What is Riti?
An expense, budget and gift-money tracker for Indian weddings and family functions. It holds what you spend, what you still owe and the shagun and moi guests give back — for families in India and across the US, the UK, the Gulf, Canada, Australia, Singapore and Malaysia.
Is Riti only for families in India?
No. Indian families use Riti wherever they live, and the ledger formats in 9 currencies, so a wedding in New Jersey reads in dollars. What it is built around is the Indian function itself — muhurtham dates from a real panchangam, the shagun and moi ledger, and separate books for each side.
Is Riti only for weddings?
No. The same ledger runs engagements, seemantham and valaikappu, griha pravesh, upanayanam, cradle ceremonies, first birthdays, anniversaries and retirement parties. Every function a household hosts stays in one place, year after year.
What can I actually track in it?
Vendor quotes and contracts, advances and instalments, balances still owed with their due dates, and category budgets against actual spend. On the way in, the cash and gold guests give — so the true net cost of the function is a number you can see.
Does it handle a multi-day wedding with two sides?
Yes, and it is the part generic budget apps get wrong. Each function is its own event with its own budget, and each side keeps its own book — so two families can share a wedding without sharing a wallet.
Can several people in the family use one account?
Yes. Up to six family members share one household — the same events, the same budget, the same ledger. Nobody re-types numbers out of a group chat.
Which currencies does Riti work in?
INR, USD, GBP, EUR, AED, CAD, AUD, SGD, MYR. A household picks one and any single event can override it. Amounts are never converted between currencies, so a gift recorded abroad is never mixed into a total recorded at home.
Which languages can I dictate in?
Voice entry works in English, Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam, Telugu, Kannada. It is the fastest way to clear a stack of shagun covers after a function. The rest of the app is in English.
Does Riti hold my money or message my guests?
No to both. Riti records what you tell it — it never holds, moves or takes a cut. And reminders come to you with a message already drafted; you decide what actually gets sent.
