Questions

FAQ

Why is it called Hearth?

A hearth is the heart of a home — the warm center where a family gathers. The name reflects the app's purpose: not a productivity tool, but a place that feels like home.

When will it be publicly available?

Hearth is currently in active beta with a small testing group. Follow the Whimsilogical Substack for release announcements.

Will it stay free?

The core app will be free. Pricing for any future premium features hasn't been decided yet.

Is my family's data private?

Yes. Hearth syncs your family's data securely through Supabase. Everything is encrypted in transit. Only family members you invite can access your Hearth.
