Parti is the simplest way to split shared expenses. Designed for groups of friends who travel together, share a house, organize events, or simply want to keep track of expenses without losing friendships. WHAT DOES IT DO? • Create expense lists for trips, housing, events, or whatever you need. • Record each expense with the amount, description, receipt photo, and category. • Automatically split: equal shares, percentages, exact amounts, "I'll treat," or "each one pays." • Clear balances: see who owes whom in real time. • Multi-currency: manage expenses in EUR, USD, COP, and more with automatic conversion. • Works offline and syncs when you regain a connection.
