Households

Your own money and shared money, side by side

Many couples share some of their money and keep some to themselves. In Linkly the shared part goes in a Household with your partner, and you each keep your own Personal next to it.

A Household with your partner

Make a Household and invite your partner by email. It holds what you share: the joint account, the rent, the energy, the groceries. It is a Household before your partner joins and stays one after they leave.

A joint account belongs to the Household, not to one of you
You both see the same lists and totals
When someone leaves, their own mailbox and bank account stop feeding it

The switcher in Linkly: Sanne's administration, Huishouden De Vries shared with Daan, and Atelier Zeewind, each with a tick and its kind.

You each keep your own

Your Personal stays yours. Your partner is a member of the Household, not of your Personal, so they never see it, and you never see theirs.

No share settings: where an item is decides who sees it
Each row says which administration it is in
A joint account counts whole in your balance, marked as joint

Transactions by day, each with a mark for its administration: Sanne or Huishouden.

Your own mail and bank feed both

Your mailbox and your own bank account can feed your Personal and your Household. Linkly reads each email and payment once and puts it where it belongs. A receipt for a payment on the joint account goes to the Household with its payment.

You choose what each mailbox and account feeds
When nothing says where it belongs, it stays in your Personal and Linkly asks you
Your answer holds for that counterparty

The To check list with a question about which administration a payment to Gamma is in, with a button per administration.

Together or one at a time

Tick what you want to see. Home, Money, Recurring, Counterparties and Insights all follow, and search goes through everything you show.

Your choice is saved on your account, so computer and phone agree
Each account counts once, however many administrations it feeds

Search for Coolblue across three administrations, with a mark on each result.

Something in the wrong place?

Move it from the row's menu. The whole item goes, with its receipt, emails and files, and Undo puts it back exactly. Linkly remembers it for that counterparty.

Only to administrations you are a full member of
Old links keep working

In Nibud's study of Dutch couples, 78% had a joint account: 40% only a joint one, 38% a joint one next to their own. Linkly fits both, and couples with only their own accounts too.
