## What is Havara?

Havara is the private home for your HOA or residents' community. Everything that used to be scattered across group texts, email threads, and lost PDFs, finally in one place and on the record.

Communities run on Havara by board invitation. Once you're in:

- Announcements that stick. Board notices with acknowledgements, so the people who need to see something actually do.
- Community and group chat. Neighborhood-wide, board-only, and small-group conversations, with photos and direct messages.
- Documents you can find. CC&Rs, bylaws, minutes, and budgets in one library, readable offline.
- Ask, with citations. A built-in assistant that answers questions from your community's governing documents and cites the source. It only uses your documents, and only what your role is allowed to see.
- Events and amenities. A shared community calendar and amenity booking for the clubhouse, pool, courts, and more.
- Emergency alerts. Fast neighborhood safety broadcasts when they matter.
- Vendors and quotes. A community-vetted vendor directory.
- Board tools. Member management, content moderation, and governance, with an audit trail.

Private by design: every community's data is isolated, access follows your role, and you can export or delete your data anytime. No ads, no tracking, and we never sell your information.

Communities are private: joining one takes a board invitation or an approved request. Ask your HOA board for an invitation, or start a community for your neighborhood and invite your board.

## Version history (last 3 releases)

### 2.2 — 2026-09-25

Replace a document and keep its history. Boards can mark an updated document as replacing the old one; residents see one current copy with earlier versions listed underneath, and Ask answers only from the current one.

Declared interests. A board member can declare an interest in a vendor on the vendor's page, and then steps back from deciding on that vendor.

Clearer architectural review dates. Requests show the date the board has to decide by.

A more private member directory. It is marked for members of the association only, and opening many profiles in a row is limited.

A clearer vendor directory. Listings show which businesses paid for placement and what Havara checked.

Boards can create, rename, archive and restore chat channels.

Accessibility and reliability fixes throughout.

### 2.1 — 2026-09-04

A guided tour. Open the app and a short walk through the five tabs shows you what is where, in under a minute. You can take it again any time from Profile.

Vendors, properly. Each business has one profile, categories a board can route work to, quote requests, and a conflict of interest disclosure with enforced recusal when a board member is connected to a vendor.

Your ledger on your phone. Dues and payments for your own household, without opening the web console.

Reports you have filed. Follow what happened to a message you reported, under Profile.

More than one community. If you belong to several, switch between them by tapping the community name at the top of Home.

Invites that behave. Shareable codes, an honest preview of what you are joining, and you can withdraw a request that is still pending.

More control over your own things. Leave a community, delete a document, edit a request or a poll after submitting it, and undo the actions that used to be one way.

Plus a long list of fixes across chat, events, documents, amenities and onboarding.
