Why I made it
Shared homes should not need five different apps.
Living with other people often means using a banking app for payments, messages for reminders, a calendar for plans and memory for everything else.
I am building Cofori with Hollie Baker, Kevin Tshribi, Michael Akinmeji and Oluwatobi James to bring those everyday tasks together. Shared and personal responsibilities stay distinct, while bills, plans and conversations remain connected to the people in the home.
Cofori
For everyone, with an experience that feels useful rather than cold or financial.
The individual, because each person's responsibility should still be clear.
Inside the product
Everything the household needs, in one place.
A bill arrives, someone pays it, others send their share, a plan gets made and the house talks about it. Cofori keeps those moments connected.
UI rendered from the current Cofori app components on 23 October 2026, using fictional Maple House data. Each device uses its own desktop, tablet or mobile layout.
01
Bills that explain themselves
Keep shared and personal expenses separate, repeat monthly bills and see who owes whom. Receipts and Smart Import support the journey from purchase to settle-up.
02
Plans live with the people
Shared and personal plans meet in a household calendar, with shared availability, time-zone-aware suggestions, accepted, maybe and declined responses, a personal phone-calendar subscription and branded plan emails from Pockets.
03
Conversation in context
Household chat and direct messages connect replies, reactions, photos, video uploads and voice notes. Voice and video calls keep conversations within the household, while unread indicators make new messages easier to find.
How it works
One connected product, not a pile of separate features.
Bills & receipts
Shared and personal expenses, monthly repeats, Smart Import and clear settle-up flows.
A home of your own
Chore swaps and cover requests, household polls, repair tracking, shared notes, home files and customisable 3D avatars.
Plans & calendar
Find overlapping free time across time zones, check RSVP status and keep plans close through calendar subscriptions and plan emails.
Chat & calls
Household chat, direct messages, unread indicators, video sharing, voice notes, and voice and video calls with housemates.
Product update · 23 October 2026
Less organising.
More time together.
The latest beta work goes beyond recording bills and plans. It helps the household find a time, make a decision, share the workload and see what needs attention.
Your week with Pockets
A helpful housemate with an eye on the week.
An optional weekly briefing brings together bills needing attention, upcoming plans, your chores, household votes and repairs. Each item opens the relevant detail, so the next step is easy to find.
Pockets also has a conversational space in Ask Pockets, with the mascot and the member’s own avatar carrying the product’s personality into chat.
Find the overlap.
Housemates share when they are free. Cofori compares those windows for the selected people and meeting length, then suggests times that work together.
Time-zone-aware display keeps the same moment clear for everyone. A suggested slot can become a plan without entering the details again.
Make the house work together.
Household polls help settle decisions. Repair tracking keeps follow-ups visible. Chore cover and swap requests can go to the group chat or a direct message, with assignments changing once accepted.
The Notice Board brings these everyday updates into the shared home.
Know who’s coming.
Open a plan’s responses to see who accepted, who might attend and who cannot make it. Personal calendar subscriptions and Cofori emails keep invitations, changes and cancellations connected to the original plan.
Calendar reminders are optional and off by default. Calendar refresh timing and alerts depend on the member’s calendar settings.
A home with familiar faces.
Customisable 3D avatars carry personal identity across the household. Chat supports replies, mentions, reactions, photos, voice notes and video uploads, with voice and video calls for housemates.
Shared and personal expenses stay distinct, while receipt scanning and Smart Import help turn purchases into organised records.
Cofori is in beta and continues to evolve through testing. Try the public Beta or visit Cofori.com to follow the product.
Character-led product design
Pockets makes household admin feel friendlier.
Pockets changes pose and tone depending on what is happening. Overdue, pending and settled bills each get a clear visual cue before the user reads the details.
“Cofori should feel like a helpful housemate, not a finance dashboard with friendly colours.”
From idea to working product
From household problem to a working beta.
As founder and CEO, I lead product direction, UX/UI, brand refinement, character direction and the responsive build. Hollie Baker is co-founder and CFO; Kevin Tshribi leads growth and marketing operations; Michael Akinmeji works on product strategy and UX/UI; Oluwatobi James leads motion design and brand experience. Hollie also contributed the name, initial logo direction and original Pockets concept.

A real product, not just a portfolio concept.
