Child Expenses

Child Expenses - Shared Expense Tracking for Families

Child Expenses helps co-parents, divorced families, patchwork families, and households track shared costs, see who owes what, and settle up fairly without spreadsheets or endless back-and-forth.

Create a shared group, add expenses in seconds, and let iCloud keep everything in sync across devices. No account setup, no separate login, and no third-party backend for your financial data.

On Apple Watch, you can quickly check balances, review recent expenses, and capture changes while you are away from your phone.

Built for real family use cases, Child Expenses stays focused on the essentials: shared expenses, clear balances, and simple collaboration.
