Sharing
How to review spending together as a couple
Keep shared purchases in one space, leave personal spending separate, and use the same records for your money conversations.
By Reign ·
When you both pay for shared purchases, it can be hard to remember everything at the end of the month. A shared space in Reign gives you one place to record and review those expenses.
You each use your own account. You choose which space holds each purchase, so personal spending can stay separate.
Agree on what belongs in the shared space
Start with a specific purpose: groceries, household costs, or an upcoming trip. Decide which purchases you will record there so the totals mean the same thing to both of you.
A shared space does not connect or combine your bank accounts. It holds the transactions you add to it.
Record purchases as they happen
Snap a receipt, upload an image, or use Quick log for a purchase without a receipt. Choose the shared space and a wallet you can record purchases in when recording it. You can use your own wallets or a wallet whose owner has allowed shared logging.
With Plus, the space can also receive email receipts. These arrive in To review before you save them as transactions.
Use the same records for the conversation
Open the space to review totals, categories, and spending by member. If a number needs explaining, open the transactions behind it.
You might use the records to answer:
- How much did we spend on groceries this month?
- Which purchases made this month different from the last?
- Is there a category we want to set a target for?
Reign shows each person’s recorded spending. It does not calculate who owes whom or settle payments between members. You decide how to split shared costs.
Keep personal records separate
Members can see the records in a space they have joined. Keep personal purchases in a space you have not shared, and check the selected space before saving a receipt or transaction.
Create a free account to set up a space and invite your partner. Free includes 2 spaces you own and 1 invited member per space; Plus includes 10 spaces and 10 invited members per space.
