Built for Samoan families

One record for every fa'alavelave.

Tusi keeps your aiga's si'i, reciprocity and event finances in one place — maliu, fa'aipoipoga, saofa'i, lotu and every gathering in between. No more shoeboxes of receipts. No more guessing who gave what.

The weight every family carries

The obligation is sacred. The bookkeeping shouldn't be a burden.

When a fa'alavelave comes, the aiga gives everything. But the record of who gave, what was spent, and what must be returned too often lives in someone's head, a notebook, or a box of crumpled receipts.

The shoebox problem

Receipts pile up across funeral homes, caterers, churches and travel. By the time the family asks "what did we spend?", half of them are lost.

Who gave what?

Si'i carries an obligation to reciprocate — for years, for generations. Forgetting an aiga's gift isn't an admin error. It's a breach of va.

It all falls on one person

Usually one family member holds the whole picture. When they're grieving, travelling or simply tired, the record goes with them.

What Tusi does

Everything the aiga needs to hold the record together.

A multi-event platform that tracks finances through a Pacifica lens — not a Western spreadsheet bolted onto a sacred custom.

Unlimited events

Add every fa'alavelave as its own record — funeral, wedding, saofa'i, church or reunion. Each one keeps its own si'i, receipts and budget, all under the one aiga.

Si'i in & out

Record every gift — money, fine mats ('ie tōga), food or other — and who it came from. Tick it off once it's acknowledged and thanked the proper way.

Reciprocity across generations

Tusi's signature view: what each aiga has given you, set against what you've returned. See at a glance who you owe and who owes you — the obligation that carries across every fa'alavelave.

Receipts & per-event budget

Log every expense by category and see the running balance — si'i received against money spent — for each event. Always know where the aiga stands.

Powered by AI

Snap a receipt — Tusi reads it

Photograph a receipt or a handwritten si'i list and Tusi pulls out the vendor, amount, date and category for you to confirm. The record stays accurate even when the day is chaos and nobody has time to type.

For Samoan funerals

A funeral plan that follows the fa'aSāmoa

Five stages, each with its own checklist drawn from custom — Fa'asāmoa, Funeral Director, Plot or Cremation, Family Service & Burial Day and Catering. Set the location and time for each and share it with guests in a tap. Add a live-feed link so family overseas can watch. Assign every task to a member, contact or guest, and watch the plan fill up.

The whole aiga, with the right access

Invite family members and give each the right level: Full access, Financials, Events only, or Viewer. The money side stays private to those who should see it.

Trusted & transparent

Every change is logged in an audit trail, so the family can always see who recorded what and when. Trust is the whole point — the record protects it.

Inside Tusi

This is what the record looks like.

Real screens from the live app — a demo aiga with fictional names, the exact workflow your family will use.

The event overview

Open the event. The answers are already there.

Si'i received, sao collected, fesoasoani, spent and on hand — the whole fa'alavelave on one page, updated the moment anyone records a thing.

  • Money at a glance — funds in against money out, and exactly what's on hand right now.
  • Where the si'i came from, where the money went — top contributors and spending, side by side.
  • Needs attention — two si'i still to acknowledge? Tusi won't let the aiga forget a thank-you.

Si'i, recorded with respect

Say it the way you'd tell the family. Tusi writes it.

"Leota family brought $500 cash and 10 boxes pisupo, presented by Tuilagi Sefo." Speak or type it — Samoan, English or both — and Tusi writes the full line for you to check before it saves.

  • The matai chain is honoured — who presented, which line they represented, and who tali'd the si'i.
  • Money and measina on one record — 5 'ie tōga, 20 boxes pisupo and A$3,000 together, the way it was given.
  • Alofa is marked apart from formal si'i — a gift of love is recorded with love, not as a debt.

Sao — the family assessment

Every line knows where it stands. No awkward phone calls.

Set the sao goal and Tusi tracks each line of the family — pledged, collected, still to come — so the record speaks quietly and nobody is shamed.

  • A$24,000 goal, A$16,300 collected — 68% there, and everyone can see the same number.
  • Paid, Partial, Owing — paternal line, maternal line, in-laws, the Brisbane line, each at a glance.
  • The notes carry the grace — "paying the rest after payday" · "paid in full — malo lava".

