Stop scrolling Facebook groups for housing.

We read the groups so you don't have to. Every new post, summarised and searchable, plus direct listings with in-app chat. Free forever.

What that actually means

  • Contact details stay private

    You talk in-app, anchored to the post. Nobody gets your number to open a chat.

  • Transparent about what we know

    Every badge says exactly what was checked. We show what we can prove, and nothing more.

  • Two sources, always labelled

    Posts made here, and neutral summaries of public group posts. You always know which.

  • Free to browse and to post

    No fee to search, to post a room, or to say you’re looking.

  • Get notified when new listings arrive

    When someone posts a listing that fits what you're looking for, we send you an email right away.

Five steps, start to keys

How it works

  1. 1

    Search a university or city

    Find your campus or city and see who’s posting.

  2. 2

    See listings + curated posts

    Native listings plus a preview of curated posts from the web.

  3. 3

    Sign in

    Free forever. Signing in opens the full curated posts, with their source links.

  4. 4

    Message directly

    Chat is anchored to a listing and contact details stay private.

  5. 5

    Talk and finalize

    Chat with the person, do a video tour, and lock in your place.

Two kinds of post, never mixed up

Most sites show you one feed. We show two, and we mark which is which on every single row, because what you can safely do next is different for each.

  • Summary and source link
  • No poster contact details

See the whole thing in one pass

One pass through a real search: pick a city, read both kinds of post, and open a conversation.

Built for trust

In-app messaging keeps contact details private, every post shows exactly what we know about it, and every rental happens directly between you and the other party.

Asked before signing up

Is it free?

Yes. Browsing, posting a room, and posting that you’re looking are all free. There is no fee at any point and no commission on a rental.

Do you check the listings?

We run automated checks on photos and we remove what gets reported, but we never describe a listing or a person as verified, vetted or screened. Read the safety note on every post and video-tour a place before you pay anything.

Where do the group posts come from?

They are public housing posts from groups on the open web, rewritten as short neutral summaries with a link to the original. We never republish poster names, phone numbers or screenshots, and the link is only shown to signed-in members.

Will the other person get my phone number?

No. Conversations happen in the app, attached to the post they started from. What you choose to share in the chat is up to you.

Do you handle the rent or the deposit?

No. Every rental happens directly between you and the other party. We are not an agent, an escrow service or a party to your agreement.
