One shared ledger for the money and hours each of you puts in. It works out everyone's fair share and who pays whom, so nobody has to keep score in the group chat.
You're one of 63 million Americans caring for family. 78% of people caring for an adult relative pay out of their own pocket, $7,242 a year on average.

One sibling quietly covers more. Receipts get lost. Hours of driving never count. And asking a brother or sister for money feels so awkward that nobody asks.
Did anyone pay Mom's pharmacy this month?
Everyone logs to the same ledger from their own phone, with who paid and when.
I've driven her every Thursday since March.
Hours of driving, overnights and phone calls count at an hourly value your family picks.
I don't want to be the one asking for money.
It lists who pays whom, with Venmo, Cash App, PayPal and Zelle buttons ready to go.
Wait, who's picking up the shower chair?
Shared to-dos and a private family chat live right beside the balances.
Sign in with your email, tell us who you're caring for, then send your siblings an invite link by text, email or WhatsApp.
Type it, say it, or snap a receipt. Money and time both go in, plus monthly bills like an aide or a pharmacy plan.
Fair shares update right away. Pay back in the app you already use, tap Mark as paid, and the balances update.
Change the numbers and watch the fair share move. This is the same math the ledger uses. Nothing here is saved.
The example ledger is a full working copy with a sample family. Add an expense, mark a payment, check the to-dos. No account needed.

Yes. Everything is free during early access, with no card needed. If paid plans ever come, you'll hear about it in the app first.
No. It works out who should pay whom. The Venmo, Cash App and PayPal buttons open those apps with the amount filled in, and Zelle copies the right email or phone. You send the money there, then tap Mark as paid.
Only people who join with your family's invite link. Nobody else, including other families, can see it. Read the privacy page for the details.
To see the ledger and add to it, yes. Signing in only takes an email address, with no password. Anyone can also log something on another person's behalf, so one sibling not signing up doesn't stop the rest of you.
All the money spent plus all the time given (at your hourly value) goes into one pool. Each person's fair share is their part of that pool, based on their share: 1 is an equal share, 0.5 is half. The ledger compares what each person has put in with their fair share and lists the payments that make everyone even.
No. Time counts at an hourly value your family sets, starting at $20 an hour. You can change that, or switch time off and balance money only.
When you add a photo, it's read by an AI service (Anthropic's Claude) to fill in the amount, date and store. The photo is kept only if you save the entry, only your family can see it, and you can remove it anytime.
It works in the browser on any iPhone, Android phone or computer. You can add it to your home screen so it opens like an app. App store versions are being prepared.
Yes. On the Team tab, tap Delete my account. If you can't sign in, email privacy@siblingcareledger.com. See how deletion works.

Looking after a parent is a lot. This page keeps the receipts and the hours in one place, so family conversations can be about Mom, not the math.

Two quick questions and you're in.
Tap the face that fits best, or build one from scratch.
Three small steps and you're set. It takes about a minute.
Not sure yet?
All time, after any paybacks you've marked.
Pay each other however you already do (Venmo, Zelle, cash), then tap Mark as paid so the balance updates. This page doesn't move money.
Post it in the family chat here, or send it by text, email or any app on your phone.
Tap Talk (or the microphone on your phone's keyboard) and say what happened, or type it. One or two things at a time works best.
You can also say things like “Drove Mom to cardiology Thursday, about 3 hours”, “Ben paid me back 40 dollars” or “Remind Carla to call Medicare by Friday”. Nothing is saved until you tap Save.
Planning something big, like a stairlift or a new aide? Ask here first so nobody gets a surprise bill. Everyone else taps OK or Let's talk.
Only people in your family's ledger can read this.
No messages yet. Say hi, or share an update.
Share sets each person's portion. 1 is an equal share. Use 0.5 for someone who agreed to cover half as much, 0 for someone who only helps with time.
Send this link to your siblings by text, email or any app. They sign in with their email and join this ledger. Each link works for 14 days.
Caring for someone else too?
This deletes your sign-in, your name, your chat messages, and any ledger where you're the only member, including its receipt photos. In a ledger you share with family, the entries stay for them. This can't be undone.
