Eider is the free, easy way to split shared expenses whether on a trip or at home, then settle up simply. Adding an expense is never capped, delayed, or interrupted. No limit on the people or expenses you track. Just a well-made ledger that does the math so nobody has to keep a mental tally. HOW IT WORKS - Start a nest for your trip, your household, or whatever you share. - Add an expense in seconds. Eider remembers your usual split. - See a running balance of who owes whom, simplified down to the fewest payments. - Settle up through the app you already use: Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, Zelle, or Apple Cash. Eider records it, and it never touches your money. BUILT FOR REAL LIFE - Made for trips: throw every flight, cab, cabin, and dinner into one place and walk away square. - Just as good at home: rent, groceries, utilities, and the everyday back-and-forth. - Split any way: evenly, by percentage, or exact amounts. - Set a standing split once and forget it. - Recurring expenses for rent, utilities, subscriptions, and anything else. FREE, AND NOT A TRIAL Everything above is free. No cap on the people or the expenses you track, and adding an expense is never delayed or interrupted. EIDER PLUS (Coming Soon) - Connect a bank account and bring transactions in automatically, then split them with 1 tap. - Scan a receipt and let Eider read the merchant, date, and total off it. - Split one receipt line by line instead of evenly. - A searchable library of every receipt your nest has captured. - Spending patterns, period reports, and a monthly digest of where the money went. Plus is a personal membership rather than a per-nest upgrade. An annual membership also shares receipt scanning and line-item splitting with everyone in the nests you create.
