Everything shipped since day one — from the core splitting engine to the full social layer.
Smarter member-adding, Circle cards redesigned, and ghost-member sharing.
The member-add sheet now surfaces your Clear network — people you've grouped with before — for instant re-invite without retyping. Circle cards were rebuilt to match the Trip/Nest visual language. Ghost members get a per-row share button so admins can send personalised WhatsApp invites in one tap.
Past group members appear as quick-add chips — tap to add, no retyping. Plus-only; free users see a teaser showing the first 3 names.
Paste a comma or newline-separated list of names and add them all at once. Always free — no plan gate.
Unclaimed guest members show a share icon. Tap it and the app opens WhatsApp with a personalised invite message pre-filled — no copy-paste needed.
Circle cards on the Home page now match TripCard exactly: gradient photo header, 3px progress divider, and a bottom strip with role-aware CTAs.
The Circle dashboard footer shows a members card with avatar initials, a ghost member notice, and an Add / Manage link for admins.
A shared fund everyone contributes to — recurring or one-time.
Circles are a shared wallet managed by one admin. Create a monthly fund where everyone chips in a fixed amount each cycle, or run a one-time collection drive toward a target. Every contribution is tracked, the admin stays in control, and a single tap sends WhatsApp reminders to anyone who hasn't paid yet.
Set a fixed monthly amount, pick a contribution day, and the circle generates a new cycle each month. Full calendar-month navigation — ← June 2026 →.
Fixed (equal amount per person) or Flexi (any amount). Set an optional target and deadline — a progress bar keeps everyone aligned.
Admin taps any pending member to record their payment instantly. Members can self-report. Paid section collapses so pending members stay front and centre.
One tap generates a ready-to-send WhatsApp message with an ASCII progress bar, collected amount, and the names of pending members.
Add people by name only — no Clear account required. Admin records contributions on their behalf; they claim with Google sign-in later.
Log draws from the shared pool (wallet expenses) or personal advances the admin covered from their own pocket. Full expense list with category icons and amber advance badges.
When a one-time circle hits its target, a confetti burst fires and a 'Target reached!' banner appears — once per session, never on every refresh.
Track money directly with one person — no group required.
Streams are a bilateral ledger between you and one other person. Log IOUs, have the other side confirm with a shareable link, settle up fully or partially, or forgive. Every entry sits on a chronological spine — the complete history of money between two people, with a live running net after each one.
Your debts appear left, theirs right. A running net updates after each entry so you always know exactly where you stand — no mental arithmetic.
Share a link and the other person confirms or disputes the entry — no Clear account needed. Disputed entries turn amber and stay visible until resolved.
Enter any amount and the system settles oldest entries first until the amount is covered — useful when someone can only pay part of what they owe.
Write off a single entry or all active debts with one person in a single tap. Forgiven entries are recorded but removed from the net balance.
Swipe left on any entry on mobile to reveal Mark Paid, Share (guest), and Forgive buttons — no tapping into a detail sheet.
A coloured dot on the Streams tab signals new entries (green) or disputed entries (amber) — clears automatically when you visit the dashboard.
See your trip day by day — every expense in its moment.
A new day-by-day timeline lays out every expense in chronological order: category colour bars, payer chips, and a 🔥 busiest-day highlight. Plus: import your crew from a past trip, a one-tap repeat prompt when a trip ends, and confetti when the last debt is cleared.
Expenses grouped by day with a stacked category bar, payer chips sized by share, and automatic 🔥 busiest-day / 'light day' labels. Visible on the public share page and the group overview.
Taking the same crew on a new trip? Open Members → Import from group, pick the source, choose who to bring — done in seconds.
When a trip ends or is archived, admins see a dismissable prompt to spin up a new trip with the same members pre-loaded.
The settle page fires a 30-piece confetti burst the first time a group reaches zero debt. One celebration per session — no repeat fireworks on every refresh.
The public /summary share page now renders the full trip timeline — category bars, payer chips, and day totals — so non-members can see exactly how the trip played out.
Smarter defaults, live feedback, and a safety net on every tap.
A focused quality-of-life pass: see your split update as you type the amount, undo a settlement within 5 seconds, feel haptic feedback on every save, and switch the expense list between compact and full card views.
A pill below the amount field updates in real time as you type — 'Your share: ₹1,500' — so you know the split before you hit save.
Mark a payment as paid and a 5-second toast lets you undo it immediately — no need to hunt for a delete button.
Short vibration pulses on expense save, settlement paid, and expense delete give mobile interactions a satisfying physical response.
A toggle on the expenses page switches between a dense compact list and full card view — useful on long expense lists.
Expense cards now show a payer pill at a glance. The paid-by field defaults to yourself so the most common case needs zero taps.
Know who's seen it, know when something's new.
Three quality-of-life upgrades to the social layer: a live unread indicator on every expense card, a seen-by avatar stack in the detail sheet, and push notifications that reach the right people when a new comment lands.
The comment pill on an expense card turns cyan when there are new comments you haven't seen. Opens the sheet → instantly clears.
The detail sheet now shows overlapping initials circles — up to 5 visible plus a +N overflow — instead of a plain 'Seen by N members' label.
Two tiers: @mentioned members get an '@mention' push; the expense payer and anyone who commented before get a 'New comment' push. No one gets spammed with their own posts.
See the group's pulse and each member at a glance.
An activity feed on every group overview shows exactly what's been happening — expenses logged, settlements recorded, members joining. Tap any member to pull up their profile sheet with live balances.
The last 5 events per group — expenses, settlements, and joins — with actor avatars, relative timestamps, and direct links to disputes.
Tap any member on the Members or Settle pages. See their net balance (emerald/red banner), total paid, total share, and last 3 expenses.
The expense form now shows your recently used categories as quick-tap pills — no more scrolling past the same categories every time.
First-time touch users see a one-time swipe hint on the expenses list so they discover the left-swipe actions immediately.
Inside a group on mobile, the top nav becomes a slim contextual header showing the group name and a ⋯ menu — saving space for content.
Resolve expense disagreements without leaving the app.
Every expense now has a full discussion thread. React, question, or formally dispute — the payer accepts, and the split updates automatically. No more sorting it out on WhatsApp.
WhatsApp-style chat bubbles on every expense. @mention members with autocomplete. Optimistic posting so your message appears instantly.
Thumbs up to approve, ❓ to ask a question, ⚠️ to formally dispute — one tap, right on the expense card.
Four dispute types: remove me, change my share, split equally, or just ask. Actionable types auto-update the split the moment the payer accepts.
Every expense has a shareable /thread URL — used in push notifications so tapping the alert drops you directly into the conversation.
Opening the expense detail sheet automatically marks it as seen. A 'Seen by N' count in the audit trail closes the loop.

Faster page loads, smarter queries, no more connection exhaustion.
A focused performance pass across the data layer: proper indexes, query caching, Prev/Next pagination on expense lists, and streaming on the settle page so the balance numbers appear the moment they're ready.
Added covering indexes for every hot query path — expenses by group+date, splits by expense, settlements by group, reactions by expense.
Group data, balances, and interaction counts are wrapped in React cache and unstable_cache — deduplicated across the RSC tree.
Expense lists are paginated 10 at a time with Prev/Next controls instead of a Load More button — consistent and predictable.

Bottom nav, FAB, and sticky headers all account for iPhone notch and home indicator safe areas.

After saving an expense the button shows a green ✓, then fades into an 'Add another →' link that auto-closes after 2 seconds.
