We filter the chaos. Verified profiles, lifestyle compatibility, and a share house you'll actually want to come home to.
The real product is a mobile app. Quiz, matches, chat, listings, references, the whole flow is designed for the way you actually move through a flat hunt: on the tram, on a break, in bed at night.
The web demo on this page exists so you can explore the features now. The polished mobile app is what you'll use day-to-day at launch.
Thousands of posts, spam listings, scams, DMs from strangers with zero context. Every post is a gamble and nobody is vetted.
The existing platforms haven't meaningfully changed in over a decade. Volume, not quality. You scroll 500 rooms to find 3 that might work.
A 20 minute inspection is not enough to know what living with someone is actually like. You don't learn how loud they are at 11pm, how often their partner stays, or whether dishes get done. You find out after the lease is signed.
Whether you're hunting for a room or filling one in your house, the flow is built for the way it actually happens.
Lifestyle quiz, 4 personality prompts, photos, voice intro. Takes about 8 minutes.
The strongest matches first, sorted by lifestyle, budget, suburb and deal-breakers. No scrolling 500 ads.
Start a conversation. Request an inspection from the lister's calendar. Sign the lease.
Same quiz, same prompts. Roomy needs to know who lives there, not just what's there.
Amenities, room details, rent, photos, a blurb about the vibe. Map picker for the suburb. Save and continue any time.
Pick the slots you're free. Applicants book directly. No phone tag.
Five sections, save-and-continue, every field designed so the right kind of housemate finds you.
Address (map pin only, never your street), suburb, weekly rent, available date.
Built-in robe, ensuite, parking, outdoor space, bathroom share. Tick what applies.
Amenities, who else lives there, the vibe, what kind of housemate you're after.
Drop in 4 to 8 photos of the room and shared spaces.
Set your weekly availability. Applicants book a slot, both sides get a calendar invite.
We're rebuilding the housemate hunt from the ground up. Every choice ends in the same outcome: you end up in a house you actually like, with people you actually get along with.
We're building identity verification in from day one. No anonymous profiles, no catfishing, no guessing whether the person you're messaging is real. Details on our verification approach closer to launch.
We match on how you actually live, sleep schedule, cleaning standards, social energy, WFH patterns, not on whether you're attractive in your photos. A housemate is not a date.
We show you the strongest matches first, not 800 listings. You don't have to read 10 paragraphs to find the suburb. Decision fatigue removed.
No swipe. No "Super Likes." No engagement manipulation. This is the housing decision you'll spend 12+ months with. We treat it like that.
We're building Roomy now, launching in Melbourne soon. Join the waitlist and we'll tell you the moment it's live, plus send you occasional build updates along the way.
No spam, no rental scams, no fake urgency. Unsubscribe anytime.

Try the demo →We filter the chaos. Find housemates you'll actually get along with.
Tell us what you're after so we can show the right things.
Both go through the same profile build, then we'll route you to the listing form.
Show roomies who you are. A clear face shot, then a few that show the way you live, your space, your people, what you're into.
Roomy uses your photos for matching only. Never shared without your match.
Drop a pin on the suburb you want to live in. We'll surface matches in walking, riding, and tram distance.
Pick a few suburbs you'd be happy to live in.
A bit more about you so we can match on lifestyle, not just demographics. Anything sensitive can stay private from your profile settings later.
Stays private by default, you can show it on your profile from settings.
Everyone on Roomy is verified with government ID. It takes under two minutes. Your documents are never shared with matches.
You can browse listings without verifying. Messaging requires verified ID.
Every answer helps us match you with housemates you'll actually get along with. Skip around, come back later.
Pick 4 prompts and write short, honest answers. This is what makes your profile feel like you, not a form.
A 20-second voice intro plays at the top of your profile. Optional, but profiles with one match 2x faster. Adds a real human signal, not a filter.
Optional: add a 20-second voice intro above (highly recommended but not required).
Tip: specific, slightly self-aware answers get the best matches.
16 prompts, 4 per category. Choose one, then write your answer (up to 150 chars).
Rent, when the room's free, and your lease length. Suburb is already set.
What's actually in it. Tick the lot that applies.
A short blurb plus what you're after in a housemate.
Applicants with allergies need to know upfront.
Add your current housemates. Applicants will see who they'd be living with.
4 to 8 photos. The room, the kitchen, the living room, any outdoor space. Daylight please.
Tick the slots you're free. Applicants book directly. Both sides get a calendar invite. This same schedule shows on your listing and inside chat.
Tap a cell to toggle availability. Times shown in your local time.
5 slots free this week. Pick one in the apply step.
Pick a time the household is free, they confirm in one tap. No phone tag.
Times the household has set as available. Pick one, both sides get a calendar invite when they confirm.
Your full name and number share only when both sides confirm.
You both clean weekly, sleep around 11pm, and work from home 3 days a week. Say hello.
Suggested openers: your move-in date, budget, when you can view, or something specific from their profile that connected with you.
Add 1 to 3 people who can vouch for you as a housemate. Lookers and listers can request to view, you approve each request.
Choose what each tag is used for: shown on profile, used only for matching, or hidden entirely.
Built for everyone. Use what fits, ignore the rest.
