Frequently Asked Questions

CoHabby is a roommate finder with a Synergy V4 evidence-aware pair read. It uses 14 progressive questions across six categories. Synergy summarizes stated compatibility and evidence to start a conversation. It is not tenant screening, a safety check, lease eligibility, or a prediction of how living together will go. CoHabby is available on iOS, Android, and web.

CoHabby offers in-app messaging, profile controls, blocking, and reporting. These controls can reduce exposure, but no app can guarantee that a person, room, or payment request is safe. Learn more at Safe Roommate Search.

CoHabby only displays the information you choose to share on your profile. Your email and phone number are never visible to other users. All conversations happen in-app. You can review our full privacy policy for details.

You can delete your account from Settings in the app, or request help at cohabby.com/delete-account. Account deletion permanently removes your public profile, listings, photos, quiz results, Synergy data, and account credentials. Your identity is removed from existing conversations; message history may remain available to the other participant and for safety or legal obligations.

CoHabby focuses on a practical roommate-search problem: listings show the room, but often say little about daily habits in the shared home. Learn more about the product on the About page.
