Miluven app: the home screen, a round starting with a block of tasks, and tasks being ticked off

A shared twenty-minute moment for the chores that pile up

Miluven hands your household a small block of tasks, runs a timer, and lets everyone tick things off at their own pace.

Built for the households where starting is the hard part.

Starting is the hard part

A full task list doesn't help when you can't face opening it. Most planning apps make that worse — they're built for one person to manage everything, alone. Miluven doesn't hand you a list. It hands you a timer and three or four things, already picked, already grouped by room, already sized to fit your evening.

How it works

Setting up a household in Miluven, a quick room-by-room wizard, then reaching the home screen ready to start a round

1. Start a round

Pick 7, 15 or 30 minutes. That's the only decision.

The home screen, then the round screen appearing with a block of tasks

2. Get your block

Three or four tasks, clustered by room, matched to the time of day and what's actually due.

3. Tick things off

The timer runs whether or not anyone joins. Invite a housemate and you'll see each other's progress — no supervision, just company.

What's new

The setup wizard asking how many extra rooms a household has, before walking through the rest of the rooms

Extra rooms, asked up front

A spare bedroom or second office used to be something you'd only find by digging through settings later. Now the setup wizard asks right away, before it walks you through the rest of the rooms.

Renaming a household from the settings screen

Rename it whenever

Typed the household name in a hurry during setup? The owner can change it any time from the settings screen — no need to start over.

Making a housemate the household's owner from the settings screen

Hand off ownership, stay in the house

The person who set things up can now make someone else the owner without leaving the household themselves. And if the owner does leave, the household doesn't just carry on without one — see the FAQ below.

Not just the indoor stuff

Mowing the lawn, cleaning the car, clearing the garage, taking the glass to the bottle bank — the physical work that isn't a phone call or a form, all in the same place as the dishes.

What it won't do

No points, no leaderboards

Nothing to compare between housemates. Nothing to argue about.

No streaks that break

Just a running total — "47 rounds together" — that never resets to zero and shames you for missing a day.

Never turns red

No overdue badges, no rising counters. What didn't get done today just disappears from view.

Solo works too

Inviting a housemate is a button, not a requirement. It works the same whether one person shows up or three.

Questions

Do I need a housemate to use it?

No. A round works solo from the first minute — the timer runs and the block still gets handed out either way. Inviting someone is optional.

Does it track who does more?

No, on purpose. There's no per-person history, no score, nothing that turns chores into an accounting exercise between housemates.

Does it keep track of what gets done, at least?

Yes — there's a simple timeline in the app of what's been done in your household over the last month, so it doesn't just disappear. It never says who did it, only what and when. We keep it to show it back to you, not for anything of our own.

What happens if we don't finish?

Nothing. The block was never meant to be fully cleared — it's sized to about 80% of the time on purpose. Whatever's left just isn't shown again until it comes back up in a future round.

Is my data shared with anyone?

Miluven only knows what's needed to run a round for your own household — no accounts outside it, nothing shared between households.

Can I delete my data?

Yes — there's a "Delete my account" button right in the app (Account settings), no email or support request needed. It's permanent — and if you're the one who set the household up, so is leaving it: with no one left to hand it to, the whole household goes with you. Hand ownership to a housemate first if you just want out yourself.

What if a task is missing?

There's a "Suggest a task" link right in the app — tell us what's missing and which room it's in, and we'll take a look and add it if it's a good fit.

Can I add my own custom task?

Not directly — every household draws from the same shared, curated list, rather than everyone building their own from scratch. Suggesting one (above) is how the list grows.

What does it cost?

Free for households up to 3 people, while it's being built out — and it stays that way.
