Safe zones (geofences)
Draw a circle or polygon around any place that matters. Get a notification when your kid arrives or leaves.
A safe zone is a place where you want HaevenX to ping you whenever a family member crosses the boundary. Most parents set up at least three: home, school, and one for after-school activities (sports, friend's house, work).
Creating a safe zone
From your family dashboard, tap Safe zones, then + New zone. You'll see a map centered on your last known location.
- Drag the map until your target is in the middle.
- Choose either a circle (drag the radius handle to size it) or polygon (tap to drop boundary points, minimum three).
- Name it (Home, School, Soccer practice).
- Choose which family members it applies to (default: all).
- Tap Save zone.

What you'll see when someone crosses
The instant a family member's GPS shows them entering or leaving a zone, you get a push notification:
"Sarah arrived at School at 8:14 AM"
The notification deep-links into your family dashboard so you can see the exact location and the time they crossed.
Tips
- Polygons beat circles for buildings on busy streets. A circle that covers your school may also cover the bus stop across the road, generating false enter/leave events as your kid waits for the bus. Draw a polygon along the school's actual property line to avoid that.
- Don't overlap zones. If two zones overlap and a family member walks through both at once, you'll get two notifications. Keep the boundaries separate where you can.
- Mute notifications on a zone you no longer want alerts for (e.g., the kid's school during summer break). The zone stays drawn; the notifications pause.
Deleting a zone
Open the zone from the safe-zones list, scroll to the bottom, tap Delete zone. There's no undo, but you can recreate it from the same map view if you change your mind.
