An iPhone app makes it easy to add a bill while you are out with friends.

Plan ahead: Rounding can make balances confusing, so calculate in whole cents and make sure each split adds up to the original bill.

A prompt to build your own version of Splitwise

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.

Your Splitwise-style app, first version

Build an iPhone app for friends and housemates who split shared bills. The main screen should show groups with a short balance summary. Tapping a group opens its members, expenses, and who owes whom. Let me create a group and add member names. Add an expense form with a description, amount, payer, and selected members, splitting the bill equally. Let me record a repayment and update the balances. Store everything on the device for this first version. Use a clean white design with green accents, clear amounts, and large buttons. Include realistic sample data for a housemates group and a weekend trip. Calculate in whole cents so every split adds up correctly.

Opens Vibecode with this prompt ready. Your first build is free.

What a homemade Splitwise won't have

Splitwise keeps people with friends already using it, their existing expense history, and established payment and bank connections.

  • Friends already on Splitwise
  • Existing group expense histories
  • Splitwise payment partner connections
  • Bank transaction import connections
