Family Coverage App - GapNest

GapNest is a family coverage app that helps you see empty gaps at home and lock who stays. It is a planning tool for households that share childcare, elder check-ins, pet coverage, or simply “who is home this afternoon?” coordination without endless group-chat archaeology. WHO IT IS FOR Parents coordinating handoffs, multi-generational homes, shared custody logistics, roommate households with dependents, and caregivers who need a clearer picture of coverage windows. If your week has holes — school pickup, late meetings, travel days — GapNest is built to make those holes visible. WHAT “COVERAGE” MEANS HERE Coverage is about people and time: who can be present, who is away, and where the unprotected gaps are. GapNest is not a GPS ankle monitor and not a substitute for emergency services. It is a planner that turns fuzzy assumptions (“I thought you were home”) into an explicit stay plan. KEY CAPABILITIES • See empty home gaps across the days you care about • Assign and lock who stays for a window • Keep the household aligned on the plan • Use free limits that let a small group try the workflow • Upgrade to Pro for alert-oriented and expanded planning features as shown in-app FREE TIER Free includes room to try GapNest with up to 3 people and 3 days of the planning experience (as presented in the product). That is enough to validate whether your household will actually use a shared coverage board. Free is intentionally honest: small scope, real workflow. PRO Pro is for families that want ongoing planning with alerts and fewer constraints. Exact alert types and limits are listed before purchase so you are not guessing. Pro does not claim to magically know someone arrived home unless your chosen workflow and device permissions support that signal. HOW FAMILIES USE IT 1. Create or join your household space. 2. Add the people who share coverage responsibility. 3. Mark when the home would otherwise be empty. 4. Lock who stays for each gap. 5. Adjust when meetings run long or school schedules change. 6. Use Pro alerts if your plan depends on timely reminders. TYPICAL SCENARIOS • Two working parents splitting WFH days • A teen home alone for a short window with a neighbor backup • Grandparents covering after school on Tuesdays • A pet that cannot be left beyond a known limit • Travel weeks where coverage must be explicit PRIVACY AND TRUST GapNest works best when the household agrees on transparency norms. Only include people who should see the plan. It is a coordination surface, not a covert tracking product. Follow your family’s boundaries and local rules around minors’ data. WHAT GAPNEST IS NOT Not a medical alert pendant. Not a replacement for 911 / local emergency numbers. Not a promise that every member will open the app on time. Good coverage still needs human follow-through. SUPPORT Email [email protected] for household setup or Pro questions. GapNest — family coverage planning to see empty home gaps, lock who stays, try free with 3 people / 3 days, and use Pro when you want alerts and ongoing planning. WEEKLY RHYTHM Many families skim GapNest on Sunday night, lock the obvious gaps, and adjust midweek when meetings slip. The value is less about fancy charts and more about fewer surprised “wait, nobody is home?” moments on Wednesday afternoon. SHARED CUSTODY AND BLENDED HOMES Clarity reduces conflict. When coverage is written down, assumptions shrink. Still keep sensitive negotiations in the right channel — GapNest is for operational coverage, not legal custody filings. ALERTS WITH CARE Pro alerts help when someone needs a nudge. They should not become noise. Configure only the reminders your household will respect, otherwise people mute everything.
