Help us launch the app kens need
We are building a mobile app for Hashomer Hatzair: events, attendance, messaging, notifications, and roles for madrichim and hanichim — starting at Ken Sofia, designed to grow with other branches.
אפליקציה אחת לתנועה — פתוחה, שקופה, וממומנת על ידי הקהילה.
Donors receive access to beta testing and pro-rated free usage when the app launches, based on the amount contributed.
First-year budget
Transparent breakdown: store accounts, hosted database and authentication, and build infrastructure. Amounts are based on public list pricing (Apple Developer Program, Google Play, Supabase, Expo EAS).
Where contributions go
Estimated first-year costs by category. Figures may change as scope or vendor pricing changes.
Why invest
Built for kvutzot, roles, ken-wide communication, and weekly madrich workflows — not a generic group chat.
- Movement-owned direction — extendable, no unnecessary vendor lock-in.
- Expo and Supabase — a stack the next tech team can maintain and audit.
- Scales beyond one city — one codebase, more kens when you are ready.
- Funding listed above — accounts, hosting, and shipping the app.
Partners and kens
Alumni, parents, partner organizations, and other kens can sponsor a line item or support the general pool. Named recognition is optional and opt-in only.
Preview
Interface previews from real devices; final release may differ.
Donations and contact
For bank details, sponsorship, or questions, reach out through your ken, shlichut, or the project lead coordinating this campaign.
This is a serious, long-term project — not a one-off experiment. We are committed to putting a real app in the hands of our kens and will keep working through funding, partnerships, and steady development until it is a reality.
