Community app · Canada

Built for the people two streets away.

A community app is only as good as how close its members are. Here is how Haven opens, community by community.

What is a community app, and how is it different from social media?

A community app connects people who live near each other for practical support — a pickup, a meal, an hour of childcare — rather than connecting strangers by interest across the internet.

The measure is not how many members it has. It is whether the person who answers can actually get to you.

Why local beats large

A national group with fifty thousand members can answer a question in seconds and cannot help you at 5pm on a Tuesday. A village of eighty people two streets away can.

Starting small, on purpose

Haven opens one community at a time. The first villages open on Ontario, British Columbia, in fall 2026 — the Greater Toronto Area — with a founding cohort of local mothers.

How the next community is chosen

By where people are already waiting. When you join the waitlist you can tell us where you live, and that genuinely decides the order — we open where there are already enough neighbours to make a village work.

  • Haven App Inc. is a Canadian company
  • Canadian privacy protocols (PIPEDA)
  • Canadian crisis resources built in — 911 and 988
  • Canadian partner organizations, each vetted in five steps
Questions

Good to know.

What is a community app?

An app that connects people who live near each other for practical, local support — rather than connecting people by interest across the whole internet.

Is Haven available across Canada?

Not yet. Haven opens community by community, starting in Ontario in fall 2026. Joining the waitlist and telling us where you live helps decide which community opens next.

Why open one city at a time?

A local network only works once enough people nearby have joined. Launching everywhere at once produces empty villages in every city instead of a working one in a single place.

Who is in a village

A village is more than mothers — it is everyone nearby with an hour to spare.
