APPS WE LOVE

Divide Bills and Track Expenses

Splitwise does the math for you.

Splitwise makes it really easy to divvy up dinner bills, group trips, and date nights when you go Dutch.

What we love: How the app calculates who owes what—and keeps track of everyone’s payments and IOUs. Private groups make it easy to break down costs after vacations, events, or up-all-night outings. And its ability to scan receipts and convert foreign currencies takes the guesswork out of settling up.

Create different groups for friends, roommates, and (yes) your sweetie.

Quick tip: Tap the Balances button to see payments you still need to make—and any payments (hopefully) coming your way.

Meet the creator: Chief technology officer Ryan Laughlin still uses Splitwise to track his everyday expenses with his wife. “Splitwise has the entire 13-year history of our relationship, from our first trip together to our monthly mortgage payment,” he says.
