Welcome to CareHaven
CareHaven is a privacy-first iOS app for the families and friends caring for someone with complex needs. If you are looking after a person with autism, epilepsy, cerebral palsy, Down syndrome, a feeding difficulty, or any mix of conditions, this app is built for you, not for a clinic.
The job CareHaven sets for itself is simple to say and hard to do: carry the mental load. That is the constant background work of remembering medications, spotting patterns, planning ahead, and keeping it all straight in your head. CareHaven tries to take that weight on itself, not pile more on. It speaks to you in plain language, the way a friend would, not in medical jargon.
Everything stays on your device. Your care data is not sent to a server, and the app works without an account. You stay in control of what is shared and with whom. CareHaven is in TestFlight beta now, with an App Store launch coming.
Current beta: Build 69 is the current build. Start with What’s new if you want the short version of what changed most recently.
