For Couples & Partners: Coordinate household living costs while keeping your personal freedom.
Whether you split rent 50/50 or contribute proportionally to income, Kestro gives both partners one clear view of household costs without policing each other's personal spends.
Why existing approaches cause friction between partners
The month-end reckoning
Sitting down with multiple bank statements and UPI payment histories at the end of the month turns routine chores into tense negotiations.
Bill-splitting apps built for roommates
Apps made for splitting dinner bills with friends treat every purchase as an IOU to settle immediately, rather than a shared household budget.
Spreadsheet fatigue
One partner usually ends up maintaining the Google Sheet, while the other forgets to add entries, creating an uneven mental load.

Frequently Asked Questions for For Couples & Partners
Does my partner see my personal bank account balance?
No. Kestro does not link directly to bank accounts or inspect your personal finances. Only the shared expenses you choose to log are visible inside the household ledger.
Can we split expenses proportionally rather than 50/50?
Yes. You can define customized contribution targets for each earner in the household setup, reflecting your agreed income ratio.
What happens if one partner pays for a vacation upfront?
You can log the high-ticket expense under a dedicated category or goal. Kestro's settle-up view computes the net difference and suggests a simple adjustment.
