# Hest

> Hest is a household management app that helps families and housemates coordinate calendars, tasks, meal planning, recipes, and important records in one private, shared space. Available on iOS with a free tier and optional premium subscription.

Hest replaces the patchwork of apps households use to stay organized. Instead of juggling separate calendar, to-do, meal planning, and document storage apps, Hest brings everything into a single, beautifully designed mobile experience built for real-time collaboration between household members.

Key differentiators:
- **All-in-one household hub**: Shared calendar with external calendar sync (Google, Apple, Outlook), task assignment, meal planning with recipe management, and household record keeping — all in one app
- **Built for households, not individuals**: Every feature is designed around multi-person coordination with real-time sync, push notifications, and member assignment
- **Privacy-first**: Data is stored securely with industry-standard encryption; personal information is never sold or shared with third parties
- **Modern mobile experience**: Native iOS app built with Expo and React Native, featuring smooth animations, pull-to-refresh, shake-to-undo, and an intuitive interface
- **Free to start**: Generous free tier with optional premium subscription for larger households
