Share a Slice
Pick a slice, pick a person, choose Viewer or Contributor
They See It Instantly
The slice appears in their Shared Slices section
Budget Together
One shared number, with everyone's spending in one place
How Shared Slices Work
Share One Slice at a Time
Share the slices you choose, like Rent or Groceries, and keep everything else private. No all-or-nothing budget merging
Viewer or Contributor
Viewers see the budget and its transactions. Contributors also assign their own spending to it. One simple choice per person, changeable anytime
Money Stays With the Owner
Only the slice owner moves money. Shared visibility never means someone else can rearrange your budget
See Whose Spending Was Whose
Every transaction on a shared slice shows who it belongs to, so the family sees one budget instead of comparing bank apps
Privacy Is the Whole Point
Most budgeting apps make sharing all-or-nothing: one combined budget, every transaction visible to everyone. Cake Budget shares exactly what you choose.
โ Other Apps

โ Cake Budget

A shared slice reveals its balance, target, and assigned transactions to the people you share it with. Nothing else.
Built for How Households Actually Work
One Money Person, One Participant
One partner runs the budget; the other sees exactly what's funded and spent with nothing to manage and no second app to learn
Couples Splitting Real Life
Share Rent, Groceries, and Utilities. Each person categorizes their own spending against the shared budgets. Personal spending stays personal
A Teenager's First Budget
