Chara: Split Bills & Expenses

Split expenses with roommates, partners and friends without the awkward math. Chara is an open-source bill splitter with no ads and no subscription.

Add an expense, pick who's in, and Chara does the math. See who owes who at a glance, and settle up when you're ready.

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Create groups for roommates, trips, couples or one-off events
• Split equally, by exact amounts or by percentage
• Snap a receipt and Chara fills in the total and line items
• Say it out loud: "I paid 40 for dinner, split with Sam" becomes an expense
• Set up recurring bills like rent and subscriptions once, and they add themselves every month
• Get a monthly summary of where the money went
• Keep balances in each currency, never silently converted
• Settle up with a tap and keep a clean history
• Get notified when someone adds an expense or pays you back

PRIVATE BY DESIGN

No ads, no ad SDKs, and your data is never sold. Your group's expenses are visible to your group and nobody else. Chara collects anonymous usage statistics to improve the app, with no personal data or expense content, and you can switch them off in Settings.

SELF-HOST IT

Chara is open source. Run it on your own server if you like: the app talks to your server exactly the way it talks to ours. Keep accounts on several servers at once and see everything in one place.

FREE, FOR REAL

No subscription and no premium tier. Receipt scanning and voice entry include a monthly allowance on Chara Cloud, and are unlimited on your own server.

Available in English, Svenska, Deutsch, Français, Español, Italiano, Nederlands, Dansk, Norsk, Suomi, Polski, Português, 日本語, 简体中文 and العربية.
