About

NanoSplit

Read full description

NanoSplit splits expenses in a group – for flat shares, trips, festivals or family. No account with us, no password, no ads. THAT SIMPLE • Create a group, enter the names – done. • Invite the others by QR code or link. Joining is one tap. • Enter expenses: split equally, by shares or with fixed amounts. • NanoSplit works out who owes whom – in few payments. • Money changed hands? Tap the line, settled. NO ACCOUNT WITH US No registration, no e-mail address, no password. The app takes your name from your Apple ID with one tap – or you type it yourself. Whoever has the invitation link is in. NEW IPHONE? NOTHING TO DO Your groups belong to your Apple ID and are simply back on a new iPhone. PRIVATE What you enter is encrypted on the iPhone before it leaves the device. Only the members of the group hold the key. No tracking, no analytics, no ads. WORKS OFFLINE You can always add entries. As soon as there is a connection, the group's iPhones catch up with each other. ALSO • Your name is yours: it is tied to your iCloud account, nobody else can go by it in the group • Every expense shows who entered it • A notification when someone adds something • Add people who don't have the app yet • Save the current state as a PDF • Several groups, each in its own currency • Dissolve a group for everyone once it is no longer needed NanoSplit syncs through iCloud; the iPhone has to be signed in to iCloud for that. NanoSplit is a private, ad-free and experimental project.
