GoodbyeMama — find compatible roommates and the right room, in one place

A roommate-matching and room-finding platform — compatibility-based matches, real room and flat listings with booking, and in-app chat, across a mobile app and the web.

Matching

Rooms + People

Both in one app
“GoodbyeMama app screens showing a roommate profile, Barcelona room listings and a room booking page.”

GoodbyeMama helps people find compatible flatmates and the right room, fast — commission-free, across Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, and Seville. It combines profile- and lifestyle-based compatibility matching with real room and flat listings (prices, availability, and booking) plus in-app chat, delivered across a native iOS app and the goodbyemama.es website.

The approach

Challenge & solution

The challenge

Finding a flatmate usually means either endless listings with strangers or compatibility apps with no actual rooms. GoodbyeMama had to do both — match people well and surface real rooms — without the friction that kills shared-living searches.

Business challenges

Match people on real compatibility, not just listings
Surface real rooms and flats with pricing and availability
Keep the experience low-friction for young renters
Deliver a consistent product on mobile and web

Technical challenges

Build profile- and lifestyle-based matching
Model room and flat listings with booking
Provide real-time chat between matches
Share a coherent experience across iOS and web

Our solution

GoodbyeMama pairs a compatibility-first matching flow with a room marketplace: users build a profile, get matched, browse real listings with prices and details, book, and chat — on a native iOS app and the web.
