A home for the two of you.
Domovoi is a small set of tools for running a shared life: what's for dinner, what's on the shopping list, what to watch tonight, what to give. Whatever one of you does, the other sees straight away. So you can stop being each other's reminder service.
01 · Why we built itWe built this because we were tired.
A shared life gets run through a dozen apps at once. The shopping list lives in Notes. Dinner gets decided at quarter to seven by whoever's hungriest. Half an hour of scrolling goes by before anyone picks a show. Everything ends up with the partner who thought of it first, which is rarely the partner who should be doing it.
My wife would say things like "I wish there was an app for that." A few years ago those would have stayed wishes. AI changed that. So I started building small, specific tools for our actual life: a recipe library that pulls the ingredients out of any link, a meal plan that writes its own shopping list, a watchlist that only shows what we've both said yes to, and a directory of gifts worth giving.
Two things became clear. The tools weren't as niche as they felt; most of our friends have a version of the same problems. And they work better together, in one home that you share.
So that's what Domovoi is. Three tools, each built for two people, and one page where you can see the whole house at a glance.
02 · What's hereThree things, done properly.
Plan the week. The shopping list writes itself.
Paste any recipe link and the ingredients come out for you. Put dinners on the week and they're gathered into one list, sorted by aisle. Tick something off in the shop and it's gone from your partner's list too. Open Catered
You both swipe. Only the ones you both want make the list.
Over a thousand shows and films streaming in your country, with where to watch them. Your partner's yeses come to the front of your deck, and anything you've already seen comes back when a new season lands. Open Curated
The best version of something they already use.
A hand-picked directory of makers: the heritage brand, the deep specialist, the everyday thing done beautifully. Answer four quick questions and get a shortlist for the person you have in mind. Open Considered
03 · NameWhat's a domovoi, anyway?
In Slavic folklore, a domovoi is a small household spirit who lives behind the stove. If you feed him, sweep the floors, and treat your partner kindly, he keeps the home in order. Milk doesn't sour, bread rises, things stay where you left them. If you bicker and let the dishes pile up, he leaves, and the house slowly falls apart.
That seemed like a good way to think about a home for two. The small things matter. The kindness compounds. The work of two people, done together, is much warmer than the work of one person doing everything quietly.
The character you'll see around Domovoi is our take on that spirit. A fluffy plum body, two big eyes peering out, a small coral nose. He looks slightly mischievous, occasionally tired, and always rooting for you.
The house keeps itself when both of you are paying a little attention. Domovoi is just the part that remembers which little.
04 · BeliefsWhat we're trying to build.
No streaks. No scoreboards. No "productivity."
You're not running a startup. You're sharing a life. Domovoi should feel like a kitchen, not a Jira board: quiet, warm, and forgiving of the week you both forgot to plan anything.
Everything is built for both of you, or it doesn't ship.
If a thing only makes sense for the partner who already does most of the planning, it's the wrong thing. We design for the moment between the two of you: the handoff, the surprise, the quiet "I got it."
The point isn't to track more. It's to remember less.
A good household tool takes things away. Fewer reminders, fewer apps, fewer "did you?"s across the dinner table. Domovoi is working when both of you stop thinking about it.
