A family expense tracker for Indian households — what we plan to build

Glass Money does not have a family or household view today. This page explains the problem we want to solve, and what you can already do while we build it.


Not available today

Glass Money has no family, household, or HUF view. There is no shared dashboard, no per-member privacy control, and no way to roll several people's spending into one total. It is on our roadmap, and this page describes what we intend to build — but nothing on it is in the product right now.

What does work today: one signed-in user can include individual accounts and joint accounts for which they are an account holder or authorized to process the data. When activity reaches an authorized connected inbox, or is supplied through a supported statement, Glass Money can keep it in that user's categorised spending view. There is no shared household workspace, member login, household total, or per-member privacy control.

Why tracking family expenses in India is uniquely hard

Most expense tracker apps are designed for one person with one bank account. That is not how money works in an Indian household. A typical family runs on a mix of joint savings accounts, individual salary accounts, two or three UPI apps, a credit card or two, cash for the local market, and monthly transfers to parents or children. The result: nobody in the family has a complete picture, and the monthly “where did the money go?” conversation happens over screenshots and bank statements.

Shared expenses make it worse. When the groceries go on one person's card, the school fees leave another account, and the electricity bill is on auto-pay from a third, a single-user app cannot answer the question that matters: how much did our household actually spend this month?

What a household view would need to get right

We would rather build this properly than ship a version that leaks the wrong data to the wrong relative. The hard parts, as we see them:

  • Each member signs in as themselves and consents to what the household can see.
  • Shared costs — rent, groceries, utilities, school fees, EMIs — roll into a household total regardless of who paid, without flattening individual spending into it.
  • Privacy that respects family dynamics: a personal card can stay entirely private while still contributing to a shared goal.
  • Joint families and HUF structures, where a household is bigger than two adults and two kids, and pensions or a sibling's contribution belong in the same picture.

None of the above exists yet. When it does, it will move to the “available today” column on the homepage — and not before.

What you can do in the meantime

Use one personal spending view for the accounts you own, including a joint account when you are an account holder or authorized to process its activity. Glass Money does not collect co-holder personal information for that classification. Comparing separate users' activity is not a household dashboard, and Glass Money does not combine them today. Our family expense tracking guide covers how to divide shared versus individual costs in the meantime.

How your data is handled

Family finances are sensitive, and we treat them that way. Access is read-only and scoped to transaction alert mail from known bank and card senders — never your personal conversations. Glass Money cannot move money and we do not sell your data. You can revoke access from your Google account at any time. Details are in our privacy policy.



Start with the part that already works

Limited beta users can build one personal spending view, including joint accounts they are authorized to process. We will say so clearly when a household workspace ships.
