Sharing with a partner
Inviting a partner, private accounts, the Mine and Household views, and leaving a household.
How do I invite my partner?
- Go to More → Household and tap “Invite your partner”.
- Send the link or code from the share sheet.
- Your partner installs Pennyjay, signs in, taps “I have a code” and pastes it.
Invites work once and expire after 7 days. Only the household owner can invite, and a household can have up to 6 people.
Can I keep an account private?
Yes. Open the account and turn on “Private”. Only you see its balances and transactions, and it’s left out of your partner’s totals. Only the account’s owner can make it private.
What are the Household, Mine and partner views?
They filter what you see: Household is everything you can see together, Mine is the accounts you own, and the partner view is theirs. A private account only ever shows for its owner. Switch on Home or Accounts, and pick your default in More → Household → “Default view”.
How do I leave a household or remove someone?
A member can tap “Leave household”. Their private accounts and history are deleted and shared money stays. They can then start or join another household.
The owner can tap “Remove” next to a member, who loses access right away. The owner can’t leave; deleting their account hands the household to the person who joined first.
