TallyTrip is the free, private way for any group to track and split travel expenses. Family vacation, friends' getaway, destination wedding, work offsite — someone adds a dinner in seconds, and everyone instantly sees their share. WHY TALLYTRIP - Completely free. No subscription, no ads, no feature paywalls, no expense caps. - Private by design. Your data lives on your device and in your own iCloud. There is no company server — the developer cannot see your trips. No analytics, no tracking, ever. - No accounts to create. Sign in once with your Apple ID and you're in. People you travel with don't need to register for anything. TRACK EVERY EXPENSE, EFFORTLESSLY - Add an expense in seconds: title, amount, category, who paid. - Split equally, by exact amounts, or by percentages — or leave someone out of a split entirely. - Snap a photo of the receipt and it stays attached to the expense. - Pay in any currency: foreign amounts convert automatically with up-to-date exchange rates. - Comments on expenses keep the "wait, what was this?" conversations in one place. ALWAYS KNOW WHO OWES WHOM - Live balances for the whole group, updated with every expense. - One tap shows the minimum number of payments needed to settle the whole trip. - Mark debts settled without losing the history. - Gentle settle-up reminders — because someone always forgets. BUILT FOR GROUPS - Share a trip through iCloud and everyone sees expenses and balances update live. - See who added or edited each expense. - Invite-only sharing — the trip owner stays in control. AND WHEN THE TRIP'S OVER - A summary shows where the money went, by category and over time. - Export any trip as a PDF to share, or as a complete archive file (receipts included) for your records. - Archive finished trips and keep your list clean — past trips stay one tap away. TallyTrip works fully offline and without iCloud, too — sync and sharing simply switch on when iCloud is available. Count it. Split it. Travel on.
