SPLIT EXPENSES OFFLINE, NO ACCOUNT, NO CLOUD SplitEx is an expense splitter that works without an account and without an internet connection. Add expenses on a plane, abroad, or anywhere with bad signal, it just works. Your groups, friends, expenses, and balances stay on your phone, not on someone else's server. Split bills, track group expenses, and settle up for trips, roommates, couples, rent, and any shared cost. WHY SPLITEX? ⢠Works fully offline, perfect for travel and trips abroad ⢠No account, no signup, no login, just open the app and start ⢠Your data stays on your device, nothing is uploaded to a cloud ⢠No ads, no tracking, no chat, no social feed ⢠Every feature is free, pay once only if you want more than 10 groups ⢠One-time purchase for unlimited groups, no recurring subscription SPLIT BILLS AND GROUP EXPENSES Create groups for trips, roommates, couples, family spending, events, rent, groceries, dining, and utilities. Add an expense, choose who paid, decide who shares the cost, and SplitEx works out the balances. Flexible splitting for real life: ⢠Equal splits for quick shared bills ⢠Unequal splits by exact amount, percentage, ratio, or adjustment ⢠Multi-payer expenses when more than one person paid ⢠Itemized receipts: split drinks among drinkers only, exclude someone from an item, or discount one person ⢠Categories to organize spending ⢠Group balances so you can see who owes whom ⢠Full and partial settlements, with complete settlement history SHARE BALANCES IN A TAP No need to nag anyone in person. Share a clean breakdown of an expense, a friend's balance, or a whole group as plain text, then send it to WhatsApp, Messages, Telegram, Signal, email, or any app on your phone. The other person sees exactly what they owe, no SplitEx account needed.
