Two sides of the same promise
The person who gives and the person who receives are looking at very different things, and the app is built that way on purpose.
| What you can see | Giving | Receiving |
|---|---|---|
| The pot balance | Yes | No |
| Who else is on the list | Yes, all of them | No |
| What others were promised | Yes | No |
| Your own arrangement | Yes | Yes — and only this |
| Every run and its outcome | Yes | Only the ones that paid you |
| Schedules and caps | Yes | No |
| The main account | Yes | No |
| Ability to ask | n/a | Yes, if the owner allows it |
| Ability to pause | Yes, anyone | No |

This is not a permissions afterthought. A family arrangement is private between two people even when the same person is running five of them. Your brother does not learn what your mother receives.

Both at once
Most people are both
A daughter sends her mother an allowance and receives help with her own children’s fees from an older brother. In the app that is one account with a switch at the top of the home screen. The switch appears only if you genuinely have both sides — if you only give, you will never see it.
