Splittr helps you to split group expenses on vacations, with your roommates or any other group activity. Simply add expenses as you go and Splittr will tell you who owes whom how much. Invite your friends and everybody can enter expenses with their own devices. - Works offline - Syncs with friends - No registration needed - All currencies supported - Categorize your expenses (custom categories available) - PDF and CSV export - Statistics and fun facts about your group - A super fast, easy-to-use interface - Smart settle-up that minimizes the number of payments - You can split expenses unevenly if purchasers paid different amounts or if certain participants benefited more or less from the expense - Automatic backups Use case: Imagine you are on a trip with two friends: Emma and Daniel. You pay $100 for gas for the trip. Anyone with a calculator can divide that price three ways, but even then, you’d normally have to keep a record of the expense in order to divvy it up later. With Splittr, this expense is entered in a couple of seconds and divided equally with little time or effort. Imagine that later, you, Emma and Daniel go to a restaurant. You’re not hungry, so you only order juice. Daniel orders a steak and a cheesecake. Emma gets a spinach salad. The bill is $80. Daniel forgot his wallet in the hotel room and doesn’t pay, but you chip in $60 and Emma pays $20. You need a math degree to calculate who owes what, right? Not with Splittr! Simply enter who paid how much and Splittr will do the rest. It’s that simple!

An app for phases. Not for life. Mark works differently from most finance apps. You open it when your spending feels off. Write down what you spend for a week or two. Become aware as you go. Then put it away until you need it again. No bank sync. No subscription. No push notifications. No background tracking. Mark does nothing unless you open it. Just you, an amount and a word. That's all it takes. WHY IT WORKS Knowing you have to write it down already changes what you spend. You're not forced — you become attentive. That's the whole mechanism. Mark doesn't measure anything. You observe yourself, with Mark as the notebook in your hand. Mark sits in the tradition of Mindful Money: less measuring, more noticing. Making it visible changes things. THE THREE SECTIONS · Today — one number per day, a list of your entries. What did you spend today. Nothing more. · All — what you spend on average per day, extrapolated to the month. You see, day by day, what adds up. · Wishlist — what you want to buy waits at least a week. Not every wish lasts that long. Some disappear on their own. What stays was actually meant. WHAT MARK DOESN'T DO Mark doesn't measure. Mark doesn't track. Mark doesn't categorise. Mark doesn't connect to any bank account. Mark doesn't send push notifications. Mark doesn't reward you with streaks or points. Mark doesn't tell you what you're doing wrong. None of that is missing — it's intentional. Other apps want you daily. Mark wants you to understand when you need it, and when you don't. EXCEPTIONS Not every expense is everyday. A birthday gift, a repair, a utility bill — you can mark those as exceptions. They show up in your list but don't count toward your daily average. So the extrapolation stays honest. LIGHT, DARK, OR SYSTEM Mark matches your display. Light, dark, or follows your system setting. Pick what you want. YOUR DATA Your data stays on your phone. Nowhere else. No account, no cloud, no server. Delete everything with one tap, anytime. It's yours. BUY ONCE, KEEP Mark costs £6.99. Once. No subscription. No in-app purchases. Updates are free. Mark is a tool. You don't subscribe to tools — you own them. WHO'S BEHIND IT Mark is made by the same studio that built Studjur, the grade calculator for German law students, running since 2022. We build small apps that do one thing well. Mark is the second.
