Hest Is Now on Android: Organize Your Household from Any Device
The wait is over. Hest, the all-in-one household management app for calendars, tasks, meal planning, and records, is officially available on the Google Play Store.
We've been hearing you, and today we're excited to announce that Hest is officially available on Android. 🎉
Since launching on iOS, thousands of households have used Hest to bring order to the chaos of everyday life. Shared calendars, task assignments, meal planning, recipe libraries, and household records are all available in one private, beautifully designed app. Now, every member of your household can join in, regardless of what phone they carry.
Why Android?
From day one, our most-requested feature wasn't a new screen or a fancy integration. It was "When is Hest coming to Android?"
We get it. Households aren't single-platform. You might be on an iPhone while your partner is on a Samsung Galaxy. Your college-age kid might have a Pixel. The reality of modern households is that people use different devices, and a household app only works when everyone can use it.
Today, that barrier is gone.
Everything You Love, Now on Android
The Android version of Hest isn't a stripped-down port. It's the full Hest experience, built on the same codebase with the same features, real-time sync, and attention to detail.
Here's what you get on day one:
📅 Shared Calendar with External Sync
Import your Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook events and see your entire household's schedule in one place. No more double-booking, no more "I didn't know you had plans."
✅ Task Management with Assignments
Create tasks, assign them to household members, set due dates, and get push notifications when things are created or completed. Everyone stays accountable.
🍽️ Meal Planning & Recipes
Plan your weekly meals, assign cooks, and link recipes from your personal recipe library. Go from "what's for dinner?" to a full plan in minutes.
📁 Household Records
Store warranties, insurance details, account numbers, and important documents in one secure, shared location. No more digging through email threads or kitchen drawers.
Seamless and Instant Cross-Platform Sync
The magic of Hest is that it doesn't matter who's on iOS and who's on Android. Everything syncs in real time. When someone adds an event, assigns a task, or updates the meal plan, every household member sees it instantly regardless of their device.
Your household data isn't locked to a platform. It's locked to your household.
Free to Download, Free to Start
Just like on iOS, Hest on Android is free to download with a generous free tier. You get full access to shared calendars, task management, meal planning, recipes, and household records. There are no ads and no data selling, just a clean, private experience for your household.
An optional premium subscription unlocks features for larger households, but most families will find everything they need in the free tier.
What Android Users Are Already Saying
We ran a closed beta with Android users ahead of today's launch, and the response was incredible:
"Finally, an app that actually lets my whole household stay organized, not just the iPhone users."
"The meal planning alone is worth it. But having tasks and calendar sync too? This replaced three apps for us."
"I've been waiting for this. My wife uses iOS, I'm on Android. Now we can finally coordinate without a group chat."
How to Get Started
Getting your household on Hest takes less than two minutes:
- Download Hest from the Google Play Store or the App Store
- Create your household and invite your members
- Start organizing: Add your first event, create a task, or plan this week's meals
It's that simple.
What's Next?
The Android launch is a milestone, but it's far from the finish line. We have a packed roadmap of features coming to both platforms, including:
- Grocery list integration with meal plans
- Recurring task templates for daily and weekly routines
- Household budgeting tools
- Widgets for quick at-a-glance info on your home screen
We build Hest based on real feedback from real households. If there's something you want to see, please reach out to us. We're listening.