The funeral plan

Every finished task raises the faleo'o.

A Samoan funeral has five stages, and Tusi maps each one to a part of the fale. As the aiga completes tasks, the fale rises on screen — the whole family watches the work come together.

  • Paepae (the stone foundation) is the Fa'asāmoa — matai, village and church obligations.
  • Pou the funeral director · 'au'au ma so'a the plot · taualuga the burial day · pola the catering.
  • 35 tasks, each assignable to a member, contact or guest — share locations and times in a tap.

AI scanning

Photograph it. Tusi reads it.

A funeral-home receipt, a spreadsheet, or the handwritten si'i list from the table — take a photo and the AI pulls out every line for you to check. Nothing saves until you confirm.

  • Receipts sorted automatically — vendor, amount, date and category, ready to review.
  • Handwritten si'i lists become ledger rows — Samoan, English or both on the same page.
  • The AI types; the family decides — every save carries your name and the time.

Insights

When the aiga asks where it all went — show them.

Who gave si'i and when, money in versus out by day, the running position, top families, spending by share. The questions every family meeting asks, answered in one screen.

  • Who gave, and when — every aiga's si'i plotted across the days of the fa'alavelave.
  • Spending share — Service 60%, Plot 15%, Food 13% — no more guessing where the money went.
  • The running position — watch the balance move day by day, from first si'i to final bill.

Gafa

The lineage the si'i flows through.

Tusi holds the gafa too. Build the family tree by hand — or tell the story and the AI draws it. Branches, villages and titles, every line connected.

  • Build from a story — speak the genealogy the way it's told, and watch the tree appear.
  • Branches and villages on every person — Sā Seiuli (Vaimoso), Sā Fonoti (Falelatai).
  • The same names flow through to si'i records and reciprocity — one family, one record.

The audit trail

Every change, who made it, and when. Trust is the whole point — the record protects it.

Built through a Pacifica lens

This is more than money. It's relationship.

Tusi is designed around the values that make a fa'alavelave what it is — not a finance app dressed in tapa, but a tool that understands why the record matters.

Va
The sacred space between

Every gift recorded, every thank-you ticked off, every obligation honoured — Tusi exists to protect the relationships that hold the aiga together.

Tautua
Service to family

Carrying the record is a form of tautua. Tusi takes the weight off the one person who always carries it, so service can be shared.

Fa'aaloalo
Respect & reciprocity

Knowing what was given and what is owed lets the aiga reciprocate with dignity — never forgetting, never falling short, never causing shame.

Simple from day one

Set it up in minutes. Use it for generations.

Questions

Things families ask us.

Is this only for Samoan families?

Tusi is built first for Samoan fa'alavelave — funerals, weddings and saofa'i — because that's where the need is sharpest. But the same lens of reciprocity and ceremonial giving runs across Pasifika, so any family that practises si'i or koha can use it.

What does the A$199 cover?

One subscription covers your entire aiga — unlimited family members and unlimited events. There are no per-event or per-person charges. It's A$199 plus GST (A$218.90 total) billed every 6 months, and you can cancel anytime.

Can the whole family use it without everyone seeing the money?

Yes. You invite each family member at the right level — Full access, Financials, Events only, or Viewer. People who help run the event can record si'i and gifts without ever seeing the spending side. The money wall is built in.

How does the receipt scanning work?

Take a photo of a receipt or even a handwritten si'i list, and Tusi reads the details — vendor, amount, date, category — for you to check and save. It keeps the record accurate when the day is busy and nobody has time to type everything in.

Is our family's information safe and private?

Your record is private to your aiga and backed up securely in the cloud. Every change is logged in an audit trail so the family can always see who recorded what. We never sell your data.

What if we already started in a notebook or spreadsheet?

That's fine — you can add past events and the si'i you remember, so your reciprocity history is captured from the start. The sooner you record it, the less the aiga has to carry in their heads.

Hold the record together.

Give your aiga one place for every fa'alavelave — so nothing given is forgotten, and nothing owed is missed.
