LyfeTender is the all-in-one household management app for families. Less nagging, more teamwork. CHORE MANAGEMENT Create recurring chores with flexible schedules — daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, or custom intervals. Set due times so tasks appear at the right moment. Every chore follows a clear lifecycle: pending, assigned, completed, verified. Admins can reject completed chores back to the assignee with an optional reason. FAMILY ROLES & PERMISSIONS Three role levels — admin, member, and child — each with appropriate access. Invite family members with a simple link or invite code. Set your household timezone and everything stays in sync. REWARDS & POINTS Motivate your family with a built-in rewards system. Earn points for completed chores and redeem them for custom rewards. Track who's leading on the points leaderboard. MEAL PLANNING Get daily dinner suggestions tailored to your household's preferences. Set your cuisine, protein, dietary restrictions, and spice level. Not feeling tonight's recipe? Shuffle for a new one or swap from your recipe book. Tonight's dinner shows right on your home dashboard. RECIPE SCALING Every recipe scales to your household's preferred serving size. Set your default servings in preferences and all ingredient quantities adjust automatically. GROCERY LISTS Add ingredients from your meals with one tap — repeatable anytime you need a refresh. Items are organized by category for easy shopping. Check items off as you go. WORKS OFFLINE Full offline support — browse your chores, meals, recipes, and grocery list without an internet connection. Actions queue up and sync automatically when you're back online. SMART AUTOMATION Auto-assign chores so nobody has to dole out tasks every day. Auto-verify for trusted members. Push and email notifications for assignments, completions, and reminders. Real-time updates so everyone sees progress as it happens. FREE Everything included. No subscriptions, no paywalls, no limits on households or family members.
