We made an app for splitting payments with friends ad-free
Hi HN! Last year, my friend and I decided to build an app for splitting payments with friends. We were on a group vacation and trying to split a bunch of bills every day, but Splitwise's clunky UX and ads kept getting in the way. So we decided to build an app for ourselves that's simpler and just does what we need. We built Quicksplit as a side project - as always, building it took longer than we initially expected :) It's ad-free and always will be. You can add payments in different currencies, add friends (without them needing the app), and manage tabs for vacations, events, or living…

SplitMyExpenses 2.02023 · splitmyexpenses.com · ▲108Hey HN I'm Brad, the creator of SplitMyExpenses (SME)! I've always dreaded splitting expenses with friends after meals, so I'd usually do it as a batch process after a few weeks. I always dreamed of a tool that fit that workflow seamlessly and couldn't find it, so I did the thing most software tinkerers do, build your own tool! It has evolved substantially over the past few years, from a side project that almost never made it out the graveyard, to a polished web app with powerful API integrations and even AI! Splitting expenses sounded simple up front, but a few challenges worth calling out:…
