About the app<\/h5>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
\n \n \n
\n

This app grew out of a spreadsheet I built for my own household.<\/p>\n

We wanted an overview that made sense at a glance: shared expenses, personal budgets, and a clear picture of who was covering what.<\/p>\n

Instead of forcing a single rule for everything, each shared expense can be handled in a way that feels fair to the people involved. Some things can be split evenly. Others can be shared based on income, fixed percentages, or simply\n covered by one person. The goal isn\u2019t perfection \u2014 it\u2019s understanding.<\/p>\n

What you see here is an early sketch of how that could work: a shared view of household expenses, transparent contributions, and a calm overview that helps you feel balanced over time.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n
