Money moves fast when you travel, live with someone, or run a home — and it always ends in the same mess: scattered receipts, a dozen currencies, and the awkward "so who owes who?" Travelet handles all of it, and asks for nothing in return — no account, no subscription, no ads, no tracking. ▸ SCAN OR SPEAK — TRAVELET FILLS THE REST Point your camera at any receipt and AI reads the merchant, total, line items, currency and date in seconds. In a hurry? Just say it — "lunch, 12 euros" — and it's logged. No typing, no fuss. ▸ SPLIT ANYTHING, SETTLE IN A TAP Share a bill equally, by parts, by exact amounts, or item by item — with a live breakdown of who owes what. When it's over, Travelet nets everyone down to the fewest payments and shows exactly who owes who. The end of bill-splitting math. ▸ ONE APP FOR EVERY GROUP A weekend in Rome, shared life with your partner, the monthly household, or any group of friends — make as many as you like, free. Each keeps its own members, currency and budget, and switches in a tap. ▸ KNOW WHERE YOU STAND, INSTANTLY Trips get a live budget bar with daily pace and days left; homes and groups get a rolling monthly budget. The colour turns amber, then red, as you near and pass the limit — so there are no end-of-trip surprises. Set recurring expenses for the bills that come back every month. ▸ EVERY CURRENCY, HANDLED Paying in euros, banking in złoty, grabbed lunch in koruna? Every expense converts to your group's currency on the fly with live exchange rates. The total you see is the total you owe. ▸ RELIVE THE TRIP ON A MAP Every expense is pinned where you spent it. Open the map and watch a city light up with your spending — clustered pins, countries and places visited, category breakdowns. Then dig into stats by category, day or merchant. ▸ PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No sign-up. Your data lives on your iPhone and syncs across your own devices through your private iCloud — Apple's encrypted personal storage. Want to share a group with a partner or friend? Invite them through iCloud, still with no extra account. No profile, no tracking, no ads.
