Honeycomb: Shared Parenting

Honeycomb Labs

About this app

Build a supportive parent community in weeks, not years, with Honeycomb –– the app that helps parents have each other’s backs. Honeycomb makes it easy to put faces to names at pick up, share care on no school days, coordinate after-school activities with other families, and get together IRL.

An easy-to-use, private and free chat and collaboration app purpose-built for parents, Honeycomb helps you team up with your existing school or parent community to conquer day-to-day family life, together.

And for those parents who community-build for the rest of us –– we see you Room Parents, T-Ball coaches and carpool organizers! 👏🏼 –– Honeycomb is designed to be your sidekick. Let Honeycomb nudge for responses, send event and deadline reminders, and even make suggestions for ways to share the logistics of parenting. It’s #ParentLife in your pocket.

** A Rich, Visual Family Directory **
Make your classroom or parent community come alive thanks to rich family profiles organized in a beautiful directory. Put faces to names, and be in touch with the whole family –– not just one parent. Share useful information (like your kid’s allergies and playdate sickness policy) and find families you want to connect with.

** Topic-Based Group Chat **
Put an end to noisy parent email threads and chaotic text messages packed with unknown numbers. Stay sane with easy-to-follow group chats for your private directory, all organized by topic to minimize noise and maximize parent coordination. Message your entire class, a smaller group, or individual parents.

** Shared Group Calendars **
Lighten your mental load with a shared group calendar that makes it simple to join forces on activities and summer camps, share deets and shout-out deadlines (so no one forgets teacher training day again).

** Easy Events **
Ditch the scheduling and endless texting! Seamlessly plan group events from Honeycomb chat with a few taps. Then let Honeycomb do all the work: prompting for responses, giving deadlines and sending reminders.

** Drop Off Playdates When You Need Them **
Team up to give each other a break by swapping care with a trusted parent crew. Manage snow days with care swaps, and get #datenights without the babysitter.

Honeycomb is for pre-k through elementary school classroom communities. Once your classroom is set up, Honeycomb can grow to include your kid's clubs, activities, teams and any other parent community you are part of.

The secret to joyful parenting is shared parenting. The secret to joyful parenting is Honeycomb.

Ratings and reviews

The shared calendar is great! I love that you can chat with other families to set up carpools.

We use Honeycomb in my daughter's preK class and it makes it easy to get in touch and get to know all the fellow families at our school. I'm always forgetting parents' names so I love the photo directory!

This is a great app for coordinating school stuff and keeping in touch with other parents.
