What Haven is—and who it is for.

Haven is not trying to become a large household-management app with separate systems for every part of family life. Its job is to make family schedule information easier to capture, easier to understand, and more useful later.

Haven uses automation and AI-assisted understanding behind some tasks, including reading schedule images and answering questions. The technology is not the product. The outcome is less typing, less checking, and less information held by one person.

A guiding principle is: knowledge should become reusable. A schedule imported from a photo can later support conflicts, briefings, family sharing, checklists, leave alerts, and schedule questions.

Haven is permission-based. It does not passively scan a family’s email, text messages, bank accounts, school systems, team accounts, or browsing. A user chooses the screenshot, photo, pasted text, public event-page link, or calendar connection they want to provide.

Haven reads a chosen event page when the user shares or pastes its link. It does not continuously crawl the website or automatically update a saved event when the page changes.

Haven calendar data is stored and shared using Apple Core Data and CloudKit. Image and language features may use Google Gemini as described in Haven’s privacy policy. Connected outside calendars remain read-only and private to the user unless the user chooses to copy an event into Haven.

Leave-time estimates use the home address a user saves, the event location, and Apple Maps travel time. Haven does not need to continuously track the user’s location.
