Plotted is the visual way to log trips, split expenses, and remember where you've been. Think Splitwise — but instead of just a list of debts, every meal, hotel, and Uber lands on your map and on your trip's photo journal. Look back six months later and you'll see exactly where you went, who paid, what you ate, and the photos you took. Log a trip in seconds Snap a photo of a receipt and Plotted reads the venue, the items, the total, and the tip automatically. Use Quick Receipt for one-off dinners, or create a full trip when you're planning a weekend with friends. Split fairly, no math required Add stays, activities, and expenses. Mark who paid. Skip a dinner? You don't get billed for it. When the trip ends, Plotted shows everyone exactly what they owe each other — no spreadsheets, no awkward Venmo requests. A map that fills in as you go Every venue you log drops a pin on your personal map. Restaurants you loved in Lisbon, the hotel in Tokyo, the coffee shop you keep going back to — all there, color-coded by category, with the photos and receipts attached. Bring everyone in Invite friends who use Plotted to co-edit the trip, or just type a name for friends who don't. Everyone sees the same activities, photos, and split math in real time. Share what you want, keep the rest private Closed trips can be published to your followers' feed — they'll see where you went, who you were with, and the photos. The per-person splits stay private to the group. Features • Receipt scanning with one tap (powered by AI) • Stays, activities, expenses with smart splitting • Personal map showing every place you've been • Trip cover photos and per-activity photo strips • Group invites for app users, free-text names for everyone else • Followers feed with closed published trips • Profile spending summary with category breakdown chart • Pull a route for each day of a trip from your activities • Settle-up math that handles treats, subset participants, and multi-payer dinners Why Plotted? Splitting expenses is a solved problem. What no app does well is help you remember the trip — the venues, the order of stops, the photos, the people. Plotted treats expense tracking and trip memory as the same thing. The receipt isn't just a debt to settle; it's a pin on a map you'll come back to. Privacy is opt-in everywhere. Trips are private to members by default. The map is yours alone until you publish. Free to download. No subscription required.
