Track money owed, borrowed items, favors, tasks and chores — and let either side create the IOU. More than just an expense splitter. Unlike a typical expense splitter or debt tracker, IOweU handles every kind of IOU. You paid for a friend's drinks? Create an IOU. Someone borrowed your drill? Create an IOU. Your kid needs to clean the kitchen? Create an IOU — with an optional reward. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create — Add an IOU for money owed, a borrowed item, a favor, or a task. Make it personal with a photo or animated GIF. 2. Share — Send it inside IOweU and the other person gets notified instantly and can respond — or share via any messaging app. Changed your mind? Withdraw, change and resubmit. 3. Resolve — The other side can accept, reject, or propose changes. When done, settle or waive the IOU.
