Hellopost is a calmer way to live together. Instead of texting back and forth about who's home, who's busy, or who needs quiet, everyone in your house shares a simple status. You open the app and see what's going on, without asking and without interrupting anyone. Post what you're up to in one tap. Working, cooking, on a walk, out of the house, or anything you want to write yourself. Your housemates see it the moment they open the app. When you need to concentrate, set yourself to "Unavailable" or turn on "I need quiet." Everyone in your house knows to give you space, so you can protect your focus without having to text or explain. Save the statuses you post most as templates. The next time you're heading out or starting a work block, it's one tap to let everyone know. Hellopost works with just two people, so you can start with one housemate and add more whenever you like. Features: - Shared status feed so everyone stays in the loop - Unavailable and quiet modes to protect deep work time - One tap status posting with custom statuses - Saved templates for the things you do often - Simple reactions so a quick acknowledgement replaces a reply - Free to start, with no setup or sign up hoops A more peaceful home starts with everyone knowing what's going on.
