Organize Personal, Couple, and Business Finances in One Place!

📂 What are Workspaces in Snabber?

Think of Snabber as a financial organizer that works in separate, independent compartments. Each compartment is a Workspace: it has its own balance, its own bank accounts, cards, investments, transactions, and reports.

When you create an account on Snabber, a Personal Workspace is automatically generated for you — that's where all your individual finances live. Starting with the Pro plan, you can create additional shared Workspaces, inviting other people to participate.

The result? A clear separation between what's yours, what's the couple's, what's the family's, and what's the business's — without spreadsheets, without confusion, and without mixing money.

The core idea

A single app. Multiple financial contexts. You switch between Workspaces with a tap — like switching tabs in a browser — and each one shows exactly what belongs to that context.

🎯 Who it's ideal for: couples, families, and businesses

The Workspaces feature was designed for people who need to manage finances with more than one person — or to clearly separate personal from professional money. Here are the main use cases:

💑

Couples

Create a shared Workspace for couple expenses — rent, groceries, travel — and keep your personal spending in your individual Workspace. No mixing, no judgment.

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Families

Mom, dad, and adult children in the same family Workspace. Track kids' allowances, the collective emergency fund, and travel goals — everyone contributing in real time.

🏢

Small businesses

Separate your business cash flow from personal money once and for all. Track operating expenses and share access with your partner or accountant.

🤝

Shared housing

Manage household bills with your roommates: internet, condo fees, cleaning. Everyone sees everything, everyone knows how much they owe.

🔗 Open Finance integrated with Workspaces

Snabber uses Open Finance to automatically import your statements, balances, cards, and investments directly from banks — no manual entry needed. And the integration goes further: you decide which Workspace each banking connection lives in.

This means you can, for example:

  • Link your personal checking account to the Personal Workspace.
  • Link the couple's joint account to the Family Workspace.
  • Link the business account to the Business Workspace.

Each environment stays isolated, dashboards only show what belongs to that context, and reports remain clean and accurate.

Over 400 banks and fintechs connected

Via Open Finance and Pluggy, Snabber connects with Nubank, Itaú, Bradesco, Santander, Inter, XP, BTG, C6, and dozens of other institutions. Sync happens automatically — you see transactions appear in the right Workspace without any effort.

🔀 What you can move between Workspaces

Connected a bank to the wrong place? No problem. You can reorganize your data at any time, moving items between Workspaces easily and without losing history. Here's what can be transferred:

💳 Credit cards 🏦 Bank accounts 📈 Investments 💸 Transactions 🔗 Open Finance connections

How to move an item between Workspaces

Go to the item you want to move (for example, a card), open the options, and choose "Move to another Workspace". Select the destination Workspace and confirm. The transaction history follows the item automatically.

This is especially useful when you start with everything in one place and decide to separate later: move cards and accounts to the correct Workspaces and, in minutes, your organization will be perfect.

✨ How to create a Workspace step by step

1

Access the Workspace selector

At the top of the app, click on your current Workspace name. A menu will open showing all your Workspaces and the option to create a new one.

2

Click "New Workspace"

Give the space a name — for example Family, Business, or Couple. The name can be up to 20 characters.

3

Configure the Workspace

The new Workspace comes with pre-created default categories. You can customize them, link accounts via Open Finance, or move data from your personal Workspace.

4

Ready to use

Switch between Workspaces at any time using the selector at the top. Each Workspace has its own dashboard, transactions, goals, and reports.

👥 How to invite people to your Workspace

Sharing a Workspace is as simple as sending an email:

1

Open the Workspace settings

While in the Workspace you want to share, go to Settings → Members.

2

Click "Invite Member"

Enter the person's email and choose their role: Administrator, Member, or Read-Only.

3

The person receives an invitation email

Snabber sends a secure link valid for 30 days. The person can accept even without a Snabber account — registration happens at the time of acceptance.

4

Real-time collaboration

Once the invitation is accepted, the person will have immediate access to the Workspace with the permissions you defined. Any entry appears for everyone instantly.

🔐 Roles and permissions

You have full control over what each person can do within the Workspace:

Permission Administrator Member Read-Only
View transactions and balances
Log and edit transactions
Connect accounts via Open Finance
Invite new members
Remove members and manage roles
Rename or remove the Workspace

Read-Only is perfect for giving access to your accountant or a business partner who needs to follow the numbers without changing anything. Member is ideal for spouses and family members who need to log their own expenses.

❓ Frequently asked questions

Do I need to pay to use shared Workspaces?

Every user gets a free Personal Workspace. Creating additional Workspaces for sharing is available on Paid plans.

Does the person I'm inviting need a Snabber account?

No. You send the invitation to their email. If they don't have an account yet, they'll be directed to a quick registration when they accept. The invitation is valid for 30 days.

How many Workspaces can I create?

On the Pro plan there's no practical limit. You can create as many as you need — one for each project, business, or family group.

Can I link the same bank account to two Workspaces?

Each Open Finance connection lives in a single Workspace at a time. But you can move the connection between Workspaces whenever you want, without losing transaction history.

If I leave a shared Workspace, is my personal data safe?

Yes. Your Personal Workspace is completely separate and is never affected by other Workspaces. When you leave a shared one, you simply lose access to it — your data and Personal Workspace remain intact.

Does Snabber work as cash flow control for small businesses?

Yes. Create a dedicated Workspace for the business, connect the business account via Open Finance, categorize income and expenses with business categories, and share access with your partner or accountant. The dashboard will show cash flow in real time.
