Apps for WGs: Finance, organisation, shopping & more

Shared flats are great and offer many advantages, especially in big cities with high rents. Not only can the costs for rent, utilities, internet, electricity and more be shared, the responsibilities can also be better managed. Instead of having your own flat, you only have to maintain part of the shared flat. 

Even today, these responsibilities were still recorded with pen and paper – fortunately, there are now apps that make planning and managing much easier – whether it’s cleaning schedules, organisation and management, finances or shopping apps. With these apps, you’ll be on the right side and avoid disputes and a bad mood in the flat-sharing community.

Finance apps for shared flats

In addition to organisational matters, financial aspects must not go unmentioned: How do I keep track of shared accounts? How are expenses for parties, joint activities and purchases divided up and paid for? This is where finance apps come into play. The following apps give you an overview of your finances – either for you, for you and your partner or for joint accounts, depending on your living situation. If you want to know more about each app, you can read our article on the best budgeting apps.

Cleaning plans, task assignments and organisation apps

Part of every cohabitation is also the division of responsibilities: Who takes out the rubbish? Who cleans the shared rooms? Fortunately, there are organisational apps that keep everyone on the same page.

Note apps

Organisational apps always need someone to maintain them. Therefore, if you are looking for something simpler to record things together, you should take a look at the following note apps. They are suitable for collaboration if the flatmates use smartphones with different operating systems.

Shopping apps

Every shared flat is different. In some, everyone is responsible for themselves, while in others, cooking together is part of the flat-sharing DNA. If you live in a shared flat where you shop together, then the following shopping apps may be recommended for you.

Inventory apps

When flat shares are newly founded, the following question arises: Who brings in which furniture? Whether it’s the fridge, the washing machine or perhaps the PlayStation in the shared living room: inventory apps are suitable for ensuring that there are no disputes or problems in the event of moving out or damage.

The Pantry.app takes a different approach and catalogues your food supplies.
