Join the waitlist

Homera is in alpha. A small group of homes is using it now and shaping it. Leave your email, and we'll invite your home the moment a spot opens.

Homes that join during the alpha unlock special looks for the app, as our thank you. They're yours to keep, for good.

Text messages from Homera

Last updated 2026-08-09

This page shows how somebody turns on texts from Homera. You see the real screen at each step, and the way to turn texts off again.

Homera is not sending texts yet. The screens below are live in the app now. Verify a number and you are set for the day texts start. Email carries every reminder until then.

Who gets a text

Only a person signed in to Homera gets a text. They add their own number and agree first. Nobody can sign up anyone else. A housemate who has not joined Homera gets email.

The texts are about your own home. They cover things like your part of a bill, a nudge before the pay-by day, and a note when all the shares are in.

How you turn texts on

  1. Step one of the Homera text opt-in: a signed-in housemate types their own mobile number, under a note that texts stay off until the number is verified.

    1. Open Notifications and type your number

    In the app, your name opens Notifications. It holds a card for texts. Texts stay off until you verify a number.

  2. Step two: the consent language, listing what Homera texts about, how often, that message and data rates may apply, that STOP turns texts off and HELP gets a hand, and that the number is never shared or sold, with links to the terms of service and the privacy policy, an unticked consent checkbox reading "Yes, text me about my home at this number", and a "Text me a code" button that stays disabled until the box is ticked.

    2. Read what you are agreeing to, then tick the box

    Before a text is sent, the screen lays out what Homera texts about and how often. It says rates may apply, and how to stop. It links the terms and the privacy policy. You tick the box yourself, and it starts empty.

  3. Step three: the housemate enters the code Homera texted to the number they entered, which is what proves the number is theirs.

    3. Confirm the code we text you

    Homera texts a code to the number you typed. Entering it proves the number is yours. Nobody can sign up a number they do not hold.

  4. Step four: the number shows as verified, with a note that Homera is not sending texts yet and the option to use a different number.

    4. Your number shows as verified

    That is the whole flow. The same card lets you change the number later, or turn texts off entirely.

These are the words on step two, exactly as the app shows them. Homera records which version you agreed to, and this is version 2026-08-10.

What you're agreeing to

  • Homera texts you about your home: your part of a bill, a reminder before it's due, and a note when everyone has paid.
  • That's a few texts a month for most homes. It depends on how many bills your home tracks.
  • Message and data rates may apply.
  • Text STOP any time to turn texts off, or text HELP if you need a hand.
  • We never share or sell your number.

Read the terms of serviceRead the privacy policy

Yes, text me about my home at this number.

The box starts empty. Nobody is opted in by default, and the button that sends the code stays off until the person ticks it themselves.

How to stop

Reply STOP to any Homera text and the texts stop. Reply HELP and you get a reply with the way to reach us. You can also turn texts off in the app, under Notifications.

Frequency, rates, and your number

Most homes get a few texts a month, and it depends on how many bills the home tracks. Message and data rates may apply. We never share or sell mobile numbers.

The Privacy Policy says the same in full, along with everything else we hold. Questions go to our contact page.
