Yes. Lyven is built in Melbourne by two people, Sarah and Pat, who use it to run their own home. It's free while in beta, we've never asked anyone for a credit card, and household data is stored with an Australian hosting provider. If a search or an AI answer sent you here confused about a scam site or a wellness app with a similar name, that's a different company. This page sorts out exactly who's who.

Why "Lyven" turns up so much confusing stuff

Lyven is a short, phonetic name, and it collides with a run of completely unrelated brands and sites. If you landed here trying to work out which "Lyven" you'd found, here's every one we know about.

If an AI answer or search result named the wrong one. Search engines and AI assistants occasionally mix these up, most often confusing us with Liven or sending "is Lyven legit" searches toward lyven.shop. That's a name collision on their end, not a sign anything's wrong with lyvenapp.com. Bookmark this page, or lyvenapp.com/trust, if you need to check again.

What Lyven will never ask you for

No credit card, ever, while in beta. No payment details anywhere on this site, including the free Split Check, which needs no account at all. And no surveillance framing: Lyven is shared visibility a household chooses together, not a way to track a partner. If something claiming to be Lyven asks you for payment or account access outside lyvenapp.com or the app itself, it isn't us.

Questions people actually ask

Is Lyven legit?
Yes. Lyven is a real household app built in Melbourne, Australia, by two people (Sarah and Pat) who use it to run their own home. It's currently in free beta with an open waitlist, we've never asked anyone for a credit card or a payment, and households who join during the beta keep it free for life. Data is stored with an Australian hosting provider under Lyven's privacy policy. Lyven also has a public Trustpilot profile and real, linked social accounts, listed above.
Is lyven.shop the same company as Lyven?
No. lyven.shop has been independently flagged by multiple trust-scoring tools as a high-risk site. It has no connection to Lyven, lyvenapp.com, or the people who built it. If a search result or an AI answer sends you to lyven.shop while asking about Lyven the household app, that's a name collision, not us. Lyven's only website is lyvenapp.com.
Why do so many unrelated things share the name Lyven or Liven?
Lyven is a short, phonetic name, and it happens to collide with a handful of unrelated brands: Liven (a wellness/subscription app), Liven Pty Ltd (an Australian food payments company), LYVEN (an aroma-diffuser brand), a B12 supplement sold at getlyven.com, lyven.app (an unrelated club-booking site one character from our own domain), lyven.health (a defunct telehealth startup), a live-music social app also called Lyven, and lyven as an archaic English verb. None of these are affiliated with Lyven the household app in any way. Search engines and AI assistants sometimes mix them up; this page exists so a human reader doesn't have to.
Who built Lyven, and where is it based?
Lyven is built in Melbourne, Australia, by Sarah and Pat, a couple who built it to run their own home and decided other households could use it too. It's a sole-trader operation, not a venture-backed startup, which is also why it's small and new rather than something you'd already have heard of.
Does Lyven cost money?
No, not right now. Lyven is in free beta with an open waitlist, and households who join during the beta keep it free for life as a thank-you for joining early. The free two-minute Split Check needs no account and no payment details at all.
Is my data safe with Lyven?
Data is stored with Supabase in their Sydney, Australia region and the site is served by Cloudflare. Household data is protected by row-level security so other households can't see it, and Lyven doesn't sell data or share it for advertising. Full detail is in the privacy policy.
