A NOTE FROM OUR FOUNDER
Life’s biggest moments were never meant to be carried alone.
When our first child, Harrison, was stillborn, our village showed up with incredible love and generosity. A meal train became a light in a period of darkness. But managing the coordination of that care became an invisible, guilt-ridden burden. Answering calls, arranging visits, repeating our needs, receiving so much more than we needed. Our village's instinct to care was beautiful and intact. What was missing was infrastructure to make it possible.
I built Herde for everyone navigating pivotal transitions and the villages supporting them. To set your preferences once, and let your people show up powerfully. To remove the guesswork from giving, and make receiving feel personal. Because the instinct to care is never the problem, people just need the infrastructure to act on it properly. Herde is dedicated to our village, who carried us through - and to Harrison, the forever light of our lives.
good questions
-
Herde is a care coordination app for your modern-day village. It brings meals, everyday help, preferences, and the people who care about you into one place — so you can spend less time coordinating and more time being cared for.
-
Yes. You can build a herde for yourself or for someone you love. Gather their village, share what would help, and make it easier for friends and family to pitch in. You can invite the beneficiary to the herde to know what is coming, when it should arrive and who it is coming from.
-
Not at all. Meals are one way to help, but care looks different for everyone. Herde also helps coordinate groceries, rides, childcare, pet care, and other everyday support. There is also a section for other ways to support because we know care doesn’t always fit into a slot.
-
Once you’ve created your herde in the app, share its invitation code with friends and family by clicking the share button or copying the code. They can join your herde, see the details, find a way to show up and continue to share with more people.
-
Herde is available now on the Apple App Store for iPhone. Use any “Download herde” button on this page to find the app.
