What are Recurring Debts?
Recurring Debts automatically generate future debt entries based on a schedule you define (weekly, monthly, or custom intervals). You’ll receive reminders if notifications are enabled in Settings. Perfect for rent, subscriptions, or regular payments.
How do groups help organize my debts?
Groups help you categorize debts by people, projects, or trips. For example, create a “Roommates” group for shared apartment expenses, or a “Europe Trip” group for vacation costs. This keeps everything organized and easy to find.
What is Split Expenses?
Split Expenses allows you to divide costs among multiple people, ideal for trips or group activities. Add participants, record who paid for what, and the app automatically calculates who owes whom. It even suggests optimal payment arrangements to minimize transactions!
What is Split Bill?
Split Bill is a quick calculator that divides any bill amount among participants. Enter the total amount, number of people, and optional tip percentage—the app instantly calculates each person’s share.
What is Scan to Split?
This feature uses your camera to scan receipts and automatically extract items and prices. After scanning, you can assign items to different people, split individual items among multiple people, and add tips. It’s the easiest way to divide restaurant bills!
Can I change the currency?
Yes. Go to Settings > Default Currency to select your preferred currency. This will be used for all new entries. Currency conversions are displayed inline where applicable.
