Potwise

Potwise is the friendly way to settle up after a home game. Everyone buys in, some top up as the night goes on, and at the end you count the chips back. Working out who owes who is fiddly, error-prone arithmetic ā usually done on a napkin at 2am. Potwise does it in a tap. HOST AND TRACK Set the buy-in and seat everyone ā from your Contacts or by name. Tap Rebuy whenever someone tops up; a mis-tap undoes in one tap. Add a latecomer at any point, and say whether their chips came from the bank or from another player. THE CHIPS ALWAYS ADD UP Count everyone's chips at the end and Potwise checks every last one is accounted for, telling you in plain words what's missing before anything is settled. No more mystery shortfalls. THE SHORTEST WAY TO SQUARE UP Get the minimum set of transfers instead of everyone paying everyone ā and debts between the same two people net out across games, so nobody hands money back and forth for no reason. WHEN THE BANK RUNS DRY A player can sell chips from their own stack to someone else. Potwise folds both sides into the results automatically, so nobody double-pays and the totals still balance. A LEADERBOARD YOUR GROUP WILL ARGUE ABOUT Every finished game feeds a running leaderboard ā games played, games up, all-time totals. Separate groups keep separate standings, so the Friday regulars never mix with the office crowd. KEEP IT IN A SPREADSHEET Send your whole history to Google Sheets, Numbers or Excel in two taps. Your group keeps a copy of the ledger that outlives any one phone. RECORDS, NOT PAYMENTS Potwise does not deal cards, run or simulate any game, accept wagers, hold funds, transfer money between players or distribute winnings. It takes no rake, fee or percentage of anything. It is a record of amounts the players agreed among themselves, away from the app; settling up happens between them, however they normally do it, and marking a line settled updates the record only. Currency settings change the symbol amounts are drawn with ā they do not convert anything or change a stored value. PRIVATE BY DESIGN ⢠No account, no sign-up, no login ⢠No ads, no tracking, no analytics ⢠Works completely offline ā nothing ever leaves your phone
