About Handliva

Handliva is a free platform of tools that solve everyday problems. Not software problems — life problems. The lease you have to sign tonight. The resignation letter you've rewritten six times. The puppy arriving on Saturday. The wedding seating plan that's causing a family argument.

How we think about tools

Every tool on Handliva has to pass one test: a real person, with a real problem, can find it, finish in under five minutes, and leave with something done — a letter written, a document generated, a plan built, a checklist printed. We call it the 11pm test, because that's when most of these problems get Googled.

How Handliva works

What Handliva is not

Our document generators follow widely used standard formats, but they are self-help tools, not legal advice, and Handliva is not a law firm. Pet tools publish standard reference schedules (such as the AAHA vaccination guidelines) and are not veterinary advice. For anything complex or high-stakes, a local professional is worth the money — our job is everything before that point.

Handliva is the sister site to a family of practical web tools, built and maintained by a small independent team.
