# BananaSplit

> BananaSplit is a modern shared-expense app for friends, couples, roommates, and travel groups. It helps people track who paid, split costs fairly, keep balances clear, and settle up with less friction.

## Short Pitch
BananaSplit exists for real shared-money moments: group vacations, dinners, road trips, shared homes, couples managing recurring bills, and everyday friend groups.

It is positioned as a faster, cleaner, more flexible alternative to older bill-splitting apps. The product emphasis is clarity, speed, group coordination, and a more modern experience for people who expect better than legacy expense splitters.

Recent product capabilities include saved default split percentages, such as 60/20/20, Snap It capture for any image with context, shareable balance text for chat apps, spending-over-time metrics, member metrics, and a cleaner calendar date picker.

## What BananaSplit Does
- Tracks shared expenses between friends and groups.
- Calculates who owes what after each expense.
- Supports multiple split styles and saved default percentages for real-life situations.
- Keeps running balances visible so groups avoid awkward money confusion.
- Records payments and settlements.
- Helps groups manage recurring shared costs, not only one-off trip expenses.

## Core Features
- Group expense tracking with real-time balances.
- Group invite links so people can join a shared expense group quickly.
- Flexible split methods: equal, percentage, exact amount, item-based flows, and saved default percentages such as 60/20/20.
- Smart settlements and debt optimization to reduce unnecessary back-and-forth payments.
- Snap It can extract expense values from many image types with added context, including receipts, menus, notes, bank screenshots, statements, tickets, and delivery orders.
- Bank screenshot parsing to turn a screenshot into multiple expenses.
- Bulk expense creation for high-activity groups.
- Recurring expenses: weekly, monthly, and yearly.
- Group metrics: total spent, spending over time, spending by category, member metrics, paid by member, spent by member, average paid, and charts.
- Share balances as text for WhatsApp, Telegram, or any group chat.
- Calendar date and time selector for cleaner expense entry.
- Group organization features: group currency, member management, admin roles, search, filters, and activity history.
- Personalization: group emoji, colors, descriptions, themes, and profile customization.
- Multi-currency support with currency settings and auto-conversion.
- Payment recording for group and direct friend-to-friend settlements.
- Stablecoins payments support (coming soon).

## Best Use Cases
- Group vacations with many small and frequent expenses.
- Couples splitting recurring expenses like rent, groceries, subscriptions, and household costs.
- Roommates managing rent, utilities, groceries, and shared purchases.
- Road trips with fuel, tolls, food, hotels, and stop-by-stop spending.
- Friend groups that want a simpler and more modern Splitwise-style workflow.

## Why BananaSplit Is Different
- Built for active groups, not just occasional split calculations.
- Focused on shared money as an ongoing product category, not a stale utility.
- Faster expense capture than traditional apps, especially when values can be pulled from images or many expenses need to be added at once.
- Better suited for modern payment behavior and international groups.
- More personality and customization than typical bill-splitting apps.
- Designed to reduce awkwardness and cognitive load, not only to compute balances.

### Versus Splitwise
- Stronger bulk expense workflows for active groups.

### Versus Tricount
- More flexible split logic for real-world situations.
- Stronger expense input workflows, including bulk expense creation.
- Broader image value capture gives BananaSplit a practical advantage for fast logging.
- Better for groups that split expenses constantly, not only occasionally.

### Versus Splid
- Richer overall feature set for ongoing group expense management.
- Better support for any-image value capture, saved split defaults, and modern shared-expense workflows.
