Whether you're a helper tracking your earnings or a family managing pay, Hateno gives both sides a shared, transparent record — no spreadsheets, no guesswork.
Get StartedHelpers wonder what they're owed. Families lose track of what they've paid. Both sides rely on memory instead of records — until it becomes a problem.
No running balance, no way to verify hours, no record to show what's pending or paid.
Cash, Venmo, mental math — it's easy to lose track of who's been paid, how much, and when.
When tax season arrives or a disagreement surfaces, there's nothing to reference — just memory.
Families add helpers and share a QR code. Helpers scan it to link up. No accounts or emails required.
Helpers log hours from their phone. Families review and approve — or set auto-approve for trusted helpers.
Both sides see the same running balance, payment history, and records. One source of truth.
Helpers log simple hours or detailed start/end times with breaks. Families review and approve.
Either side can record payments — Cash, Zelle, Venmo, Check, or Bank Transfer. Every transaction logged.
See at a glance who's overdue. Gentle reminders escalate so nobody falls through the cracks.
Helpers working for multiple families see everything in one dashboard. Families manage independently.
One app for both families and helpers. Switch roles if you're both. No separate downloads.
Helpers see earnings across households. Families see cost breakdowns. Both get clear trends.
Set weekly hour thresholds and overtime multipliers. The math happens automatically.
Generate a code, helper scans it, done. No emails or accounts required to get started.
Hateno isn't a payroll tool or a time clock. It's a shared space where families and helpers build transparency — so the relationship stays about care, not accounting.
Mark trusted helpers so their hours count immediately — no bottleneck.
Every action logged — who approved what, when, and why. Full accountability.
Both sides see the same record. No discrepancies, no "he said, she said."
Named after Hateno Village from The Legend of Zelda — a cozy little town where everyone trades services and helps each other out. That felt right for an app about the people who help make a house a home.
