Do I need an account?

No. Groups are created with a shareable link, and members are identified per-group with magic links. We never require email or a password.

How do I create my first group?

Go to /groups/new, pick a name and default currency, and share the link with whoever's splitting expenses with you. The whole flow takes about 30 seconds.

How do I install the app on my phone?

Open the site in Safari (iOS) or Chrome (Android) and choose 'Add to Home Screen' or 'Install app'. EvenRound is a Progressive Web App - it installs in seconds with no app-store review.

Does it work offline?

Reading does. The PWA caches the last group you viewed for offline access. Adding new expenses still requires a connection so balances stay consistent across members.

How to do this in EvenRound

01
Set up the group with all current housemates
Add everyone, even the deployed member who's not currently present.
02
Set up recurring monthly expenses
Rent, utilities, internet. Equal split unless someone has agreed-upon different terms.
03
Handle deployment absences with shares
If a housemate is deployed for 3 months, set their shares to 0 for variable utilities (water, electric) for those months. Rent stays equal - they still own their bed.
04
Pool vehicle costs for shared transport
If the household shares one vehicle, fuel and maintenance equal-split.
05
Settle monthly via Zelle or Venmo (US-based)
Most service members use Zelle (instant, free). EvenRound deep-links to it.

Worked example

4 service members in shared off-base housing

Who paid	For	Amount
Lead resident	Rent (paid)	$2,400
Resident A	Utilities + internet	$240
Resident B	Groceries (shared)	$320
Resident C	Vehicle fuel + maintenance	$160

Settlement plan

→ Rent equal among 4 = $600 each
→ Utilities + groceries + vehicle equal among present residents (deployed shares = 0 for variable)
→ Each resident pays $640-680 net to lead resident via Zelle

Common pitfalls

Don't equal-split utilities across deployed roommates - set shares = 0 for absent months.
Document the rent-vs-utility split policy in the group description.
Use Zelle or Venmo for instant US-domestic transfers.

Why EvenRound works for this

Shares mode handles deployment absences cleanly.
Recurring monthly bills with shares-by-month flexibility.
Free forever - no service-member-specific friction.

Best for: service members in shared off-base housing with rotating deployment cycles.

No signup. Free forever. EU-hosted.
