Invite your partner
Your partner joins with their own login: no shared passwords, no joint account required, and separate finances work fine. The invite is a message with a link and a 6-character code; both work for 7 days, shared however you like.
Open the invite page
Section titled “Open the invite page”- During setup: after the reveal, if you chose With a partner or My household, the screen One number for the two of you. offers Share invite right away, or Later.
- Any time after: go to Household (on iPhone, More → Household) and tap the Add your partner row in the People list.
Share the invite
Section titled “Share the invite”The invite page is headed One number for the two of you. and explains what your partner gets: the same Safe-to-Spend™ you see, bills confirmed together at the check-in, and anything they mark private kept private. Under the avatars, with an empty seat beside yours, three ways to hand over the link:
- Share invite opens your phone’s share sheet with a ready message: Riley invited you to share one number for your household on Amppfy. Get the app and join: app.amppfy.com/join/7K3PQ2. Your invite code is 7K3-PQ2 (good for 7 days). Send it by Messages, WhatsApp, email, whatever you use.
- Copy link puts the link on your clipboard. The code sits under the link on the invite page (Code 7K3-PQ2 · works for 7 days).
- Show QR code draws the link as a code, for a partner sitting next to you: they point their camera at it and the link opens.
The link and the code work for 7 days. The pending invite then shows in the People list as Invite link · code 7K3-PQ2 · invited Nov 12, 2026 · works for 7 days, with Copy (copies the whole message) and Cancel.
What your partner sees
Section titled “What your partner sees”Most partners get the text on a phone without the app yet, so the message leads with the app:
- Get the app. Tapping the link on a phone without Amppfy opens a page headed Riley invited you to Riley & Sam. with the App Store and Google Play buttons, the code, and Prefer the web? Join on app.amppfy.com for anyone who would rather not install anything.
- Enter the code. In the app, the welcome screen has Have an invite code? under the sign-in line. It opens six boxes; typing the sixth character checks the code. A wrong code says That code didn’t match. Check the text you were sent.
- Create their own login. The next screen reads Riley invited you to Riley & Sam. Create your own login. You’ll see the same number Riley sees. with Sign up with Apple, Sign up with Google, Sign up with email, and Already have an account? Sign in. From that first sign-in their account belongs to your household: no setup of their own, and they land on Today with a card that says You’re in. This is Riley & Sam’s number. You both see the same one.
If the app is already installed, tapping the link opens it straight on that last screen. You get an email that they joined, and their avatar appears next to yours at the top of Today.
One household per person: someone who already has their own Amppfy household sees You’re already in … Leave it first (Household → Leave) to join this one. instead of the Join button.

What they can see
Section titled “What they can see”Shared accounts, bills and goals are visible to both of you; anything either of you marks private stays private. The details are in Shared vs. private.
Their one job
Section titled “Their one job”The weekly check-in is designed to be done together: ten minutes a week. When one of you closes the week, the other gets a heads-up and the three-card close says Sam will see this when they open the app.
If the link stopped working
Section titled “If the link stopped working”Links and codes last 7 days and work once. A used or expired code says so in one line (This invite was already used. / This invite has expired.). Open Household, cancel the old invite from the People list, and open Add your partner again for a fresh one.
