    The morning chaos, sorted

    Calendar, lists, and chores in one place. So nobody forgets the PE kit.

    14-day free trial. No card. Up to 8 family members.

    The reality

    Two parents, two careers, three kids, two activities a week each, a dog that needs walking, a boiler that needs servicing, and a mental load that lands on whoever notices it first. University of Bath research (2024) found that mothers carry 71% of household mental load tasks, regardless of employment status or income.

    Six apps for one household. WhatsApp threads no one reads. The PE kit, again. Calendar in one place. Budget in another. Shopping list in a third. Smart-home schedule in a fourth. Loyalty cards in a fifth. School ParentMail in a sixth. None of them talk to each other. All of them want £4 a month.

    The cost of fragmented family admin is not just the £20 to £25 in monthly subscriptions. It is the time spent switching between apps, the things that fall through the cracks between them, and the load that lands on the partner who has installed the most of them.

    • “Six apps for one household.”
    • “Nobody knows whose week it is for swimming.”
    • “The PE kit. Again.”
    • “Did you book the parents' evening?”
    • “I'll just do it myself.”

    What this looks like in practice

    The jobs to be done, named in plain English.

    • A calendar that absorbs work shifts, school events, and after-school clubs without the WhatsApp shuffle.
    • Lists anyone can add to, anyone can complete, and nobody has to remember.
    • A way to track and share chores so the load is visible, not assumed.
    • Budget visibility for both partners without sharing bank accounts.
    • Smart, simple admin for warranties, bills, and the boiler service.
    • A 30-second morning brief that tells you what today actually contains.

    How Haevn handles it

    Each feature mapped to a job above. Built to work together.

    The Plan, colour-coded per person

    Each household member has a colour. School calendar imports. Activity schedules.

    Conflict detection flags overlaps ('you've both got something at 4pm Tuesday').

    Why this matters here. Most weeks fall apart on the third overlap nobody noticed. A calendar that flags them before they happen is the single highest-value piece of family admin.

    The List, anyone-adds

    Shopping, packing, morning routines. Whoever notices, adds. Whoever's near the shop, sees.

    Real-time sync. Aisle-aware sorting in shopping mode. Repeats for weekly items.

    Why this matters here. The 'noticing tax' usually sits with one partner. A shared list means anyone in the household can offload the noticed thing the moment it is noticed.

    Chores, fairly distributed

    Assign chores. Track completion. End the 'I do everything' arguments with data both partners can see.

    Weekly view of who did what. Configurable to show or hide totals.

    Why this matters here. Most household labour disagreements are about visibility, not effort. When both partners see the same record, the conversation changes shape.

    The Hub, the morning brief

    A 30-second look at today: events, list items, who's home, who's out.

    Designed for kettle-on, coffee-in-hand reading. Mobile-first. Customisable.

    Why this matters here. If you read one thing in the morning, it should tell you everything you need to know about today. The Hub is built for exactly that one moment.

    The Pot, joint visibility

    Both partners see the household budget. Bills, food, kids' activities, all in one view.

    Manual logging by design. No bank login shared. No Open Banking integration today.

    Why this matters here. Most couples want to see the same picture of money without merging accounts. The Pot does that without asking either partner to give up financial privacy.

    The House, the boiler service date

    Warranties, manuals, service history. Searchable. Shareable with whichever partner is home for the engineer.

    Document storage with categories, expiry reminders, and a one-tap share.

    Why this matters here. The home admin partner is usually one person. The House moves the knowledge into a place either partner can use, so 'I am out, can you handle the boiler man?' becomes a short message, not a 20-minute brief.

    How a typical week runs on Haevn

    A fictional dual-income UK household. Two parents working full-time, three children at primary and secondary school, a dog, and the usual moving parts. Names removed on purpose.

    1. Monday

      The Hub greets the parents at 6:45am with the day's brief. School run is split, the eldest has after-school football, the middle one needs their reading record signed. The List flags milk, bread, and dog food. Whichever parent passes the shop first, picks up.

