Idea Inspiration

If you've ever been a club treasurer at a university, you already know exactly what this app is for. I saw the same thing happen in almost every club I was part of at NYU: someone organizes a club dinner or social, the bill comes out to like $400 for 20 people, and the treasurer ends up stuck having to chase everyone down one by one for weeks to get paid back. I watched people deal with this constantly, and it genuinely seemed miserable.

The obvious answer most people go to is Splitwise, but I personally think Splitwise adds too much friction for a situation like this. The other option is having to manually track who all has paid through the notes app or through a spreadsheet. With Splitwise, you have to get everyone to make an account, add the bill, and split everything out, and even then you're still the one following up in the group chat when nobody pays. It works fine for roommates, but for a one-off club dinner it's overkill, and most people just don't bother.

I wanted to build something where the whole process takes two minutes max. Scan the receipt, assign who got what, and send everyone a link. The person paying doesn't need to sign up for anything; they just open the link and pay. That was the whole idea from the beginning, and I designed everything else around keeping that flow as simple as possible.
