The unlock
A dashboard tells you the past. Safe to Spend tells you now.
Aggregating accounts is solved. What isn't solved is putting a single, bills-aware, spendable number on both partners' lock screens the moment anything changes. That's the gap OneTruth Money fills.
The number, not the chart
Less time reading dashboards, more time knowing the one number that decides 'can I afford this?'
On the lock screen
The shared widget updates the moment a bill is paid — you don't have to open anything.
No ads. Data never sold.
We don't run ad trackers, and we never sell your data — there's nothing to sell, because the business model doesn't depend on it. Bank connections are read-only through Plaid.
Built for the household
Shared workspaces with roles, free for invited Members, so the whole household works from one truth.
