Find your fair.

Lyven is the household system that actually holds — so two careers and one home don't quietly fall to one person. See how the work really divides, then keep it that way.

Two minutes. No sign-up to see your split.

The split

Most splits are a feeling. This one you can see.

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.

One owner, always.

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.

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.

Every split drifts. Ours doesn't — because the split becomes your operating system: groceries, meals, the week ahead quietly keep ownership exactly where you put it.

Outer — today's split
Inner — your chosen fair
Find your fair

See where you are, decide where you want to be.

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.

Why this one holds

Every system holds for a month. Then it's one person again.

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.

Inside the beta

A calm home for everything it takes to run one.

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 beta households are using right now.

The heart of it

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 ahead in one sitting: dinners, who's out, what's coming up. The app takes it from there.

1 Mood & thanks 2 Reveal together 3 Plan the week

The week, laid out

Wake up already knowing the day — who's on, what's for dinner, what's due.

The deck

Every job is a card with one clear owner and a shared definition of done.

Living lists

Groceries in sync on both phones — shop several lists in one trip, each keeping its owner.

Meals → list

Plan the week and the ingredients flow straight onto the shop.

Projects

Break a big job into steps and share them — one person holds the thread.

Gentle nudges

A quiet heads-up when something's due or the check-in's open. Never a scoreboard.

The new normal

Two full-time incomes used to be rare. Now it's how homes run.

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.

Questions

Common questions

What is Lyven?

Lyven is a household-management app that measures how domestic work divides between two partners and keeps the split fair over time, so two careers and one home don't quietly fall to one person.

What is the Split Check?

The Split Check is a free, two-minute tool that shows how household work currently divides between partners, based on a few quick questions. It needs no sign-up.

Is Lyven free?

Lyven is in a free beta. Anyone can join the waitlist, and we open spots to new households in small waves. The Split Check is free to use with no account required.

Does a fair split mean 50/50?

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.

How is Lyven different from a chore app or shared to-do list?

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.

What is the weekly check-in?

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.

Is my data private?

Lyven is private by design with Australian hosting. The Split Check requires no account, and beta data is handled under Lyven's privacy policy.
