If you go out with friends often (and they're generally the same groups), then you know those scenarios where you eat together, and one person pays the bill, then you pay the guy who paid later. This is sometimes rather tedious, and generally also sometimes inaccurate. If this scenario is part of your daily life, then EZSplit might be the app for you. ** We support fraction values for almost everything so it could be as precise as possible. How it works : (If this doesn't make much sense to you, don't worry about it) ========== This application works on a "zero-sum" basis. Basically, when a person pays a bill, what happens is that they pay partly for their own purchases, but they also pay "extra" for other people. Basically the debts of other people could be represented as them having "excess" money, while the person who paid for them could be considered as having "deficit" money. The sum of these amounts will equal to zero. How to use ======== 1. Create a new list for the group of friends you tend to hang out with (or create a list for some event/some trip you're going to) - Add people to the list, and optionally (if you want) add images - You can also sync over people's profiles using QR codes (entirely offline) or online 2. Once you create a list, you can start adding transaction events to it (payments, refunds, etc) - There are two types of transactions; External and Internal. - External is for payments and refunds - Internal is for transfers between members of the group (e.g. settling debts). - You can enter details in various ways! You have the option to pick the type of scenario that fits your use case best 1. Specify individual items, their prices and how much each people bought in that transaction - You can specify individual item prices, how much each person bought (and you can even enter fractions! Like Mr. Champ owes 1/3 of the pizza price while you owe 2/3 of the price!) - You can specify the paid amount to be different from the sum of the prices. This is useful for when there are discounts, etc during checkout, which causes the paid amount to be different. EZSplit will simply scale down/scale up the amount each person owes by the same ratio of difference between the total sum of the price and the actual price paid. 2. Specify ratios between each person, and specify the total amount paid - This will split how much each person owes by the ratio you specify - This one sees use when you do things like buy multiple of the same items together (like I buy 2 sushis while Champ there buys 5 of them, and you know the total amount paid) 3. The transaction involves all people in the list, equally - A rarely used option, but you'd be glad it exists sometimes 3. (At this point you've added a transaction) Look at who owes who how much - At the top of the list, you'll see members of the list along with their tallies of how much they owe. - People in the green have excess money and need to pay back others by that amount - People in the red have money deficit, and needs people to pay them back by that amount (The sum of all values is zero at all times) 4. Settle debts - Simply have people in the red pay people in the green - To do this, you can either 1. using the information given by the app, discuss between yourselves, then create internal transactions to represent the settlements 2. use the auto "Settle" button at the bottom of the screen to generate settlements for you - For auto Settlement suggestion generation, press on the "Settle" button at the bottom left of the screen, and it'll show you the appropriate transactions between your friends to settle your debts (who has to pay who how much) - simply actually pay your friends by that much and press OK to complete settlement To sync lists between multiple devices, press the "Sync" button and follow instructions. I hope you find this useful.

Roosta

Roosta is an alarm clock for heavy sleepers — the ones who turn the alarm off in their sleep and wake up an hour late with no memory of doing it. An ordinary alarm stops with one tap, and a half-asleep hand can manage that. Roosta doesn't stop until you've actually done something: solved a math problem, walked thirty steps, done push-ups in front of the camera, or scanned the QR code you stuck on the bathroom mirror. By the time it goes quiet, you're standing up. No more oversleeping. No more snoozing through four alarms. HOW IT WORKS 1. Set the alarm and pick your challenge 2. It rings as a real system alarm — through silent, through Focus, even if the app was force-quit 3. Complete the mission 4. The alarm stops, and you're already out of bed 17 WAKE-UP CHALLENGES MATH AND PUZZLES • Math — solve equations at the difficulty you pick • Sequence — watch a pattern, then tap it back • Match Pairs — a memory game to wake your brain up • Typing — type the phrase exactly, no autocorrect GET MOVING • Steps — walk it off before the alarm stops • Push-ups — real reps, counted by the camera • Squats — same, in front of the propped-up phone • Shake — shake the phone until you're awake PHOTO AND SCAN • Object Hunt — photograph a random everyday object • Pet Hunt — go find a cat, a dog or a bird • Sky Photo — get to a window and point at the sky • Nature Hunt — find something growing • Touch Grass — exactly what it says • Scan a code — stick a QR code or barcode in the bathroom and walk there ROUTINE • Affirmation — read a line out loud • Bible verse — read a verse out loud • Random — a surprise every morning WHY SNOOZING MAKES IT WORSE Every snooze drops you back into a sleep cycle your alarm interrupts nine minutes later. That unfinished cycle is why five more minutes leaves you groggier than none. Roosta puts a small task between you and the off button — not a punishment, just something that happens to require being upright. A SERIOUS ALARM CLOCK UNDERNEATH Challenges are the point, but an alarm that doesn't ring is worthless. Roosta schedules with the system, not with the app, so it wakes you on silent, in Focus, and with no signal. Everything runs on your iPhone. • Loud, with fade-in volume that starts quiet and rises • A volume target the alarm holds, separate from your phone's • Eight wake-up sounds, from Sunrise to Foghorn • Repeat on the days you choose, with a label on every alarm • Vibration, and an option to silence the ringing while you work the challenge • Snooze if you want it — cap it, or switch it off completely IT WILL NEVER TRAP YOU Every challenge has a way out. Get stuck and it gets easier; stay stuck and you can stop the alarm outright. Friction is the point. Missing your flight is not. STREAKS AND STATS Get up each day to keep the flame alive. Roosta tracks wake-ups, challenges won, how long you take to get out of bed, and which ones you're best at, plus achievements. And there's a rooster. He cheers when you win and shrugs when you don't — and never makes you feel bad about a morning. PRIVACY • Camera frames are analysed on your device and are never saved or sent anywhere • Your voice is processed on your device for spoken challenges, never recorded • No account, no sign-up, nothing to remember at 6am • Usage analytics are anonymous, exclude your camera, audio and alarm names, and can be switched off ROOSTA PLUS Roosta is free to try and needs no account. Roosta Plus unlocks every challenge and sound, and keeps your alarms running. Pricing and duration are shown before you pay. Payment is charged to your Apple Account at confirmation of purchase.
