Split expenses with your partner without spreadsheets or awkward talks. Couplesplit logs purchases from your bank notifications and shows who owes whom, split 50/50 or by income. Shared money lives in Ours. Personal money lives in Mine, and only you can see it. The two never mix. PURCHASES THAT LOG THEMSELVES Bought groceries for $42.90? When your bank's notification arrives, the expense is already in Couplesplit. • Bank notifications: on iOS 27, purchases log themselves from the notifications your bank already sends. • Apple Pay: from iOS 18, what you buy with Apple Pay is logged too. • No passwords and no bank connection. It runs through an automation in the Shortcuts app. • Captured purchases arrive private, in Mine. You decide what moves to Ours. NEW IN 1.8 • Your month vs. your usual: see if you're spending more or less than your usual pace, and which categories explain it. • Fixed payments: rent, utilities and subscriptions in one place, with a calendar and a notification before each due date. Shared or just yours, never mixed. • How you split: what each of you put in this month, and what your incomes say it should be. Change your salary or the split directly; your partner gets a notification and can pause the change to talk it over. • Half-month balance: your balance broken down by half-month, ideal if your salary arrives twice a month. • Expense organizer: sort uncategorized expenses in a few taps. • Share suggestions: personal expenses that look like household ones are gathered for you to review. Nothing is shared until you say so. SPLIT FAIRLY, SETTLE UP CLEARLY • Split 50/50, by income or with your own percentage • Who owes whom in real time, synced on both phones • Settle up the full balance or only through last month • Couplesplit never moves money: you send the transfer from your bank and record it in the app • A notification when your partner adds an expense PLAN TOGETHER • Shared spending limits, with notifications at 80%, 90% and 100% • Installments and recurring expenses • Trips in the local currency, converted to your home currency, and kept out of your monthly spending if you want • Reports by category and trend, plus your Monthly Wrapped • Home screen widgets • Import your shared history from a CSV file • 70+ categories, 100+ currencies and 6 languages COUPLESPLIT PRO Everything in Couplesplit is part of Pro.
