Guide

Create an account

• Tap Start for free on the home page.
• Enter your name, email and a password.
• If you joined as a guest before, your name is often filled in already – and your groups stay with you.

Create a group

• Once you’re logged in, tap New group.
• Give it a name. If you like, add the occasion, a place and dates.
• Pick what you need: Planning, Costs, Bring, To-dos. Depending on the occasion, sensible ones are already on.
• Save – you’re now the owner of the group.

My groups

• My groups shows every group you’re in.
• Tap the star to make a group a favorite – favorites sit at the top. Tap again to remove the star.
• Archived groups are listed further down under Archived – view only.
• Open email invites show up at the top, where you can accept or decline them.

Inside a group

• The overview shows what’s still open under Bring and To-dos, plus your current balance under Costs.
• While you’re still picking a date, the overview points you to the vote – the other sections are hidden until then.
• My list: everything you took on – shopping, bring items and tasks. You can check things off right there.
• Switch between the overview and the sections at the top (desktop) or bottom (phone).
• A small bubble on Bring and To-dos shows how many things are still open.
• The star next to People works just like in the group list.

Invite link

• Tap People at the top right.
• Copy the link or share it on WhatsApp.
• Whoever opens it joins the whole group – with or without an account.

By email

• Enter the address and tap Invite.
• If they already have an account, they get an email and see an open invite in the app.
• No account yet? They get a slightly longer email with the link, and your list shows that the email is waiting.
• You can withdraw open invites.

Add someone

• Already know who’s coming? Put their name on the list before they’ve joined.
• That spot can already be used for costs or bring items.
• When they join, they tap I’m … and take the spot.
• Heads up: anyone with the invite link can take any open spot – so only share it with people you trust.

Joining

• With an account: accept the invite or join through the link.
• Without an account: enter your name. A cookie keeps you recognized on that device.

Who can do what

• Every member can invite people, add names and keep the lists up to date.
• Only the person who created the group can change settings or remove people.

Picking a date

• Turn on Planning – when you create the group or later in the settings.
• The owner starts planning. Until a date is set, Bring, To-dos and Costs stay hidden – date first, everything else after.
• Continue without a date ends planning without picking one. The other sections come back.

Options & votes

• The owner adds a few days or date ranges as options.
• Everyone in the group taps Works for me on every option that fits – as many as they like. Tap again to take the vote back.
• The owner can Delete options again.

Set & reopen

• The owner taps Pick this on the winning option – the date is set and planning ends.
• Reopen date makes the date open again, so you can vote and pick a new one.
• If you like, you’ll get emails about new votes and when the date is set or reopened – you choose that in your notification settings.

• Add an item: a title, and if you like an amount and a unit (say, bottles).
• Still open: pick an amount and tap I’ll bring it – or let someone else take it.
• If more than one is needed, several people can each take part of the same item.
• Already taken: grouped by item, with a badge showing who brings how many.
• Tap a badge to release, edit or delete it (depending on your rights).
• Share list: a public link just for the bring list (/b/…). Whoever has it sees and uses only that list – no need to join the group. The owner can create a new link; the old one stops working.
• List → Print / As PDF: what’s still open and what’s taken, ready to print.

Two lists

• Shopping: what still needs to be picked up. Amounts and units work here.
• Tasks: what needs organizing, cleaning or sorting out – no amounts.
• The number on the tab only counts open and taken things, not finished ones.

How it goes

• Add something – it shows up under still to buy or still to do.
• Take it on with I’ll get it / I’ll do it. For shopping, you can take part of the amount.
• Check it off with Bought / Done.
• For shopping, you can enter what you paid and split it as an expense – it then shows up under Costs.
• Never mind puts a finished item back on the list.
• The menu lets you release, edit or delete.

Handy extras

• My list → Print / As PDF: only what you took on and finished, with finished things checked.

Expenses

• What, how much, who paid and who’s in.
• Split Evenly or go Custom – the amounts just have to add up.
• Add a date and a note if you like.
• Edit or delete later (payments can only be deleted).

Balances & settling up

• At the top you see the group’s total, your share, and whether you get money back or owe some.
• Here’s how it gets easy: suggestions for who pays whom.
• Paid or Done: whoever pays or runs the group adds the payment, and the balance resets. Only the person who has to pay sees the PayPal link.
• Payment: add it by hand if you’ve already settled up. You can’t pay yourself – if you’re owed money, the direction is already filled in.

List

• Print / As PDF: your current balance first, then the totals, the settle-ups and every entry.

• Change the name, description, place, occasion and dates.
• Turn sections on or off. Off just means hidden – your entries stay.
• Create new invite link: the old link stops working.
• Archive: the group stays visible, but nobody can add anything or invite people. Restoring it makes it editable again.
• Delete: only after you confirm – gone for good, for everyone.

• Join through the invite link and take part – including inviting people and keeping the lists up to date.
• You’ll find the group again on the home page and under My groups, as long as the cookie is still on your device.
• Create an account later: your name is often filled in, and your groups stay linked.
• New device or cookie gone? Open the link again or log in with an account.
• The bring list link is even lighter: just the list, no joining.

• Only give the invite link to people who should really be in the group.
• No date yet? Start planning first – then Bring and Costs won’t get in the way while you vote.
• For longer things like a vacation or a shared flat, an account is worth it – and favorites help once you have lots of groups.
• Send the bring list link to guests who only need the list, not the whole group.
• Turn off sections you don’t need – it keeps things tidy.
• After the event, archive the group instead of deleting it if you want to keep the history.
• Print and PDF are great for the shopping run or for sticking on the fridge.
