WeSpend User Manual

Welcome! This manual explains how to use WeSpend day to day. No technical knowledge needed - if you're looking for developer documentation instead, it lives in the other sections of this site.

WeSpend is a household expense tracker for couples and families. You share a monthly pot, track daily and weekly spending against automatic limits, and settle up each week. Everything syncs live across all phones in the household.
