We're building the roommate finder we wish existed when we needed one.
Finding a roommate shouldn't feel like a gamble. But for most people, it is. You scroll through Craigslist listings or Facebook groups, exchange a few messages, maybe meet for coffee, and then cross your fingers that the person who seemed fine in a 20-minute conversation won't drive you crazy by week three.
The real issue isn't finding a roommate. It's finding one who actually fits how you live. Someone whose sleep schedule, cleanliness standards, guest habits, and noise tolerance align with yours. Those details rarely come up in a casual apartment viewing, but they're the things that make or break a living situation.
CoHabby takes a different approach. Instead of showing you listings and hoping for the best, we ask you how you actually live. Over 40 questions cover the things that matter most when sharing a space: when you wake up, how clean you keep common areas, whether you work from home, how you feel about overnight guests, your cooking habits, and more.
Your answers generate a living profile. When you browse other users, CoHabby calculates a synergy score that tells you exactly how well you'd coexist. You can see where you agree, where you differ, and make an informed decision before you ever start a conversation.
It's free for anyone looking for a roommate. Landlords who want to find compatible tenants for their properties use a paid subscription.
Co-Founder & CEO
Software engineer and first-time founder. CJ built CoHabby from the ground up after too many bad roommate experiences convinced him there had to be a better way. He handles product, engineering, and the parts of running a startup that nobody warns you about.
Co-Founder
Fatine brings an international perspective to the co-living space. Having navigated roommate situations across different countries and cultures, she understands that compatibility isn't just about habits, it's about how people communicate and share space.
A fast match isn't a good match. We'd rather you find one roommate who actually fits your lifestyle than scroll through hundreds who don't.
Our questions are designed to surface real living habits, not the version of yourself you'd put on a first date. The more honest your answers, the better your matches.
Your email, phone number, and personal details are never shared with other users. All conversations happen in-app until you decide otherwise.
Finding a roommate is stressful enough. CoHabby is free for anyone looking for a compatible housemate, no paywalls on matching or messaging.
CoHabby launched in 2025 and currently covers major US metro areas including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Seattle, Miami, Austin, and more. The app is available on iOS, Android, and the web. We add new cities based on user demand.
