## What is Shapital?

Most budget apps make money private. Shapital makes it shared.

You and your partner see the same budget, the same numbers, at the same moment, on both phones. Log an expense in the checkout line; it's on their screen before you reach the car. Money conversations get shorter when you're both looking at the same page.

WHY COUPLES SWITCH TO SHAPITAL

NO BANK LINKING. EVER.
Shapital never asks for your bank login. Nothing to connect, so nothing breaks: no accounts that silently stop syncing, no vanished transactions, no re-linking your bank every month. You log spending in seconds; your budget is exactly as accurate as you are and it works this way forever.

WORKS IN ANY COUNTRY
No US bank account required. Full multi-currency support Johannesburg, London, Toronto, Sydney, Mumbai, Manila. If you have a phone, Shapital works, online or offline. Log expenses with no signal; everything syncs when you're back.

BUILT FOR TWO (OR MORE)
• Invite your partner and budget together in real time
• Activity feed shows who changed what, no mystery edits
• Permissions per collaborator, great for families and roommates
• Comment threads on budget items, so the discussion stays with the numbers

BUDGETING THAT ACTUALLY GUIDES YOU
• Zero-based budgeting: give every dollar (or rand, or pound) a job
• Monthly, quarterly, or yearly budget periods; duplicate in one tap
• Planned vs. actual spending, live, per category
• Savings goals with visual progress
• Financial Health Score and trends over time

MOMENTS WORTH COMING BACK FOR
• Close each period with a Wrap-Up that celebrates how you really did
• Daily logging streaks, badges, challenges, and a personal Year in Review
• Home and lock-screen widgets keep the budget one glance away

PRIVATE & SECURE
Two-factor authentication, secure recovery, full control of your data — and no ads, on any tier.

FAIR PRICING
The core app is free. Premium adds unlimited budgets, advanced analytics, PDF/Excel reports, budget templates, and extra collaborators — for less than the big-name budget apps charge.

Shapital — same budget, same page, no arguments.
Built by one developer in Johannesburg. Answered by a human when you email.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 2.6.0 — 2026-09-17

SPENDMIND IS NOW SHAPITAL

Same app, same account, same budgets. Your history, your savings goals, the person you share with and your subscription all carry over. There is nothing you need to do and nothing to set up again.

It is still a budgeting app and it still works on your own. What changed is that most people here are budgeting with somebody else, and the old name never said the shared part out loud. Shapital is share and capital, pushed together.

The longer version: https://shapital.kaygeek.com/blog/spendmind-is-now-shapital

MEET COMPASS
Your budget now tells you what to do next, not just what happened. Compass points at the exact row that needs you, and every suggestion is something you can act on in a tap.

SHARE WITHOUT PAYING
Inviting your partner no longer needs Premium. Every account can now share a budget with one person. Premium raises that to three.

SUPPORT THAT ANSWERS
Ask a question from inside the app and get told when someone has answered it.

ALSO IN THIS RELEASE
• Upload a real profile photo
• Savings goals and income no longer read as overspending
• Deleting a budget now clears it from your partner's device too
