Buhata keeps two ideas apart on purpose, and understanding them takes about two minutes.
Private is the root
Everything starts private. Your entries belong to you, sit on your own device, and stay invisible to everyone in any Space you join, including whoever runs it.
A Space is one shared place
There used to be three kinds of container here: a household, a team, a group. Each had its own rules and its own vocabulary, and none of it helped anyone put the groceries on a list. There is one kind now, and it is called a Space.
Your Personal Space is yours alone, it is free, and it never goes away. Beyond that, a Space can be your family, a trip you are planning with friends, or a small business. Buhata does not ask which. It asks the name.
A Space holds its own entries and its own balance, so a client payment never lands in the grocery budget.
- Free: your Personal Space
- Plus: 3 Spaces in total
- Premium: 10 Spaces in total
A Winner's Circle win doubles whichever you have, so Plus becomes 6 and Premium becomes 20. A Space that somebody shares with you never counts against your own number.
What sharing does not share
Money, health, journals and notes always stay each person's own. That holds on every plan, in every Space, and it is a rule in the code rather than a setting somebody could switch off.
Everything else is shared only when you put it in a shared Space on purpose. Nothing you write moves anywhere by accident.
Joining somebody else's Space
You do not need a paid plan to join one. A friend on the free plan can come into your Space, read what is shared there, and tick things off.
If you want somebody to have the paid tools inside your Spaces, that is what Seats are for. Plus includes one extra full seat and Premium includes three, so the people you live with are covered by one subscription instead of paying twice.
Who sees what
Your Personal Space stays yours even from whoever administers a Space you have joined. Children are different: there are no child logins in Buhata and never have been. A child is somebody a parent keeps track of, so the chores, the reward balance and the notices belong to the parent's account, and there is nothing for a child to sign into.
Sharing is decided per Space, by you, and the default for anything new is private.
