HelpCircle

When life gets heavy, share the load.

"Let me know if you need anything" becomes real tasks people can claim, and real decisions that only the people who care need to weigh in on. No more group-text chaos, no more pleasing everyone about everything.

Free to try. The people you invite never need an account.

Made for the moments that take a village

A hundred things need doing, and everyone wants to help. HelpCircle keeps it organized without making anyone feel like a spreadsheet.

Tasks people can claim

Post what needs doing: dinner Thursday, a ride to the service, watching the kids. Someone taps "I'll do it" and it's theirs. No duplicates, no wondering who has what.

Decisions for those who care

Everyone picks the topics they want a say in. The casket decision goes only to the people who asked for it, so the rest of the family isn't pulled into every choice.

Costs out in the open

Put a price on each option and set a budget. Everyone who wants to follow the money can see what's been decided and what's left.

Not everyone needs a vote on everything

When a family is grieving, trying to please every person on every decision wears everybody out. Most people only care about a few things: the music, the plot, the slideshow.

With HelpCircle, each person chooses what they want a say in, and what they'd rather leave to others. Decisions and discussion reach only the people who opted in.

How it works

Set up in a few minutes. Helpers join in a few seconds.

Start a Circle

Pick what's going on, like a loss, caregiving, a school event or a reunion. HelpCircle sets up the topics for you.

Share one link

Send it by text or email. People join with just their name, with no account and no app to install.

Everyone chooses their part

People claim tasks and pick the decisions they care about. You see who's helping with what, and what's still open.

One place for every kind of "can you help?"

HelpCircle isn't built for just one situation. Start whichever kind of Circle fits.

Loss and funerals

Meals, errands, service plans, and the many choices that come with them.

Caregiving

Appointments, visits and daily tasks shared by family and friends.

School and parenting

Pickups, carpools and volunteer slots, without the endless group chat.

Events and reunions

Potlucks, trips and celebrations where everyone brings something.
