DivvyUp keeps track of the money between you and everyone else: the dinner bill, the $20 a friend still owes you, the train fare a client is paying back, and what's left to spend this month. SPLIT THE BILL • Snap the bill and DivvyUp reads every line: items, service and total, checked to make sure they add up. • Split evenly, or drag each dish to whoever had it. Tap a dish to share it between people. • Service, tax and tip are shared out fairly on top of what everyone had. • Send everyone their share as a message, with the receipt photo attached. • Turn what people owe into IOUs in one tap. • Every split is kept, with its receipt and who paid what. IOUS • Money and things you've lent or borrowed, person by person. • Due dates, with a reminder when something's overdue. • Part payments, and settled IOUs kept for reference. CLIENT EXPENSES • Log receipts and mileage for each client and project. • Set how each client pays you back: in full, a percentage, a flat amount per trip, up to a limit, or not at all. • See what's ready to claim, what's invoiced and what you've received. • Create expense reports as a PDF or CSV, with tax and receipts included. • Spent abroad? Amounts are converted at the European Central Bank rate for the day, and you can change the rate to match your bank statement. • Record payments from clients, in any currency. BUDGET • Monthly limits by category, with what you can spend each day. • Your share of split bills counts toward your budget automatically. AND • Home puts what needs you first: overdue IOUs, money to pay back and claims to send. • Nine calculators: tip and split, drinks split, sales tax, currency, tax set-aside, interest, savings goal, savings growth and discounts. • Syncs across your devices with iCloud. No account to create. DIVVYUP PRO DivvyUp is free for splitting bills, IOUs, budgets, calculators and one client.
