Family safety app for iPhone and Android
Arrivals at school, home and after-school clubs, plus the routines that hold your week together, all in one calm place. Structure for younger kids, room to grow for older ones, and peace of mind for you.
Get a notification when someone gets to school, home or an after-school club, and when they head off again.
You’ll know they’ve arrived without having to ask, and they don’t have to remember to tell you.
Only arrivals and departures at the places you save are shared. Where someone goes in between stays private.
How it works
Search an address, postcode or school name, then set how close counts as “there”.
You’ll hear when someone arrives or leaves, even when the app’s closed.
Something like “Sam at School by 8:45, Mon–Fri”. You only need to do it once.
Routines
Just before 8:45, Sam gets a friendly “Heading to School soon?”. If he isn’t there in time, you’ll get an alert with where he was last seen, and Sam can let you know he’s okay with one tap.
Growing up
As kids get older, they want more say. With Family Haven they can suggest new places and routines, or ask to change a setting. Their requests show up together on your Home screen, so you can say yes or no whenever it suits you. They’ll hear back either way. You decide what each person can do, and can loosen things up as they grow.
Safety net
Most days you won’t need these. On the days you do, you’ll be glad they’re there.
Switch it on, and the people you pick hear when your phone drops to 15%, so a flat battery doesn’t cause a scare.
You’ll see when someone pauses sharing or turns location off, and can send a reminder to switch it back on.
If you haven’t heard from your child’s phone in over a day, we’ll let you know.
You’ll get a heads-up if Family Haven may have been removed from your child’s phone.

FAQ
They’ll see when you get to or leave one of your saved places, like home or school, plus any “I’m okay” check-ins. If you’ve paused sharing, they’ll see that too, along with when it’s back on.
Yes. Places keep working in the background. On some Android phones, battery saving can slow things down, and the app will let you know if that’s happening.
No. You make a short login code for them in the app, and they use that to sign in.
If you’ve allowed it, they can pause for 2 hours or until tomorrow. You’ll be told when it happens, and you can send them a reminder to switch it back on.
Family Haven works offline. Any changes are saved and sync up as soon as the phone’s back online.
