Ambagan is an expense app built for friends, families, and barkada — and now for you on your own. Split shared bills without the awkward math, and track your personal spending in the same place. WHY AMBAGAN • Split any way you want — equally, by percentage, or with fully custom amounts. Multiple people chipped in for one expense? Ambagan breaks down each person's share automatically. • Always know where you stand — your net balance across every group sits right on the home screen. Tap any friend to see exactly what you owe each other. • Settle up with proof — request, approve, or reject settlements with proof-of-payment photos, and bulk-settle across all your groups at once. • Works offline — the moment you need to record something is exactly the moment you have no signal. Log it right there; Ambagan saves it locally and syncs the second you reconnect. • Join in seconds — share a group invite link or QR code and friends just scan to join. TRACK YOUR OWN SPENDING • Books — personal ledgers like Daily, Japan Trip, or Household, separate from any group. • Budgets — a cap that resets monthly or covers the whole book, showing paid and pending spend. Free for everyone. • Mark an expense paid or pending, so upcoming bills don't look like money already gone. • Link a book to a trip group to see what the trip really cost you. • Recurring personal expenses that post themselves (Pro). NEW WAYS TO LOG • Scan a receipt into a group or a book and let Ambagan fill in the details. • Set recurring expenses that post themselves (Pro). • Log in the local currency when you travel, and budget in another (Pro). • Sign in fast with Google or Apple. FREE & PRO Ambagan is free to download. Free users can log up to 5 expenses a day, with a separate daily allowance for personal expenses — and budgets are free for everyone. Pro removes the caps and unlocks the full feature set: multi-currency, recurring expenses, drafts, and spending analytics — available monthly, yearly, or as a 2-week plan for short trips. Whether it's a trip, a household, a regular night out, or just your own week — split it fairly, settle it cleanly.

Track your own spending in Books, right alongside the group splits you already keep here. BOOKS — YOUR OWN SPENDING • Books — personal ledgers like Daily, Japan Trip, or Household. Yours alone: no splitting, no members, no math. • Budgets — set a cap that resets every month or covers the whole book, and watch paid spend and pending bills fill the bar. Free for everyone. • Paid or Pending — log a bill before you've paid it, then mark it paid once you settle. Your totals keep the two apart. • Recurring personal expenses (Pro) — rent, subscriptions, and regulars post themselves. • Link a book to a trip group — see what the trip really cost you, your share of the group splits and your solo spending together. FOR TRAVELLERS • Give a book one currency for its budget and another for new expenses (Pro) — budget in pesos, spend in yen. • Set a home currency for any group (Pro). • Mixed-currency totals now show an approximate combined figure, with the rate date so you know how fresh it is. ALSO NEW • A Personal Spending card on your home screen, and a hero you can switch between Net Balance and Personal Spending. • Scan a receipt into a group or a book — just pick where it goes. • Get notified when a recurring expense posts, with its own toggle. • A guided tour on first launch, a Savings category, and a Groups/Personal filter in your analytics. • Books work fully offline, like everything else — log with no signal, sync when you're back. IMPROVEMENTS & FIXES • Receipt scanning is out of beta. • Refreshed empty states, clearer Pro status, and Android header menus. • Fixed settlement details failing to load, and tightened camera and photo permission prompts.
