Track your own expenses and your group's in one app. In «My expenses» you keep yours apart, and only you see them. And when you share with friends, your partner, roommates or family, the app splits the bills, runs the money pool and tells you who owes who, without doing the math by hand. YOURS ALONE OR SHARED • My expenses: your own spending, apart from your groups.
