๐Ÿ’ฅ New Feature: Customizable Split

  • Fair and Accurate Tracking: This allows the app to automatically calculate debts and balances based on your chosen ratio, ensuring tracking is always fair, accurate, and tailored to your income and commitment levels.

  • Easy Setup: Set your preferred default split once, and the app will handle the complex calculations for all new expenses.
