How to make a trip expense splitter your friends will actually use

~5 minutes · no code · free to start

Somebody always fronts the hotel. Somebody always 'forgets'. The apps that fix this want everyone to install something and make an account — which is exactly why nobody does it.

Yours needs none of that: you track, it calculates the minimal set of payback transfers, and one button copies a plain-text settlement plan into the group chat.

What you'll end up with

The five steps (same for every app)

  1. 1

    Describe it

    Type what you want in plain English — like you'd explain it to a friend. No technical words needed. Every guide below gives you a ready-made description you can use as-is or edit.

  2. 2

    Check the plan

    Kyntra replies with a short plan in plain English: what it understood and what it's about to build. If it got something wrong, just say so. Happy? Hit Approve. (You can switch on Auto later to skip this step.)

  3. 3

    Watch it build

    About a minute later your app appears in the preview panel — a real, working app, not a mockup. Click around in it right away.

  4. 4

    Ask for changes

    This is where Kyntra is different from hiring anyone: changes are just sentences. "Make it blue." "Add a delete button." "That chart is confusing, make it simpler." Each change takes about a minute, and every version gets a quality grade in the header — Kyntra checks its own work for the mistakes AI builders usually make.

  5. 5

    Publish it

    One click on Publish gives your app a real web address you can send to anyone or open on your phone. Change something later? Publish again — same address, new version.

Your ready-made description

This is the exact text the button below pastes for you — read it, edit anything, or use it as-is.

An expense splitter for a group trip. I add people, then expenses (who paid, amount, what for, which people share it). The app computes each person's balance and the minimal set of who-pays-whom transfers to settle up. Running total and per-person summary cards, everything in localStorage, and a 'copy settlement plan' button that puts a plain-text summary on the clipboard.

Make it yours — things to say next

After the first build, changes are just sentences in the chat. For example:

You say: Add currencies — we paid in euros and korunas on this trip

Multi-currency with one rate field

You say: Add categories (food, transport, fun) with a little pie chart

Where the money actually went

You say: Make the settlement message funnier

'Tom owes Anna $23. Tom, we saw the receipt.'

You say: Publish it

Next trip, you just send the link

Common questions

Do my friends need accounts?

No — one person tracks (you), and the copy-paste settlement plan goes to the group chat. Nobody installs anything.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. You describe, Kyntra builds. You never have to read or touch code — though it's all there if you're curious.

Is it really free?

Yes — free to start, no card. The free plan includes 5 apps and 25 builds a day, which is plenty to build and polish something real.

How do I know the app is any good?

Every version is audited by Kyntra's 17-check quality engine — the same kind of review a senior engineer would do — and stamped with a letter grade you can see in the workspace header.

Five minutes from now, this exists.
