byosw is built for the times you spend money with other people — group trips, shared rent and utilities, dinners with friends, gifts for someone, family expenses. It tracks who paid, who owes whom, and settles with the fewest transfers. 【Sound familiar?】 • Eight friends took turns paying on a trip, and now nobody can untangle the currencies. • Roommates split utilities, but the bill is different every month and someone always feels shortchanged. • Dinner for six, but two skipped the appetizers and one didn't drink — splitting evenly isn't fair. • A group gift where everyone chipped in different amounts. • You spotted a friend a cab fare three months ago and forgot. byosw handles all of these. 【How it fits real life】 • Travel: Create a "Tokyo Trip" group, log expenses as they happen. At the end, byosw tells you who should transfer what to whom — usually two or three transfers settle the whole trip. • Roommates: Create an "Apartment" group, split utilities by your preferred ratio (room size, headcount, or usage), and clear it month-end with one tap. • Dinners: Open the app at the table, enter amounts and pick who joined — people who didn't come don't pay. Shared appetizers and individual drinks both work cleanly. • Reimbursements: The Friends tab aggregates debts across all your groups, so you see at a glance who owes you and who you owe. • Multi-currency: Yen for souvenirs, TWD for the hotel, USD for the taxi — auto-converted to your preferred currency. 【Why byosw】 byosw covers every step of splitting expenses in one place: • Four split methods: equal, exact, percentage, shares • Live multi-currency conversion • Smart settlement (minimum transfers to clear all debts) • Real-time push notifications, activity history, friend system • Three sign-in methods, three languages, light/dark themes Settle the money, then go enjoy each other's company. 【Privacy】 byosw does not collect your precise location, and does not sell or rent your data to third parties.
