HomeLifePlannerShare the household, not just the house.
Two people, one plan. Chores with names on them, meals decided together, a shopping list either of you can finish, and numbers instead of impressions.
The planning is the work
Doing the shopping is visible. Knowing what to buy, when the toothpaste is running out and what everyone will eat on Thursday is not — and it is often carried by one person by default.
Writing it down moves that work from one head into a shared space. It stops being a favour to ask and becomes something both of you can see and pick up.
- Tasks carry an owner and a due date, so nothing is “understood”.
- Meals are planned in one place instead of decided at 7pm.
- The shopping list is live: the person closest to the shop goes.
- Statistics show what was actually done, per person, per period.
Money, without a spreadsheet argument
Ingredient prices and activity costs add up on their own: what the week will cost, what the month cost, what the year looks like.
It is deliberately light. The goal is a shared sense of the numbers, not a household accounting system.
- Weekly and monthly food spending.
- Cost per portion on recipes.
- Activity budgets included in the week.
- Currency set once for the household.
Questions families ask
Do we both need the app installed?
Both of you need access, but installing is optional — it works in a browser. Installing adds notifications and a home-screen icon, which is what makes it a habit.
Can we keep some things private?
Yes. Any task or activity can be limited to chosen members, which is how birthday surprises survive a shared planner.
Is HomeLifePlanner free?
Yes. Tasks, planner, meals, groceries, activities, statistics and sharing are free, with 200 MB of photo storage per household. Premium (4,99 € per month for the whole household) removes the ads, lifts the storage limit and includes the AI assistant.
What if we already use a shared calendar?
Keep it. Many couples leave appointments in their calendar and use HomeLifePlanner for what a calendar handles badly: chores, meals, the shopping list and the week’s food budget.
