Haevn for single parents: one place for the whole household
Last verified
Running a household on your own is still running a household. Haevn keeps the family calendar, lists, meals, chores and home admin in one place, so you are not holding it all in your head. You can invite the people who help, such as grandparents or a childminder, and set who sees what.
There were 3.2 million lone-parent families in the UK in 2025, 16% of all families, according to the Office for National Statistics.
What does a single parent need from a family organiser app?
- One calendar for school, clubs, work and appointments, on every phone in the house
- Lists that anyone in the household can add to, from the shopping to the school bag
- Meals planned for the week, with allergies kept as a hard constraint
- Chores for the children, so you can see who has done what
- One place for bills, appliances, manuals and home documents
- Help from family and friends, without sharing everything
How do you share the load when you are the only adult at home?
Start with the people who already help. Invite them in People and set who sees what, so a grandparent can see the school pick-ups without seeing everything else. Put the regular jobs in Chores, so older children know what is theirs. Keep the week's meals in Meal Planner and the shopping in Lists, so whoever is helping can pick up where you left off.
What if the children's other parent is involved?
Haevn's Co-Parenting space gives both parents a shared calendar for two homes, shared expenses with any split, and messages that cannot be edited or deleted. One subscription covers both parents. See how Haevn works for co-parents, co-parenting schedules explained and how UK co-parenting apps compare.
How much does Haevn cost?
Haevn is £6.99 a month or £69.99 a year for the whole household, up to 8 members, with every feature included. It is 14 days free, no card needed.
