Problem

Couples want to see where the household money goes without a heavy finance app or linking bank accounts.

  • Log spending with who paid and category
  • Remaining amount per category this month
  • Monthly totals by person and category

Nice-to-have

  • Roll unspent money to next month
  • Recurring bills that add themselves

User flows

  2. Log "Groceries 84, paid by me"
  3. See Groceries: 516 left

Data

Categories with monthly limits, transactions (date, amount, category, payer, note). Stored on the device with a manual export.

Look and feel

Category bars that fill as money is spent. Calm colors, no red alarms until a category is over.

Platform
