Chara: Split Bills & Expenses

Split expenses with roommates, partners, and friends without the awkward math. Chara is a private, open-source bill splitter that's free forever. No ads, no subscriptions, no paywalled features.

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

WHAT YOU CAN DO

• Create groups for roommates, trips, couples, or one-off events
• Split equally, unequally, by percentage, or by shares
• Snap a receipt and pull out the line items automatically
• Track balances per currency, with no sketchy auto-conversion
• Settle up with a tap and keep a clean history
• Get notified when someone adds an expense or pays you back

PRIVATE BY DEFAULT

No trackers. No ad SDKs. No third-party analytics. Your group's expenses are visible to your group, and nobody else.

SELF-HOST IT

Chara is open source. Run it on your own server if you want. The app talks to your server the same way it talks to ours. Keep accounts on multiple servers at once and see everything in one place.

FREE, FOREVER

The core app is free. No subscription. No paywalled features. Chara is what bill-splitting should have been all along.
