Our home, organised — in one calm, shared place.
Hearth is a private, thoughtful home operations workspace designed to help households coordinate everyday life smoothly. Rather than juggling scattered spreadsheets, physical calendars, note apps, and messaging threads, Hearth brings the rhythms of your home together under one calm, unified roof.
Hearth is organized into dedicated, focused workspaces, each tailored to a natural household routine:
A respectful, transparent way to manage household help, attendance, and fair compensation without manual math or forgotten records:
- Interactive Daily Calendar: Mark attendance at a glance — Present, Leave, Paid Leave, or Weekly Off.
- Tailored Compensation Models:
- Daily Rate with Paid Leave Allowance (automatic deductions only after allowed leaves are used)
- Fixed Monthly Salary (flat monthly retainers)
- Per-Item Logging (track ironing, laundry, or piece-work with custom unit pricing)
- Adjustments & Advances: Record mid-month salary advances, festival bonuses, and tips with clear accounting.
- Instant Payment Receipts: Generate clean, breakdown-ready payment summaries to share when settling monthly wages.
A flexible menu planning system built for the way real homes eat:
- Accordion Weekly View: Plan daily meals across customizable time slots (Breakfast, Lunch, Evening Snacks, Dinner).
- Baseline Household Routine: Set a recurring baseline menu that automatically fills in unless you choose to override a specific day.
- Intelligent Dish Library: Keep track of household favorites, discover frequently cooked meals, and quickly autocomplete dishes.
- Cook-Ready Sharing: Generate formatted meal schedules ready to send directly to your cook via WhatsApp or print for the kitchen.
- Private & Shared: Built for households to run together with complete trust and clarity.
- Zero Calculation Headaches: Automatic math for salaries, allowances, and daily tracking so you never have to second-guess numbers.
- Calm, Human Design: Warm typography, serene color schemes, and seamless dark mode support designed to feel like a cozy home, not a sterile enterprise dashboard.
- Extensible Workspaces: Designed from the ground up as a growing household hub, allowing additional everyday home management tools to integrate naturally over time.
