For families in Kuwait and the UAE

One record, shared by your family and the people who work in your home

Pay, rest days, leave, documents and daily tasks in one place. You write in Arabic. Each worker reads in her own language.

Other apps are the employer's private ledger. Liwan is the record both sides share.

How it works

  1. Add your staff

    Name, role, salary and weekly rest day, and the language each person reads.

  2. Share an invite in her language

    A single-use link that expires after 7 days, written in her language, sent over WhatsApp or any other app.

  3. Records both sides confirm

    Pay slips, rest days and tasks appear on both phones, and each side confirms its part.

What's inside

Pay

A pay slip both sides confirm

The family marks a salary as paid and the worker taps “Yes, I received it”. Each month becomes a timestamped, locked receipt that protects both sides if there is ever a dispute.

  • Clear additions: a rest day worked, a bonus
  • A bilingual PDF: Arabic and the worker's language
  • A confirmed slip can't be edited; a dispute is settled with a corrected one

Tasks

Written in Arabic, read in her language

Write a task in Arabic, Gulf dialect included, and it arrives in Tagalog, Sinhala, Malayalam, Hindi, Bengali or English. The original is one tap away.

  • Knows the Gulf home: majlis, dallah, diwaniya
  • “Not clear?” lets her ask before she starts
  • A heads-up when a task falls inside rest hours

Rest and leave

Rest days and leave, clear to both sides

The weekly rest day, the leave taken, and a substitute day when a rest day is worked. Both sides see the same record. Liwan doesn't record attendance.

  • Annual, sick and other leave on one calendar both sides see
  • She requests leave from her phone; the family approves from theirs
  • A rest day worked becomes a substitute day or extra pay

Reminders

No renewal date missed

Residency, passport, contract, and Civil ID or Emirates ID: a reminder 60, 30 and 7 days before each one expires.

  • Colour shows what's soon and what's urgent
  • The record shows the passport stays with its owner
  • Renewal itself happens through the official channels. Liwan only reminds you, and isn't a government service
The reminders list: a contract renewal in 23 days and a residency renewal in 38 days

Kuwait and the UAE

Built for the Gulf from the start

Choose the country during setup and Liwan sets the currency and the document types: Kuwaiti dinar with three decimals, or UAE dirham.

  • Arabic first, with a complete English interface
  • Civil ID in Kuwait, Emirates ID in the UAE
  • Dates and times follow the household's country

The other side of the record

For the people who work in your home

Liwan isn't a monitoring app. Everything the family records about a worker, she sees on her own phone, in her own language: her pay, her rest days and her documents.

  • Tagalog
  • සිංහල
  • മലയാളം
  • हिन्दी
  • বাংলা
  • English
  • In her language

    Tagalog, Sinhala, Malayalam, Hindi, Bengali or English. She picks when she joins and can change it anytime.

  • Free for her, always

    No subscription, no paywall and no fees, ever. Only the family subscribes.

  • Her records stay hers

    She can export her pay history, leave and documents at any time, including after she leaves the household.

The privacy promise

Facts about how the app is built, not marketing lines.

  • No location

    The location permission isn't in the app at all.

  • No camera, no microphone

    The app asks for neither.

  • No clock-in

    It records what's a right: rest days and leave.

  • No ratings, no private notes

    No stars, no scores, nothing hidden from the worker.

  • Everything visible to both sides

    Whatever is recorded about a worker, she can read in her language.

  • No ads, no analytics

    Not in the app and not on this website. No cookies either.

One subscription for the family

The family subscribes. Workers never pay.

Questions

Does Liwan give legal advice?

No. Liwan is a record-keeping app. It doesn't state, calculate or interpret labour law, and it isn't a government service. What the law and the contract require is for the employer to know and follow.

Which countries does it cover?

Kuwait and the UAE. You choose the country during setup, and that sets the currency and the document types.

Does the worker pay anything?

No, never. A worker's account is free, always, and never shows a paywall. Only the family subscribes.

Which languages are supported?

For the family: Arabic and English. For workers: English, Tagalog, Sinhala, Malayalam, Hindi and Bengali. Tasks are translated automatically into each worker's language, and the original stays one tap away.

Where is the data stored?

In a database hosted with Supabase, our hosting provider. Each household's records are kept apart from every other household's, and a worker can read only her own. We don't sell data or use it for advertising. The details are in the Privacy Policy.

How do I cancel a subscription?

In your subscription settings on the App Store or Google Play, at any time. If you cancel during the free trial you aren't charged. Deleting your Liwan account doesn't cancel the subscription for you.
