What it is
A small web application that tracks expenses inside a group and settles the balances. It stores its data in PostgreSQL, ships as a container image, and can scan a receipt into an expense if you give it a model key.What it is good for. Anyone splitting costs who does not want a commercial app holding the record. A shared flat, a trip, a family, two founders paying for each other's subscriptions. The no-account design is the good decision here: the barrier to getting five people to use a tool is usually the sign-up, and there isn't one.
- MIT, and a free hosted version exists at spliit.app if you never want to run anything.
- No accounts and no app to install. A group is a link, so everybody can use it in a minute.
- The self-hosted version is one container plus PostgreSQL, which is as small as this kind of thing gets.
- A group is a link, which means anyone with the link can see and change it. That is the price of no sign-up.
- Receipt scanning and file attachments need extra services and keys, so the simple install is the plain version.
- At 2,904 stars it is small, and small means a smaller group of people to fix it if something breaks.

The same idea and the same self-hosted promise, and it does have accounts, which is better for a group you keep for years.