    2. Tuesday

      The Plan flags an overlap: parents' evening at 5:30pm clashes with swimming pickup. One parent reassigns the pickup to a grandparent already in The Circle, who accepts on their phone in 20 seconds. No phone calls, no group chat, no panic at 5pm.

    3. Wednesday

      Mid-week shop. The List, sorted by aisle, takes 18 minutes instead of 35. The Pot logs the £62 spend against the food budget. Both parents see the running total without sharing a bank account.

    4. Thursday

      The boiler engineer is due Friday morning. The House holds the service history, the warranty, and the model number. The parent who is home shares the lot with one tap, ready for the visit.

    5. Friday

      Chores view shows the children have done four of the five they agreed on. The fifth, hoovering, gets carried into the weekend without a row. The parents see the same record, so the conversation about effort is short.

    6. Saturday

      Family Chat plans Sunday lunch with the grandparents. The Plan adds the lunch, the menu lands in The List, and the dietary note for one grandparent (no gluten) sits in The Circle so nobody forgets.

    7. Sunday

      A 10-minute reset. One parent reviews next week in The Plan, the other clears completed items from The List. Quiet Hours come on at 8pm. The household closes the laptop knowing what Monday looks like.

    One app held the whole week. Six others did not need to be opened.

    One subscription. Not seven.

    Most family-life apps do one thing well. A calendar. Or a budget. Or a chore tracker. Haevn does what a household actually needs in one place. £6.99 a month for everything, including up to 8 family members.

    Run the numbers. A calendar app at £4 a month, a budget app at £6, a smart-home subscription at £8, a family chat at £3, a loyalty wallet at £3. That is around £24 a month for what Haevn does for £6.99. Cancel three of them, keep one Haevn (estimated; based on common UK app subscription prices, May 2026).

    The bigger saving is not the money. It is the cognitive load of running one household across six logins. One app. One login per family member. One place where the household lives.

    Common questions

    Is Haevn just for parents with young children?

    No. Haevn works for any household running real shared admin. Couples without children, multi-generational homes, flatshares, and busy families with teenagers all use the same core features. The defaults are tuned for families with school-age children, but every feature scales up or down.

    How is Haevn different from a shared Google Calendar?

    A shared calendar tells you what is on. It does not hold the shopping list, the chores, the budget, the warranty for the boiler, or the morning brief that ties them together. Most busy households have a shared calendar already and still feel disorganised. Haevn is the layer above the calendar.

    Can grandparents and babysitters use Haevn without paying separately?

    Yes. Up to 8 family members are included in one £6.99-a-month subscription. That includes grandparents, babysitters, au pairs, and any other adult helping run the household. Each person gets their own login with permissions you choose.

    Does Haevn work if only one parent uses it?

    Yes, but you get more value if both parents do. Most of the load-sharing features (shared lists, chore visibility, joint budget view) need at least two adults logged in. The good news is that adding a partner is a 30-second invite by WhatsApp.

    What if we already use 5 different apps?

    Most new Haevn households start by replacing two or three apps in the first month and the rest by month three. There is no rush. Import where we can (calendar feeds work today), keep the apps you genuinely love, and replace the ones that are admin debt.

    Can teens have their own access?

    Yes. Teens can have their own login with a teen role: their own calendar, the lists they need, no access to the household budget. Family Tracking is off by default and only enabled with their explicit consent. We follow the ICO Children's Code on every default.

    Is it really £6.99 for the whole family?

    Yes. £6.99 a month, or £69.99 a year (introductory £49.99 for the first year). One subscription, up to 8 members, all features included. No add-ons, no per-seat fees, no premium tier.

    What's the catch with the limited-time £49.99/year price?

    There is none. The introductory £49.99 first-year price applies to new subscribers and runs at our discretion (currently through 2026). After the first year, the price moves to the standard £69.99 a year. We will tell you in writing 30 days before any renewal.

    One plan. Everything in.
