Muetual
Read full descriptionHide full description
Every expense, spent, planned or recurring, in one place you can share. Muetual is an expense tracker that looks ahead. Log what you spend in seconds, plan the purchases you know are coming, set the bills that repeat, and see the whole picture on one budget, alone or with the people you split with. A home, a trip, a project, a team's kitty: each gets its own sheet, and you can see them one at a time or all together. TRACK SPENDING IN SECONDS Amount, category, note, date. Done. Search any expense by note or category, filter by date, amount or who paid, and sort however you think. PLAN WHAT'S COMING Enter a future purchase and it waits in the Upcoming view until the day comes; confirm it then, or push it back. Nothing counts as spent until you say it was, so your budget only ever reflects money that actually moved. RECURRING BILLS, SET ONCE Rent, the internet, subscriptions: add each rule once with its own schedule and currency. On the due date Muetual puts it in front of you to confirm, snooze or skip, and forecasts the next ones so you know what the month still costs. SHARE WITH THE RIGHT PERMISSIONS Invite anyone by email. Owners run the sheet, editors log and edit, viewers just look. Everyone sees the same numbers, kept in sync across phone and web. BUDGETS THAT WARN BEFORE YOU GO OVER Weekly, monthly or running. A ring that fills as you spend, a trend chart across weeks and months, and an alert at 80% and 100%. EVERY CURRENCY Each sheet has its own currency. Mix currencies inside one sheet when you travel, and see totals converted at current rates. ONE CONSOLIDATED VIEW Combine several sheets into a single dashboard in one currency, the flat plus the trip plus the side project, with each sheet's share of the total. YOURS, DOWN TO THE ACCENT Light, dark or automatic. Eight accent colours, three chart styles, four languages (English, French, German, Spanish). Settings follow your account to every device. PRIVATE BY DESIGN A sheet is visible only to the people you invite. No ads, no selling data, and you can delete your account from inside the app. Sign in with Apple, Google or email. WHAT MUETUAL ISN'T It doesn't work out who owes whom. Muetual tracks and budgets what you spend together; settling up is between you. FREE TO START The free plan covers one shared sheet and isn't going away. Standard and Premium add more sheets, more people, more history, planned expenses, multi-currency sheets and the consolidated view, each with a free trial, cancel any time. Subscriptions are charged to your Apple ID and renew automatically unless cancelled at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. Manage or cancel them in your App Store account settings.
