Owerly: Split Bills Fairly

You come back from a trip, and the group chat starts up: "who owes whom how much?" Owerly ends that argument. It is a Telegram mini app where you log spending, split bills and see who is left owing. 🧾

You can launch it straight from a chat. The /start command is enough to begin, and nothing needs installing.

Expenses on one screen

The app handles two jobs. The first is tracking your own daily expenses so you see where money goes. The second is splitting shared costs with friends, roommates or travel companions.

It supports both personal records and groups. So your monthly budget and a shared holiday bill can live in the same place.

Splitting a bill without arguments

The pattern is familiar: one person pays for everyone, and the others pay back their share later. Trouble starts when there are ten payments by different people. The app calculates debts and balances for you, so nobody adds up receipts by hand.

• Fair splits: a bill is distributed between participants.
• Balances and debts: you see who owes whom and how much.
• Repayments and settlements: mark a debt as paid.
• Multiple currencies: handy on trips abroad.

Where it fits

The app description mentions trips, roommates and shared budgets. In practice that also covers a big dinner out, a gift from a whole office or a weekend cabin rental. 🏖️

The more people and payments, the more a shared list of expenses helps. The "did you really chip in?" question disappears.

Five minutes to get going

1. Open the bot and press /start.
2. Create a group for a trip, a flat or an event.
3. Add participants and record expenses at once, while you remember them.
4. At the end, check the balance and settle debts.

The main rule with apps like this: enter payments the day you make them. A week later half the receipts are forgotten. 💡

How to avoid a quarrel over money

Even exact math will not help without an agreement. Decide up front if you split evenly or everyone pays for their own. Coffee and a shared taxi ride divide differently than an expensive dinner where one person ordered twice as much.

The app only calculates. It does not transfer money: you settle through a banking app or in cash. Mark the repayment in the list so the balance stays honest. 🤝

Habits that save your nerves

Pick one person to keep an eye on the list, and let the others send receipts if entering them feels like a chore. Check the totals at the end of each day of a trip, not on the last evening.

If someone paid for everyone, enter the full payment at once and say exactly who it covers. The calculation then comes out accurate, and arguments about small amounts end fast. 📋

Solo tracking works too

If there is nobody to split with, the app helps follow your own spending. Log purchases through the day and once a week look at what ate the budget. The habit of writing things down beats trying to remember everything at month's end.

For updates and questions the project has a news channel and a support chat, both mentioned in the bot description.
