Hey everyone I'm Nacho, a solo founder, and I'm launching Homio here tomorrow.
Homio is one shared place for people who live together partners, roommates, families to run their home: split expenses fairly (equally, by %, or by each person's income), share chores with a friendly leaderboard, keep one shopping list, and a shared household calendar. The idea I care most about is "fair, not equal" 50/50 isn't always fair when incomes differ, and someone always ends up carrying more of the invisible load.
A bill scanner would be a huge add — being able to snap a photo of an electric or internet bill and have it auto-split between everyone would save so much manual entry. Could probably tie it right into the existing expense tracker too.
@ece9cgh Love this, and honestly it's a really natural fit. Right now you add expenses manually, but AI for the household is exactly where I'm heading next, and snap-a-bill-and-auto-split is the kind of thing I want it to do. Out of curiosity, is it recurring bills like electric and internet that eat the most time for you, or one-off stuff?
The income-based split is the part I like. "Fair, not equal" is how sharing a home actually works, and almost every splitting app ignores it. Good that the chore leaderboard makes the invisible work visible without turning it into a contest. That balance is easy to get wrong. Nice one :)
@alieksia Thanks, that means a lot. The "fair not equal" bit is the whole reason I started building this, it always bugged me that splitting apps assume everyone earns the same. And yeah, the leaderboard was the trickiest thing to get right, too much and it feels like a contest, too little and the work stays invisible. Do you split by income where you live, or is that new to you?
@nacho_jorge We didn't split by income in my family because there were periods of time when I didn't have a job, but was taking care of our baby and the house. And if you calculate how much we would spend on daycare, cleaning services, cooking that would be much more than I would earn after taxes (in the Netherlands everything is very expensive). But now when I work it would be nice to share chores the fair way.
@alieksia Thank you for sharing this, it means a lot. Caring for a baby and the house is work, even when there's no paycheck attached, and that's exactly why the chore side exists alongside the money side. "Fair" looks different in every home, and now that you're working again I hope the app helps you find your version of it.
