A budget app for two people

Sharing a budget rarely fails at the arithmetic. It fails because one person keeps the books and the other one only hears the verdict — which stops sounding like teamwork very quickly. Belegio is built so both of you see the same numbers without either of you keeping records for the other: you each scan your own receipts, and the household view adds up. And because not every purchase is everybody’s business, any single receipt can be marked private.

Separate is the default, not the setting you have to find

When you create an account, it belongs to a household of one. Nobody can see your receipts. Sharing starts only when both people add each other — a one-sided invitation does nothing at all. There is no switch you can flip by accident, and no link that quietly grants access.

Private receipts stay private

Any receipt, and any individual item on a receipt, can be marked private. It then stays out of the shared view entirely and remains visible only to you. The birthday present doesn’t appear in the joint “Online” category the week before the birthday.

This is not a technical footnote. It’s the difference between sharing a budget and being audited by the person you live with — and it’s the reason a shared budget survives past the second month.

What you see together

  • The household total for the month, and how it compares to the last one
  • Which categories take the largest share — down to individual items
  • Budgets per category, visible to both of you
  • Fixed costs and subscriptions counted into the monthly total, with a reminder before the next charge
  • A monthly recap you can share as a card

For the scanning itself: how the receipt scanner works.

Where this works today

Belegio is built and tested for European receipts. If you both shop in Germany, Austria or Switzerland, everything above works right now — including with the app set to English. Receipts from outside Europe are not verified yet; the app is installable there and the interface is translated, but we haven’t tested the recognition on enough real receipts from those countries to promise it.

Frequently asked

Will my partner see how much I earn?
No. Belegio records no income and no account balances — only spending from receipts you scan and fixed costs you enter.
Can we undo the connection?
Yes, at any time in Settings. Afterwards each of you sees only your own receipts again.
Who owns a receipt after we separate the accounts?
Every receipt belongs to the account that scanned it, and stays there.
Does it work for three people, or a family with children?
The shared household is currently designed for two accounts.
Do we both need to pay?
No. The free tier works for both of you; a subscription applies to the account that buys it.

Same numbers. Not the same drawer.
