HiMate-Make Shared Living Visible

Industrial Design
2026
Ever lived with someone and felt like home wasn't quite your home?HiMate is a shared living app that makes living patterns between roommates visible and easy to manage. Living with people from different backgrounds means constantly navigating habits, boundaries, and routines that are hard to bring up or easy to misread.Cleaning duties, noise level, overnight guests. These small frictions can quietly build into big tension. HiMate makes those unspoken expectations visible. Roommates can set their preferences, share them openly, and update them when routine changes. No more repeated negotiations and awkward confrontations. HiMate makes the everyday living experience more predictable and easier to manage.

“Shared living, finally predictable.”
