Opt

In communal living situations, shared living responsibilities are often forgotten or neglected. Roommates can try tolerating the deteriorating situation but eventually it will lead to built-up resentment, broken relationships, and even hostile environments.

Opt is a chore management application that facilitates shared responsibilities within a household. Opt provides roommates with a way out of responsibilities when desired, while providing incentive for the household to take on extra responsibilities. The service allows residents to “opt out” of doing chores by paying their roommates who “opt in” to giving them a hand. Opt keeps households accountable by following the contribution of individual roommates while keeping track of every chore being completed around the household.
