Running a household is expensive. Groceries, utilities, kids' activities, home maintenance—it adds up fast. Partner Mode helps families stay on top of it all.
The Family Finance Challenge
When two people manage a household, coordination is key:
- Who paid the electric bill this month?
- How much did we spend on groceries?
- Are we over budget on dining out?
- Did that Amazon order ship yet?
Without a shared system, you're flying blind—or having the same "did you pay...?" conversation repeatedly.
How Partner Mode Helps Families
1. Combined Household View
See all family expenses in one place. Groceries, utilities, subscriptions, kids' expenses—everything shows in the "Combined" view with clear totals.
2. Individual Tracking
Keep personal purchases separate. Your morning coffee, partner's hobby supplies—these can stay in the "Me" view without cluttering the family budget.
3. Category Insights
See spending by category across the whole household:
- 🛒 Groceries: $650
- 🏠 Home: $1,200
- 👶 Kids: $400
- 🍽️ Dining: $250
4. Budget Alerts
Set category budgets and both partners see when you're approaching limits. No more "we spent HOW much on takeout?" moments.
