Getting started as a family master
Sign up, create your family group, invite the first member, set up your first safe zone. About ten minutes total.
HaevenX gives one parent in the household the role of family master. The master sees every family member on a live map, sends pings, sets safe zones, gets crash alerts, and manages billing. Everyone else in the family is a family member with a more limited view (their own location, their own activity, the SOS button).
This article walks you through the ten-minute setup that turns a fresh download into a working family safety net.
Step 1: download and sign up
Grab HaevenX from the App Store on iPhone, or use the web app at haevenx.com on Android or desktop (the Play Store listing is on the way). On first launch choose Sign Up, enter your email and a password, then verify the address from the email we send.

Step 2: enter your home address
HaevenX uses your home address to figure out which neighborhood you belong to and to anchor your default safe zone. Type the street address, pick the matching suggestion, and tap Confirm.
If you live in a neighborhood that has not yet hit the 150-resident activation threshold, you'll see a banner explaining the wait list. That's fine: the family features work immediately regardless of neighborhood status.
Step 3: create the family group
Open the Family tab, tap Start a family. The first three members are free. Members beyond three add $2.99 per month each, billed to the same card as your subscription.
Step 4: invite your first member
Tap Invite member. You can either share a join link by text/email or generate a six-digit code the kid enters in their own copy of HaevenX. The kid should:
- Install HaevenX on their phone.
- Open it and tap I have an invite.
- Paste the link or type the code.
- Grant the location, notifications, and motion permissions when iOS asks.

Within a minute of the kid finishing setup, you'll see them appear on your family map.
Step 5: set up your first safe zone
From your family dashboard, tap Safe zones, then + New zone. Drag the circle over your home (or draw a polygon for a precise boundary), name it Home, and save. From now on you'll get a notification the moment any family member arrives at or leaves home.
What's next
- Learn to send a ping or check-in when you want to know where your kid is right now.
- Set up crash detection for your teenage drivers.
- Read your first drive report after a family member's first car ride.
- Build your emergency plan so the on-duty patrol has the medical info they need if your kid presses SOS.
