Lyven is a household app for couples that splits the home fairly: single owner per job, no scoreboard. Then it helps you keep the split running, with a shared calendar, meals, shopping and projects in the same app. Ownership stays where you put it, so two careers and one home don't quietly fall to one person. See how the work divides between you now, then keep it fair.
Two minutes. No sign-up to see your split.
The split is where you start. The app is where it lives: a ten-minute Sunday ritual, then a week that quietly runs itself. It's what households are using right now.
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 ahead in one sitting: dinners, who's out, what's coming up. The app takes it from there.
Every job is a card with one clear owner and a shared definition of done. The split is weighted by real effort, with no points and no scoreboard.
The week or the month, with school holidays, who's away and what's due, beside who owns what. It keeps the split running.
Plan the week and the ingredients flow straight onto the shop.
Groceries in sync on both phones, shop several lists in one trip, each keeping its owner.
Break a big job into steps and share them, one person holds the thread.
A quiet heads-up when something's due or the check-in's open. Never a scoreboard.

Free to use. Set your home up now and it becomes a Foundation Member.
Running a home is real work, invisible, unconsciously shared, and easy to argue about because no one can quite see it. Lyven turns it into something you can look at together and agree on.
Every job has a single person who carries it, not a roster that hands the mental load back and forth until it goes grey. Someone can step in for a night; ownership never moves.
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.
Every split drifts. Ours doesn't, because the split runs through the everyday: groceries, meals and the week ahead quietly keep ownership exactly where you put it.
The outer ring is how the work divides right now. The inner ring is the split you'd choose if you set it on purpose. The gap between them is the conversation worth having.
Most couples have never actually measured how the work divides. They just feel it. The Split Check shows you for real, with a few quick questions.
A free 2-minute tool: see your split, no sign-up.
The spreadsheet, the shared note, the big fair conversation. They all work for a while, then quietly slide back to one person carrying it. The decay isn't a bug. It's what household systems do.
Lyven's answer is the part nothing else has: the split becomes wired into how you run your home together. Keeping the home running is keeping the split alive.
For decades, Australian families have shifted toward both partners working, and increasingly, both full-time. For most households, a second income isn't a choice anymore. It's how the bills get paid.
But running a home takes as much work as it ever did. When both people work full-time, that work doesn't vanish. It lands on whoever isn't looking. Lyven makes sure it's shared on purpose, so two full lives actually fit under one roof.
Lyven is free to use, and you can set your home up right now. While Foundation membership is open, every home that's set up becomes a Foundation Member: everything Lyven does on the day paid plans launch stays free for that home for life, and nobody is ever charged without choosing to. Spots are limited, and membership closes when paid plans launch. It's our thank you for being early.

No. Lyven weights every job by the time and effort it really takes, then shows your real balance. A 60/40 split can be exactly right for your household, fair is the split you choose on purpose, not an even count of tasks.
Unlike a shared to-do list, every job on Lyven has one clear owner rather than a roster that hands the mental load back and forth. The split stays wired into how you run your home, groceries, meals and the week ahead, so it doesn't quietly drift back onto one person.
A ten-minute ritual you do 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 ahead in one sitting: dinners, who's out, what's coming up. The app carries that plan through the days.
