Hōbi
See who your child is becoming
Free · Designed for iPhone. Not verified for macOS.
Your daughter shared her lunch with a kid she just met. You weren't there. Your mother was.
Your son got scared at the top of the slide. Stood there for a long time. Went down anyway. You didn't see it. His teacher did.
Your niece sat down next to a crying boy in the cafeteria and said nothing. Just sat there. That was enough. You'll never hear about it.
Every day, the people who love your child see something small and true. And by tomorrow, it's gone. Not because they didn't care. Because there was nowhere for it to go. It lived in a group text, or a passing comment at pickup, or nobody's phone at all.
Hōbi gives it a place.
The grandparent, the aunt, the godparent, the coach, the neighbor, everyone who ever loved someone else's kid and never said it out loud, they can say it now. A few seconds at a time.
The teacher who knows your child in ways you never will finally has somewhere to put the small things that don't fit on a report card.
And you, the parent lying awake wondering if you're doing any of this right, get to read the good your child did when you weren't in the room, told to you by the people who were.
When a week gets heavy, a ride to practice, a meal, someone to cover pickup, your people can step in. Not the whole world. Just the ones who already love your kid. In one place, instead of five group texts and a prayer.
And on a Tuesday, when your child earns a trip to the zoo because the people who love them kept noticing their creativity, they'll know they didn't earn it by asking. They earned it by being themselves, and the village saw it.
- A private group of the people who love your child
- Good moments, written down in seconds
- Rewards your child earns and looks forward to
- Help when your people need to step in
- And every week, a letter about who your child is becoming, written from everyone who sees them
One person sees courage. Another sees kindness. Another sees patience no one knew was there. No single person holds the whole picture. Together, they do.

Did you know a group of geese raising their young will babysit each other's goslings in one big flock called a crèche? Honestly, geese had the village figured out before we did.
Where were we. Right, the update...
Hōbi 1.1 makes it easier for your Circle to step in when help is needed.
- Share Help requests directly in Messages with a warm Hōbi card. Switch children or ask for help right from the Messages extension.
- Share Help so the whole village can respond, even without an iPhone. Text messages include the full request with date and address, not a teaser. Email a link when someone outside your Circle should confirm from the web.
- Add moments faster from App Shortcuts, widgets, Control Center, and the Lock Screen. Jump into a child's Circle from the Care Circle widget on your Home Screen.
- Post the same Help ask to more than one child's Circle when you manage multiple children, with a calm prompt to keep linked requests in sync when you edit or remove them.
- Hōbi helpers notice brave and learning moments more clearly, with new presets to match what you actually saw.
- Enjoy clearer Help details, steadier notification settings, and small UI polish throughout.
