IHateMoney

IHateMoney is a web application for managing shared expenses within a group. It records who paid for what and for whom, then computes balances to help the group settle up fairly.

Key Features

• Create shared “projects” for a group budget without requiring user accounts for every participant
• Track expenses with payer, amount, date, and participants/beneficiaries
• Automatic balance calculation to show who owes whom
• Simple, lightweight web interface designed to work well on mobile
• Multiple storage backends supported, including SQLite, PostgreSQL, and MariaDB

Use Cases

• Split costs for roommates (rent-related purchases, utilities, groceries)
• Track shared spending during group trips and holidays
• Manage ongoing shared budgets for small clubs or recurring activities

Limitations and Considerations

• Project direction prioritizes simplicity and stability over major new features, with a more maintenance-focused roadmap

IHateMoney is a practical choice for groups that want a minimal, straightforward expense splitter with easy project-based sharing. It focuses on keeping setup and day-to-day usage simple while still covering the essentials needed to settle shared bills.
