The family shagun register — who gave what, and what you still owe back

What you can do in Shagun on the web
Reciprocity balance per person
Every person carries a running given / received split and a net balance, so you know whether the obligation still sits with you or with them.
The register your elders keep on paper
Add people with relation, family side (my family, spouse's family, friend) and city, then log each gift with amount, direction, occasion type, event name, date and a note.
Auspicious amounts built in
One-tap chips for ₹501, ₹1,100, ₹2,100, ₹5,100, ₹11,000, ₹21,000 and ₹51,000 — and a suggested next shagun that clears what you still owe someone.
Occasion roll-ups
Every entry sharing an event name — 'Priya & Arjun Wedding', 'Diwali 2025' — groups into one occasion view showing who gave, who received and the totals both ways.
Search the whole register
One search box across names, relations, cities, event names, occasions, notes and amounts — the thing a handwritten register can never do.
Rupee-aware, or not
Amounts print in Indian lakh grouping (11,11,000) for ₹, or standard grouping for dollars, pounds and dirhams if the family lives abroad. Export the whole register as CSV any time.
