Free, with no ads. Give every household job one owner, keep a shared grocery list on both phones, and plan the week together in a ten-minute Sunday check-in.
Lyven is a household planner for couples that shares the chores and the mental load fairly: one owner per job, no scoreboard.
Decide together who owns which household jobs, then keep it that way, so the home runs on both of you, not on whoever remembers first.
HOW THE SPLIT WORKS
• One owner, always. Every job has a single person who carries it, not a roster that hands the mental load back and forth. Someone can step in for a night; ownership never moves.
• Fair isn't 50/50. We weight every job by the time and effort it really takes, then show you the balance. 60/40 can be exactly right for you. It's a picture you choose together, never a scoreboard.
• It stays alive. Groceries, meals and the week ahead keep ownership exactly where you put it.
WHAT'S INSIDE
• The Sunday check-in. Ten minutes together at the end of the week. Each of you writes how you're really going and one thing you appreciated, sealed until you've both written, so no one just reacts to the other. Then you plan the week in one sitting: dinners, who's out, what's coming up.
• The deck. Every household job is a card with one clear owner and a shared definition of done.
• Living lists. A shared grocery list in sync on both phones, sorted by aisle. Shop several lists in one trip, each keeping its owner.
• Meals to list. Plan the week's dinners and the ingredients flow straight onto the shop.
• The week ahead. School runs, dinners and who's out, in one view.
• Gentle nudges. A quiet notification when something's yours today or the check-in's open, and nothing else.
Bigger jobs break into steps you can share, while one person holds the thread.
HOW IT'S DIFFERENT FROM A CHORE APP
Unlike a shared to-do list or a chore tracker, Lyven doesn't just remind whoever's turn it is. The person who owns a job does the noticing as well as the doing. There are no points, no rotation and no competition between partners. The split stays wired into how you run your home, so household chores don't quietly drift back onto one person.
WHO IT'S FOR
Couples running a busy home on two careers, often with young kids. Two working parents is now the norm: 73% of Australian couple families with young kids have both parents in work, up from 60% in 2005 (ABS, 2025). The work of running a home didn't shrink to fit. When both people work, it lands on whoever isn't looking. Lyven makes sure it's shared on purpose.
