Work together online

Your group.
One shared view.

You only need an account when you want to sync groups with other people and devices.

01

Sign in or create an account

Use your email address and choose a password. Sign-up and recovery codes are sent by email.

02

Share the group you choose

Enable online sync for a specific group. Your other groups stay on your device.

03

Invite by email

The invitee signs in or creates an account, then enters the eight-digit invitation code from the email in PayTogether.

04

Keep everyone up to date

Expenses and changes in the shared group sync with its members. Everyone can see the shared activity and recalculated balances.

Only the group you share is shared.
Members cannot access other groups in your account that you have not shared.

Optional receipt scan · Version 1.2.0

Take a photo.
Review the items.
Split the cost.

When signed in, you can take or choose a receipt photo and ask PayTogether to detect its items. It suggests item names and amounts, plus one category for the whole receipt.

Review the suggestions, correct them if needed and choose who shared each item. Only then save them as individual expenses in your group.

How receipt images are processed
01

Add an image

Take a photo or choose one from your library. Adding an image alone does not start AI analysis.

02

Start recognition yourself

Tap “Detect items automatically”. The feature requires an account and an internet connection.

03

Check the suggestions

The image is sent through the PayTogether API to Ollama Cloud. Detected items remain suggestions until you review and save them.
