About Lyra
For real-life relationships, not screen time
Lyra exists to improve people's relationships in real life — not to make them spend time online. There's nothing to scroll, no feed to refresh, no metrics to chase. Just a quiet profile that helps the people you care about know you a little better.
- Gift-giving — know what people actually want
- Understanding sensitive topics before conversations
- Finding common interests and things you share
- Learning from tips and recommendations others share
- Understanding house rules before visiting someone
- Anything else that improves relationships offline

Who it's for
Anyone who's ever thought “I wish they just knew what I wanted.” Which is everyone.
Parents
Invite your children’s teachers to create a quick profile. End-of-term gifts become easy instead of stressful. Two minutes is all it takes.
Friends & family
Birthdays, Christmas, just because. Stop guessing. Check their Lyra profile and find something they’ll actually love.
Colleagues
New team member? Secret Santa? Share preferences and boundaries without the awkward conversations.
Teachers & carers
A simple way to let parents know what you’d appreciate — without asking. Just share your profile link.
What Lyra is not
Are you a parent?
End of year is coming. Instead of guessing what your children's teachers would like, invite them to create a Lyra profile. It takes two minutes — just gift ideas and things to avoid — and it makes everything easier for everyone.
“Hi! I'm using Lyra to help people know what I'd appreciate. It only takes a couple of minutes. Here's where you can create yours…”
Create your free profileAre you a teacher?
Share the gifts you really want and make it easy for parents to venture outside chocolate and wine. End-of-year gifts become easy and more likely to be really needed or appreciated. Two minutes is all it takes.
“Thanks for thinking of me! Here's a quick Lyra profile of things I'd love.”
Create your free profileWish people just knew?
If there is something you want others to know but it feels awkward to deliver unrequested, add it here and send a hint.
Want to find information first hand?
No longer depend on guesses or others to find out what matters to someone you want to please. Ask them for their Lyra profile.
