Mobile (iOS)

A financial app that gives couples one shared picture of where their money is. Not two separate accounts side by side, one household view.

Couples don't need another budgeting app. They need to be able to answer "can we afford this" without opening four different apps and doing mental math. But every financial tool treats money as personal. Even the ones built for couples still show two separate views instead of one household picture.

Steady merges all accounts into a single household dashboard, uses neutral visual language so the numbers don't trigger blame, and gives each person a private allowance so merging doesn't mean losing autonomy.
