Skip the subscription. Simple splits or complicated trips—make who owes what clear. Record who paid, choose who shares each cost, and enjoy the experience together.
Six riders and three support crew cross the desert. Different mates pay for bike petrol, support fuel and dinner. Who should share which costs?
How the app helps: Keep the trip in one group. Share bike petrol between the riders, common costs between everyone, and let the app calculate the balances.
The difference: The organiser can share a clear summary instead of untangling everyone’s expenses after the trip.
Fictional teaching examples. AI-created illustrations, not app screenshots. The app calculates balances; it does not transfer money.

Practical app guide
Split a dinner without charging everyone for everything
A practical walkthrough for Who Owes What. Use a separate group for the occasion, then record each cost against the people who actually shared it.
Fictional example: Alex pays $120 for dinner shared by Alex, Casey and Jo. Casey pays $30 for dessert shared only by Casey and Jo. Dinner is $40 each; dessert is $15 each for two people. Alex has paid $120 against a $40 share and gets back $80. Casey has paid $30 against a $55 share and owes $25. Jo has paid nothing against a $55 share and owes $55. The balances add to zero.
Create the group
Add Alex, Casey and Jo. Agree who shared each purchase before entering it; the person who paid is not necessarily the only person who benefits.
Record the two expenses separately
Enter dinner as $120 paid by Alex, shared by all three. Enter dessert as $30 paid by Casey, shared by Casey and Jo only. Check the amount, payer, participants and payment status before saving. A pending expense stays out of confirmed balances until confirmed.
Check before sharing
Compare the balances with the worked example. If they differ, check for a duplicate expense, the wrong participants or a pending entry. Review any recognised receipt text rather than assuming it is correct.
Send a copy, then record repayment
Preview the PDF or text summary and check whether it includes private notes or photos. Share only with your intended recipients. After a real repayment happens outside the app, record it; a calculated balance is not a transfer.

No. Share a PDF or text summary through your iPhone’s sharing options. Your friends can read the shared copy without installing the app. Copies do not update automatically.
Where are my group details stored?
