What TestFlight is
When the open beta starts, you'll get CareHaven through TestFlight. TestFlight is Apple's official app for trying out beta versions of apps before they reach the App Store. It's free, it's made by Apple, and it's already trusted by millions of testers.
Here's how it will fit together once the beta is open:
- The first time you join a beta, TestFlight installs itself on your iPhone (if it isn't already there).
- From then on, TestFlight is where you tap to install CareHaven and to get each new beta update.
- We review each new build with Apple before outside testers can install it, which usually takes under a day after a build is ready.
Being in the beta means you're seeing CareHaven a little ahead of everyone else, and your feedback genuinely shapes what ships. If something feels off or you can't find what you're looking for, that's exactly what we want to hear. See Giving feedback for how to reach us.
Every feature is unlocked in the beta
During the open beta, every feature is turned on for testers, so testers can explore the whole app without anything held back. Testers start on the top tier, so the full app is unlocked.
CareHaven will have tiers down the road — Free, Plus, and Family — but during the beta, testers get everything unlocked regardless.
What you need
CareHaven runs on a fairly recent iPhone, and a few of the smarter touches need a newer model. The short version is on the What you need to run CareHaven page. It's worth a quick look before the open beta starts.
After you install
Once the open beta starts and CareHaven is on your iPhone, opening it for the first time is calm and quick. You can either:
- Try it with demo data first. A made-up family is already filled in, so you can wander through every part of the app without typing anything. See Exploring with demo data.
- Set up the person you actually care for. A gentle, one-screen-at-a-time setup gets you going, and only the name is required. See Setting up for the first time.
Either way, there's no account to create, and your care log lives on your device and, if you turn on sync, you choose which caregivers to invite and which sections to share. For the full picture, see Privacy comes first.
When the App Store version arrives
The public App Store release is in the works Coming soon. When it lands, anyone will be able to download CareHaven the usual way, with no beta link needed. If you're waiting for the open beta to start, the beta list is the quickest way to hear about it.
