DuoSpend Budget is a simple app for managing shared expenses and budgets as a couple, one project at a time. Holidays, home improvements, weddings, moving, or any shared plan: create a budget, add expenses, and immediately see where you stand. A BUDGET FOR EACH PROJECT Every project has its own budget and expense history. See how much you have spent, how much remains, and how costs are shared between you. A CLEAR BALANCE BETWEEN TWO PARTNERS For every expense, choose who paid and how the final cost is split. DuoSpend automatically calculates the balance and clearly shows who owes whom. A COUPLE OVERVIEW DuoSpend Budget Pro gives you a summary of your active projects, including amounts paid, amounts owed and the overall balance between both partners. MAKE PROJECTS YOUR OWN Customize your projects with themes and icons, and choose colors for both partners. ARCHIVE WITHOUT LOSING YOUR HISTORY When a project is finished, archive it to remove it from your active projects while keeping its expenses and history. USEFUL HOME SCREEN WIDGETS With DuoSpend Budget Pro, keep important information on your Home Screen: • Couple Balance • Configurable Project • Active Projects FILE-BASED SHARING Export a project as a .duospend file to transfer or back it up, then import it or update an existing project.
