Split rent with roommates without the monthly argument. Enter the rent, add everyone, and see each person's exact share in seconds. Most splitting apps only divide the total evenly. This one handles the part that actually causes fights: unequal bedrooms and unequal paychecks. Split evenly, by room size, by income, or blend room size and income with a slider until the numbers feel right to everyone. The math stays on screen for the whole household to see, so nobody has to take your word for it. WHAT YOU GET - Each roommate's exact amount and percentage, recalculated the instant you change anything - Four split methods: equal, by room size, by income, or a custom room-size and income blend - A shared bill log for utilities, internet, groceries, supplies, furniture and one-offs, tagged with who paid - Settle up with the fewest possible transfers: the app shows exactly who sends what to whom - Unlimited saved households, so a lease, a sublet and a holiday rental never overwrite each other - A monthly reminder on the 1st to collect everyone's share and log the month's bills PERFECT FOR - Roommates in an apartment where the bedrooms are nowhere near the same size - Couples or households where one person earns far more than the other - Anyone fronting the utility and internet bills and chasing everyone else for money - Sublets, house shares and short-term rentals where people change every few months WHY NOT JUST USE A SPREADSHEET A spreadsheet gives you one fixed formula and breaks the moment someone moves out or the amounts change. Here you switch methods with one tap, drag the blend slider, add or remove a roommate, and every share updates instantly. Room sizes work in square feet or square meters, and amounts follow your device's local currency automatically. PRIVACY Everything stays on your iPhone. No account, no sign-up, no servers, no bank login, no ads, no tracking. Incomes and room sizes never leave the device. FULL ACCESS Full Access unlocks the fairness split methods (by room size, by income and the hybrid blend), the shared bill log with settle-up, and unlimited saved households. It is available as a weekly subscription, a yearly subscription, or a one-time lifetime purchase. Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled in your App Store settings; the lifetime option is a single payment with no renewal. Add your roommates and this month's rent, then tap By Room Size to see what a fair split really looks like.
