Lyven VS RobiTasks

Lyven's answer

Couples and families sharing a home

RobiTasks's answer:

Homeowners and renters who want help with chores and are curious about home robots: busy families, pet owners, and smart-home fans. A second audience is robot makers, who partner with us to learn which chores households want done and what they’d pay.

Couples and families sharing a home

Lyven's answer

Every job in Lyven has exactly one owner, weighted by how much real effort it takes — not split evenly, not tracked on a points board. Instead of a scoreboard, partners do a weekly check-in to see how the load is actually landing. Most household apps either just list tasks (a shared to-do list) or turn chores into a competition (points, streaks, leaderboards); Lyven does neither.

RobiTasks's answer:

RobiTasks is the only place to set up your home for a household robot before you own one. You describe your rooms, your family and pets, and the things a robot must never touch. Then you type chores in plain words, and RobiTasks turns each one into a step-by-step plan tied to your actual rooms, with the robot skills it needs and a schedule.

Lyven's answer

Apps like Cozi and OurHome organize a family's shared calendar and lists but don't track who's actually doing the work. Apps built around scoreboards (a growing category) gamify chores instead of asking whether the split is fair. Lyven's Noticing Score weights each job by real effort and keeps that visible over time, so couples can see imbalance building before it becomes a fight — with a Split Check calculator to test it before committing.

RobiTasks's answer:

Chore apps like Sweepy and Tody make to-do lists for people. Robot apps only control the one robot you already own. RobiTasks plans chores for robots, works before you buy one, and isn’t tied to any single brand. On an iPhone Pro, you can scan each room in 3D with LiDAR, so plans are tied to your real room sizes and furniture. Other phones can add rooms with photos. It’s free, and your plans are saved for when supported robots arrive.

Lyven's answer

Built by Wylliott Labs, a two-person company in Melbourne with no outside investors — a couple who built the app they wanted for their own household, where noticing who's doing the mental load and physical work was the actual problem, not just remembering tasks.

RobiTasks's answer:

Humanoid and home robots are close to arriving in homes, but each one will show up knowing nothing about your house. We built RobiTasks so people can teach their future robot their home ahead of time. Along the way, it shows robot makers what households actually want robots to do.
