I'm looking for a simple alternative to Splitwise to self host. Currently my partner and I use it to keep track of monthly expenses to ensure there is roughly even spending between us. Doesn't have to be complex, in fact the simpler the better as my partner prefers simple, ready to use tech. It would only need to be accessed locally as we update expenses once or twice a month, and would prefer FOSS to have control over our data.

I thought of having a Spreadsheet that is synced using syncthing between my computer and her phone. This seems simple on my end, but I worry that it would be more complicated for my partner as they primarily would use this on their iphone. Currently on splitwise you can add expenses with only a couple button presses.

Thanks in advance.

Free, private (can be self-hosted), and open source. You don't need to create an account to use it. If I remember correctly, this was created in response to the recent changes to Splitwise.

Hey, I’m the author of Spliit.app, thanks for the mention :)

Indeed I created Spliit as an open source because I believe that some tools should be open source, especially those used on the long term (I have Splitwise account from many years ago).
