Three things worth printing, all free, none of them behind an email form. Built for two adults splitting a home between them rather than for a kids reward chart.
Written by the team at Lyven · page last updated 18 September 2026.
A one page grid with four columns: the job, who owns it, how often it comes round, and a weight in minutes. Totals at the bottom of each column, which is the part that does the work. Blank rows, so you fill in your own household.
Best for: writing the split down once you have agreed it.
Every job it takes to run a home, grouped into five areas, with frequency and effort weight against each. Two pages. Print two copies, fill them in separately, then compare, which is where the useful conversation starts.
Best for: finding out what you are actually running between you.
A single sheet explaining what the mental load is, what it costs, and the difference between helping and owning. Written to hand to someone rather than to argue with them.
Best for: the conversation itself.
Because a printable behind a sign-up is not really free, and because the problem these address does not need an app to be worth solving. Print them, use them with a pen, and if you never touch Lyven that is a perfectly good outcome.
If you do want the version that maintains itself, that is what we build. The free Split Check does the weighting and the totals in about two minutes, and the free tools page lists everything else on the site that costs nothing.
Two minutes, no account, and it weights the jobs rather than counting them.
