Welcome to OhanaNOW!
As Lilo and Stitch have taught us, "Ohana means family and family means nobody gets left behind or forgotten." Ohana is the Hawaiian concept of our family as an extended support ecosystem of those we are born into and those we choose.
When we have Ohana, we share the loads and the joys of daily life - from the school pickups, to sports drop offs and organizing meal trains for a friend - we want to strength our ties. To each other and to our communities.
Our platform strengthens through technology: networking Ohanas together into super support groups and revitalising Hyperlocalism and lifestyle businesses and allow us to collaborate in community and get more done, together.

Our Mission & Vision
Chosen Communities and Groups
We're not just another app - we're your digital village! OhanaNOW! supercharges your real-world Ohana (extended family) connections, making it easier to coordinate childcare, share resources (gear, guitars, good food), and build trust with the people who actually matter in your life and in real life!
Collaborative & Circular Economy
Remember when neighbours helped neighbours? We do too! OhanaNOW! turns "many hands make light work" from an old saying into your everyday reality. Connect with your community to tackle everything from carpools to clothing swaps- because life's better when we're in it together.
Equitable Economic Empowerment
Did you know women handle up to 75% of unpaid household labour? OhanaNOW! helps by spreading caregiving across your trusted network (neighbours, other parents, relatives) letting everyone get time back. Plus, our platform helps anyone launch micro-businesses right in their neighbourhood, fostering economic pathways particularly for those outside of normal 9-5
Trusted Technology Framework
Own your data, own your destiny. Our privacy tools give you control. We are especially concerned with creating solutions for younger and older people for their online safety. We're a trusted platform that serves members, not self-ish profit first shareholders. As a Social Enterprise, we focus on sustainable solutions, in community with Cooperative business ethos.

Future Vision
Imagine a resilient, thriving neighbourhood where people say G'day, know each other's names and coffee orders, where resources flow freely and no one is left behind. We're building toward smart city and building integration, climate progress and new economic models focused on trusted technology that makes life work better for you and those you love where you live
The OhanaNOW! App How It Works
Organise Life
OhanaNOW! works as a household "operating system." Powered by AI for efficiency while maintaining complete data control, OhanaNOW! brings together calendar, tasks, and coordination seamlessly.
Saving time, money and stress!
Build Connection
We create pathways for individuals and close-knit groups to organise, connect with like-minded people, and access local council services and businesses - strengthening the connective tissue of our communities and neighbourhoods.
Share a Yarn - be it a story or a scarf!
Thrive Together
Connect with neighbours, farmers and local producers in a vibrant hyperlocal economy where wealth stays in place, and micro-businesses become networked, social, inclusive and sustainable.
