- Reminders should come from an app, not a housemate.
- Fair means it rotates.
- A missed turn stays on the list. It doesn't fall to whoever notices.
- Nobody should have to prove they cleaned the bathroom.
- Nobody has to be the bad guy. Not even you.
