Read full description

Tallypool is a shared budgeting app for the people you actually share money with: your partner, flatmates, family, or a trip group. Start a budget, invite everyone with a link or a join code, and you're all looking at the same picture: what's been spent, who paid, and who owes who. 100% free. No ads. No subscriptions. Nothing sold. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Share a budget - invite people with a simple link or join code, no email hunting. • Track income and expenses, organised with categories that suit you. • Record who paid - and split a single expense across several payers when you go halves. • Flag expenses that need paying back and get reminders about what you need to send. • Set a monthly spending limit and per-category limits, and see how you're tracking. • See where the money goes at a glance with a spending-by-category breakdown. • Add a location to any expense, then search your whole history by description or place. • Filter your activity by category, who paid, or who added it. • Import an existing spreadsheet (just map your CSV's columns to Tallypool's fields) and export any time. • Label who paid with account nicknames like "Joint" or "Savings". Tallypool never connects to your bank or asks for a login - you only ever enter what you choose. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Money is personal, so Tallypool encrypts your financial details and keeps them to the people in your budget. No ads, no tracking-for-profit! The app is here to help you manage money, not monetise it. MADE FOR • Couples splitting rent, groceries and bills. • Flatmates keeping a shared house ticking over. • Families running a household budget together. • Friends managing a trip or saving toward a shared goal.
