A family planner for people whose week isn’t Monday to Friday.
Helg lets a shift worker plan the household on the one day that’s actually theirs. Everyone in the family captures what needs doing as it comes up; on a pass day you choose — after the last of three twelves, say — you decide it all at once, against the hours your week really has rather than the calendar’s 168.
Built around the hours you actually have
Most planners assume a nine-to-five. Helg starts from a weekly hours budget you set, so a week of nights isn’t measured against a week of days. When you’ve promised more than it holds, you see it before the week is gone.
- Pick your pass day; change it when your rota changes.
- Capture from your phone between shifts; nothing has to be decided then.
- Start-by dates for things with long lead times, so the appointment gets booked before the window closes.
- Quiet hours, so reminders don’t wake you after a night shift.
When you’re slammed
A partner can be your co-pilot and run the week while you’re on a stretch of shifts, and family members can take whole tasks or single steps off you.
