paylash

Read full description

paylash splits expenses with the people you live, travel, or eat with β€” without the awkward math at the end. Add a bill, pick who paid, choose who shares it, and paylash works out who owes whom. Works offline for quick splits; sync across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and the web for groups. THE CLASSIC SPLIT, FASTER Drop a bill amount, tap who paid, tap who's in β€” done. Single tap to share evenly, or itemize line by line if the bill mixes one person's drink with everyone's pizza. Tip, tax, and discount handled separately so the math is honest. ITEMIZED FROM A RECEIPT PHOTO Snap a photo of the receipt. paylash reads the lines, prefills items and prices, and you assign each one to a person with a tap. No more "wait, what did you get?" guessing. (Receipt OCR works on iPhone and iPad; receipt photos sync to your other devices.) GROUPS AND EVENTS Make a Group for the roommates, the road trip, the weekly dinner. Inside each group, scope expenses to Events (a single trip, a single weekend) so settlement plans don't drag in last month's groceries. paylash auto-computes the simplest set of payments to settle up β€” fewer transfers, less confusion. ACROSS ALL YOUR DEVICES paylash runs natively on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. Sign in once; your groups and history follow. A read-only web mirror at paylash-app.web.app lets group members peek at the current state without installing anything. WORKS IN YOUR LANGUAGE English, TΓΌrkΓ§e, Deutsch, EspaΓ±ol, Italiano, FranΓ§ais. Switch language inside the app independently of your device language β€” handy if you split bills across mixed-language groups. PUSH NOTIFICATIONS WHEN IT MATTERS Get a push when someone adds an expense in your group, marks a settlement complete, or invites you to a new event. Per-event, per-group, never spammy. Notifications are localized to each recipient's preferred language. FAIR AND PRIVATE paylash is free. paylash Premium ($-per-month or per-year, with a free trial) lifts the free-tier caps: unlimited groups, unlimited members, unlimited events, PDF reports for tax season, and push notifications for receipts and settlements. Family Sharing is enabled β€” a single subscription covers the whole household. We don't track you. No App Tracking Transparency prompt, no IDFA, no analytics SDK that follows you across apps. Your group names, expense descriptions, and receipt photos live on Firebase servers in the European Union (Belgium). Nothing is shared with third parties. paylash means "share" in Turkish β€” the name is a small nod to where the project started, and to anyone splitting a bill anywhere. Add. Split. Settle.

About

Split Bill

Features
Read full description

Split a bill between friends in seconds β€” and know exactly who owes who. Most bill splitters stop at "divide by four." Split Bill keeps a running tally for the whole trip, the whole house or the whole night out, then untangles every debt into the smallest possible set of payments. Instead of six people paying each other back in circles, you get two transfers and everybody is even. WHAT YOU GET - Log an expense, mark who paid, and watch every balance update instantly - Split equally, by shares, by exact amounts or by percent β€” the cents always add up to the total - One Settle Up screen showing the fewest payments that clear every debt in the group - Separate groups for the trip, the flat and the dinner, each with its own people and history - A full expense history tagged by food, drinks, groceries, transport, stay, activities and shopping, plus an optional weekly settle-up reminder - A tidy who-owes-who summary you can send straight into the group chat PERFECT FOR - Friends on a trip where different people keep covering different things - Housemates sharing groceries, utilities and household costs month after month - Big dinners and nights out where one card pays the whole tab - Group gifts, weddings and events funded from a shared pot WHY NOT JUST USE A SPREADSHEET? Because a spreadsheet never tells you who should pay whom. You still have to work out the transfers yourself, chase the rounding cents, and re-share the file every time someone buys a round of coffee. Split Bill recalculates every balance the moment an expense lands and hands you the answer as a short list of payments β€” not a grid of numbers. Tick each payment off as it happens and the list shrinks until the group is clear. PRIVACY Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no ads, no tracking and nothing uploaded anywhere. The app works with no internet connection at all. FULL ACCESS Split Bill is a premium app. Full access unlocks unlimited groups, the shares, exact-amount and percent split methods, and the complete minimal-transfers settle-up. It is available as a weekly plan, a yearly plan, or a one-time lifetime purchase. The weekly and yearly plans renew automatically until you cancel them in your Apple ID settings; the lifetime option is a single payment that never renews. Create your group, log tonight's dinner, and let Split Bill do the math before anyone reaches for a calculator.
