One line
Pairly is a shared budget for two people who split the bills and not the bank account.
Short
Pairly gives two people who share fixed costs one picture of the month: what leaves, who covers it, and what is left. It has no bank connection — everything is typed in on purpose — which is the whole design rather than a missing feature.
Full
Pairly is a shared budget for couples and housemates who split the bills without sharing an account. It shows what leaves each month, who is covering it, and what is actually left for each person — a figure most households can only guess at. It does not connect to a bank. Nothing is imported, nothing is categorised automatically, and there is no financial login to hand over. Everything in it is typed in by somebody in the household, which takes a few minutes once and removes the single largest category of risk a budgeting product carries. It was built by two people who share their own bills and have never shared an account, after a spreadsheet lasted three weeks and every app they tried wanted a bank login.
