Free Family Tools

The small logistics of family life, solved in the browser: chore charts that rotate fairly, baby names two people can actually agree on, and a secret santa nobody can peek at. No accounts, and your family's names never leave your device.

Sibling Name Matcher

Free sibling name matcher: enter your kids’ names and get style-matched suggestions — shared origin, matching era, compatible sound — with the reasoning shown for every match. Runs in your browser.

Chore Chart Generator

Free chore chart generator with automatic weekly rotation: enter the kids and the chores, print a themed chart for the fridge plus the schedule that proves whose turn it is. No accounts, nothing leaves your browser.

Baby Name Elimination Game

Free baby name elimination game for couples: keep-or-cut through a pool of names, then head-to-head rounds until one name wins — then send your partner a challenge link with the same list and compare champions. Runs privately in your browser.

Secret Santa Generator

Free secret santa generator with no emails and no accounts: draw names with couple exclusions, then share private per-person reveal links over WhatsApp or any chat — names never touch a server.

Tools for the arguments families actually have

Whose turn is it to take out the trash? What do we name the baby — and the next one, so the names go together? Who buys for whom this Christmas, without anyone seeing the list? These are small problems with a shared property: they're really fairness and coordination problems, and a little math dissolves them. The chore chart rotates assignments so every kid does every chore exactly once per cycle; the elimination game turns a hundred-name argument into a bracket; the santa draw guarantees valid assignments even with couple-exclusion rules.

Private by architecture

Family data is the most personal data there is, which is why these tools follow the site's strictest rule: everything computes in your browser, and the site has no server code that could receive a name you type. Charts and shortlists are saved on your own device so they're there next week — and the data page lets you export the lot to a file, move it to another device, or wipe it, no questions asked.

Printed, not installed

The best family organizer is still a sheet of paper on the fridge. The chore chart prints a themed A4 with a checkbox per day and an optional rotation schedule; the QR treasure hunt generator (over in the classroom corner, but born for birthdays) prints clue cards for a rainy afternoon. No app subscriptions, no reminder notifications — just paper that works.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these family tools free? Do I need an account?

Completely free, no accounts, no app to install. The pages carry clearly separated ads, which pay the hosting — the tools themselves are never limited or gated.

Is my family’s data private?

Yes, by architecture: your kids’ names, chore lists, baby-name shortlists, and secret santa groups are processed entirely in your browser and stored, at most, on your own device. The site has no server code that could receive them. You can export or erase everything at lans.cloud/my-data.

Can two people use the baby name tools together?

That’s what they’re built for: the elimination game runs swipe-style veto rounds on a shortlist until one name survives — pass the phone back and forth — and the sibling matcher explains every suggestion so the debate has material. The secret santa draw generates shareable assignment links, so nobody sees anyone else’s match.

Does the chore chart really keep things fair?

Mathematically: assignments rotate round-robin each week, and over one full cycle every kid does every chore exactly once, never two chores in the same week (with at least as many kids as chores). The printable schedule page shows the whole rotation, so “whose turn is it?” has a visible answer.
