Shared household explained

Partner ledger with shared or private expenses.

Last updated on

A household lets partners (or family) share a cloud ledger with per-expense shared or private visibility. Everyone signed in sees shared entries; private entries stay visible only to the person who logged them.

What household is good for

  • Groceries and rent you both care about
  • Shared bills with clear visibility rules
  • Optional E2EE so shared amounts stay encrypted on the server

What household is not

  • Not a replacement for buddy IOUs at a restaurant with friends
  • Not automatic bill payment or bank sync—still manual entry

Common mistakes

  • Using household for roommate IOUs — Roommates often need split groups and settle-up, not partner household.
  • Marking everything shared — Use private for gifts, personal care, or sensitive purchases.
  • Skipping cloud sync — Household requires sign-in and sync; guest-only devices cannot join.
