The household budget

One budget.
Both phones.

Lista keeps two people on one live budget. Add a coffee on your phone and it's on your partner's before you've pocketed the change — bills split, goals shared, every month tied off properly.

The Lista dashboard: amount left to spend this month, bills and everyday spending, and recent activity
Live sync

Two phones. One truth.

This is the whole point of Lista. When one of you spends, both of you know — same number, same list, same second. No screenshots, no "wait, how much is left?"

or just watch — it runs on its own

Live, not refreshed

Changes travel over a live connection, not a refresh button. If it's on one phone, it's on both.

Yours alone

Encrypted in transit and at rest, on servers we run ourselves. No ads, no data brokers, delete everything any time.

Any pair

Couples, roommates, parents and grown-up kids — anyone who shares money can share a Lista household.

The app

Everything a shared budget needs.
Nothing it doesn't.

Drawn straight from the app — these are the tiles you'll actually use every day.

Left to spend

One number that means something

Your budget is what lands in your account — Lista subtracts the bills, watches the pace, and tells you what's actually safe to spend today.

Bills apart

Rent isn't a spending decision

Bills are marked once and split out automatically, so they never masquerade as overspending.

Month so far

Your month at a glance

One dot per day — green under, red over, today still open. A month of honesty in two square inches.

Where it went

See where it went

Categories rank themselves by damage. No pie charts you have to squint at.

Shared goals

Goals you fund together

Both of you deposit, both of you watch it grow — and Lista does the math on getting there.

Month end

Month-end that means something

When July closes, the leftover doesn't evaporate. Sweep it into a goal, or roll it into August's budget — your call, one tap.

Two taps

The fastest add you've used

Amount, category, done — or repeat your usual coffee in exactly one tap. Logging that takes seconds is logging that actually happens.

Up close

It's this nice every day.

Real screenshots, not mockups — the dashboard in light and dark, both first-class.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

Is it really free right now?

Yes. While Lista is in beta, everything — including the household with live sync — is free. When Household pricing starts at $1.29/month, you'll be told well in advance, and solo stays free forever.

Do we both need iPhones?

No — Lista is a web app you install straight from the browser on iPhone or Android (or use on a laptop). No app store, no updates to run, and any mix of devices syncs together.

Where does our data live?

Encrypted in transit and at rest, on servers we run ourselves — not in a spreadsheet, not with a data broker. There are no ads, your data is never sold, and you can export your expenses or delete everything whenever you want.

What happens at the end of the month?

Lista closes the month with a recap: what came in, what the bills took, where the rest went. If you finished under budget, you choose — sweep the surplus into a goal, or roll it into next month's budget.

Can I use it alone?

Absolutely. Lista works fully solo — budget, bills, goals, recaps. The household is there the day you want to share it, and takes one invite link to set up.

Start your first month together.

Two minutes to set up. One link to invite your partner. Free while we're in beta.
