The Invisible Tool Philosophy
1. Experiences > Expenses
Dinners with friends and spontaneous getaways are about the connection, not the transaction. Money is just a tool, but it often becomes a wall. Our job isn't to make you manage money better; it's to make the money part invisible, so you can get back to the moment.
2. The Enemy is the "Awkward Silence"
We all know it. That pause when the bill hits the table. The mental math happening behind everyone's eyes. The "salad vs. lobster" dilemma—where someone quietly overpays just to avoid looking cheap. We built GroupSplit to kill that awkwardness. No friction, no guilt, no spreadsheets the next morning.
3. How We Think:
- Participation is Optional. Most guests just want to relax, and that’s okay. In GroupSplit, "doing nothing" is a valid state. But for those who want to help, jumping in to claim a dish or split a bottle of wine takes seconds.
- No Designated "Accountant". Most apps force one person to do all the work. We don't believe in that. Pass the phone around. Let someone scan, let someone else assign. It’s not a chore for a hero; it’s a quick team effort.
- Trust the Math. No black boxes. Tax, tips, and shares are clear down to the cent. When people trust the math, they relax. And when they relax, they have a better time.
- Calm by Design. We don’t interrupt your dinner with ads. We don’t hold features hostage behind paywalls. The interface gets out of your way so you can get back to the conversation.
Our Promise
We want your memories to be about the spontaneous road trip or the three-hour dinner conversation—not the twenty minutes you spent arguing over a spreadsheet.
GroupSplit. Focus on the moments, not the math.
