Zero tracking
No ads, no tracking pixels, no data selling. We only collect what's needed to make the app work.
Little Things That Matter
The details that make expense splitting actually pleasant.
Deep links & routing
Direct URLs open modals (expense detail, add expense, settlements), Escape restores history, and hash anchors auto-expand sections without breaking the back button.
Join + registration polish
Return URLs survive login/register/reset flows, policy checkboxes gate submissions, resend verification lives in banners, and auth redirects keep freeloaders out.
Accessibility baked in
Focus traps, auto-focus targets, restored focus on close, screen-reader skip links, tooltips on disabled actions, and RTL-aware layouts for languages like Arabic.
Lifecycle controls
Archive/unarchive from dashboard quick actions, leave-group flows that warn about open balances, and locked-group banners that disable risky buttons.
Signals that matter
Email verification banners, warning bars, toast confirmations, state-preserving dialogs, and notification dropdowns keep everyone in the loop.
Responsive pagination
Dashboard paging, comments/expenses “load more” buttons, mobile-optimized controls, and instant refreshes when data changes behind the scenes.
