Split shared bills without the awkward math. PaySplit shows who paid, who owes, and the fewest payments to settle up. No accounts. No ads. Private iCloud sharing. MADE FOR SHARED LIFE Rent, utilities, groceries, dinners, trips: if more than one person paid or benefited, PaySplit keeps it clear. • See exactly who owes what, at a glance. • Add an expense in seconds and choose who shares it. • Settle with fewer payments, not a web of IOUs. • Tap any balance to see how it was built: which expenses, which shares, which payments. • Share a group through iCloud. Your people do not need to create an account. • Keep groups in different currencies, with a running total in yours. NEW IN 2.1 • Receipt inbox: share a receipt from Photos, Mail or Messages and it waits for you to turn it into an expense. • Widgets and controls: balances on your Home and Lock Screen, and Add Expense from Control Center. • Spotlight: find any expense or payment from anywhere on your iPhone. • Siri that asks first: Add Expense and Record Payment confirm the details before saving. HOW IT WORKS 1. Create a group for your home, trip, or night out. 2. Add expenses as they happen. 3. Check balances and settle when you are ready. PAYSPLIT FREE & PRO Start free with your first 50 lifetime expenses, then 10 new expenses each month.

Read full description

BillSmooth helps you plan for upcoming bills by setting aside small amounts regularly, so the money is already there when the bill arrives. No more scrambling, no more surprises. **How it works** Divide your money into virtual buckets — one for rent, one for insurance, one for the holiday fund, whatever you need. Set up recurring transfers that top each bucket up at whatever rhythm suits you: weekly, fortnightly, monthly. When a bill comes in, you already have the money set aside. **Built for your real life** - Handles fortnightly pay cycles, not just monthly. - Tracking accounts roll up child balances into a single total. - Projections show fortnightly, monthly and annual impact at a glance. - Works with whichever currency you use — AUD, USD, GBP, EUR, and more. **Your data stays with you** BillSmooth is fully local. Every account, balance and transaction lives on your device — we don't run servers and there's nothing to sign up for. Your data is automatically included in your iPhone's iCloud Backup, and you can export or import a JSON copy from Settings at any time. **Free, no sign-up, no tracking** No ads. No account required. No analytics pinging home. Just a tool to help you get ahead of your bills.
