A shared budget the household can use
Counts keeps the working household budget in one place. Members can see the envelopes, accounts, upcoming transactions, and reports that belong to their household instead of passing a spreadsheet back and forth.
Start freeOne source of truth
Changes live in the shared household rather than in copies, screenshots, or private notes.
Planning and history together
Envelope balances explain what is available now; the ledger and reports explain what happened.
Access stays household-scoped
Members receive access through invitations, and database rules restrict budget records to the households they belong to.
How to get started
Set the household plan
Choose the accounts, recurring commitments, and flexible envelopes everyone needs to understand.
Invite the right people
Give each trusted member their own account rather than sharing credentials.
Use scheduled items
Put repeating bills and income on the calendar so the household sees what is coming.
Questions people ask before starting

Can a family use Counts?
Yes. Counts is designed around shared households. Free supports two members, while Plus is designed for larger households.

Can I remove a member later?
Household owners can manage membership. Review access whenever a person no longer needs the shared budget.
