For roommates

The roommate chore app that keeps roommates friends.

The chore chart on the fridge died in week two. NestBoard rotates the chores, holds the grocery list, and keeps the apartment's calendar, without anyone becoming the nag.

A chore chart for roommates that runs itself.

Set up the chores once: trash on Tuesdays, bathroom weekly, dishes as needed. Rotations move them fairly between roommates, streaks give credit where it is due, and the completion history means "I always do the dishes" is a checkable claim instead of an argument.

  • Automatic rotation between roommates
  • Repeating and as-needed chores
  • A visible history, so fairness has receipts
  • Streaks and badges instead of passive aggression

One grocery list for the whole apartment.

Everyone adds to the same list, so the Costco run covers everybody and the third bottle of ketchup stops happening. Pantry tracking notes what is already in the cupboard and what is about to expire.

  • Shared lists everyone can add to
  • Barcode scanner for fast adds
  • Pantry expiry alerts
  • Multiple lists: groceries, household stuff, the party

The apartment's calendar.

Trash night, rent due on the 1st, who has guests this weekend, when the landlord is coming. A shared calendar with a color per roommate keeps the common space predictable while everyone's personal life stays their own.

  • A color per roommate
  • Repeating events for rent day and trash night
  • House events on everyone's own phone
  • iPhone, Android, and web, mixed freely
The honest part

NestBoard is a full household app, not a chore-wheel gimmick. It also has kid and family features. Roommate households can simply never touch them.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best chore app for roommates?

One that survives month two. NestBoard rotates chores automatically, keeps a visible history so fairness is checkable, and lives next to the shared grocery list and the house calendar, so it stays open after the novelty wears off.

How does the chore rotation work?

Put the chores in once and choose who rotates through them. NestBoard advances the assignment automatically each cycle, and completions are logged so everyone can see the pattern.

Does every roommate have to pay?

No. One household is $4.99 a month or $49.99 a year with unlimited members. Split four ways, that is close to a dollar each.

Does it split bills or expenses?

No, and we would rather say so than half-build it. NestBoard handles chores, lists, and the calendar. Keep your bill-splitting app for the money.
