Organize your own and shared expenses. Do you and your partner want to log how much you're spending for your household and merge the expenses entered on your individual devices? Are you on holidays with friends and want to know how much you are spending? If you are sharing your expenses, do you need a tool to document your balances and debts to one another? Are you sharing a holiday or a household with others and would you like everyone to log their own expenses into one common list, each on their own device? Do you want to know how much you're spending for your hobby, on your business trip, or any other expenses? Use Expense Tool, create an expense set and start entering your data. Your expenses can be listed, shown on a map, exported (by email or to a file) and printed. Expense Sets can be synced across your own devices via iCloud, shared with other people, or transferred directly from device to device. If more than one person is part of an expense set, you get a summary showing the total of all individual expenses and the balance of the shared expenses.
