Do you have more than one credit card offering cashback rewards? Do you have a difficult time remembering which card to use under which circumstance? Cashback Maximizer is here to help. Simply enter your credit card names (no numbers required) and then enter information about any current or upcoming rewards. Thereafter, whenever you are preparing to spend, simply select the appropriate category (for example, Department Stores or Restaurants) and Cashback Maximizer will show you which cards currently have active rewards and how much, thus helping you to get the most from your credit card rewards. DISCLAIMER: Cashback Maximizer is not meant to encourage run-away use of credit cards, but only in as much as the cards are a convenience and a way to receive cashback rewards. The best policy is to pay off all charges during a billing period at the end of that period. Be sure to check out our other app, 'Spend Control', which aims to help keep spending within appropriate bounds.

Trips, flatshares, dinner clubs, side projects — MonkeySplit handles the way you actually share money. Add an expense in three taps, split it however you want, and let MonkeySplit work out who owes whom. When it's time to settle, the math is already done. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Keep separate spaces for everything you share — the road trip, the flat, the dinner club, the side hustle. Each one stays tidy on its own. • Split it your way: even shares, exact amounts, or percentages. Different payers, different payees, all in the same expense. • Spend in 30+ currencies on the same trip and see one clean total at the end. • Sort with categories and tags so you actually know where the money went. • Set up rent, subscriptions, or the weekly grocery run once and forget about it. Upcoming bills show up before they hit. • Clean up months of expenses in seconds — multi-select, then categorize, tag, or delete in one go. • When it's time to pay each other back, MonkeySplit figures out the fewest possible transfers. Less back-and-forth, fewer awkward asks. • Settle on PayPal in one tap, with the amount already filled in. • See where your group's money goes with charts you can actually tap to drill into. • Find any expense fast — search by name, category, tag, or date. • No signal? Keep going. Everything catches up the moment you're back online. • Sign in with Apple, Google, or email. BUILT FOR THUMBS Swipe to edit. Tap a chart to filter. Bulk-select to fix dozens at once. No menus to dig through, no taps wasted. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT Groups are invite-only. No ads, no tracking, no analytics following you around. Your name and email are there so the people you actually split with can find you — that's it. Whether it's a weekend away, a shared apartment, or a project that's been running for years, MonkeySplit keeps the books straight without the spreadsheet.
