Everyday examples
- Rent can be split by percentage when rooms are different sizes.
- Groceries can be split equally, only between selected people, or by exact amount. If someone bought something special only for themselves, part of the receipt can be assigned separately.
- Furniture can have multiple payers if two people paid part of it.
- Utilities and subscriptions stay in the group history instead of disappearing into old chat messages.
- No more guessing who paid more or less. Put the shared expenses in one place, and the total balance shows who should probably pay next.

Why the ledger matters
A household does not only need to know who owes money. It also needs a way to answer why. Splex keeps the expenses, balances, settlements, and activity history together, so the explanation is not hidden in someone's memory.
03
Settling without overthinking it
Instead of settling every small purchase with a separate bank transfer, Splex can offset all expenses against each other. And if several people in a shared flat owe each other in a circle, Splex can simplify the debts so fewer settlement payments are needed.
