One developer.
One honest app.

Hi. I'm Artyom, a solo mobile developer. I built Squara because I kept getting burned by every expense-splitting app I tried. Ads between taps. A 10-second wait before I could log a settlement. A cap on how many expenses I could enter per day on the free plan. For a tool that's supposed to reduce friction between people who share money.

At some point, the most common advice in forums about these apps is just to use a spreadsheet. That tells you everything about where the market is. The bar is absurdly low, and I wanted to actually clear it.

But my frustration wasn't just with the ads. The parts that felt wrong were deeper - they were about trust. In most expense apps, any group member can edit any expense, including ones they weren't part of. Nobody gets notified when someone changes what you're owed. Debts get marked settled by one person without the other confirming. When real money is involved, that's a real problem.

So Squara is built differently. Only the person who paid for an expense - or the group owner - can modify or delete it. Every edit is logged with a timestamp and the before/after values, visible in a per-group timeline and a global activity feed. When you mark a debt as settled, the other person is notified and must confirm before it counts. Your data follows you across devices and reinstalls. Squara doesn't process payments - it tracks who owes what and keeps an honest record. That distinction matters.

Squara is freemium. The free tier is genuinely generous - one active group you own, unlimited membership in others, 30 days of expense history, no ads on any tier, ever. A premium plan funds ongoing development and unlocks more: multiple owned groups, recurring expenses, extended history with detailed breakdowns, and CSV/PDF export. I'm not backed by investors and I'm not selling your data. The premium plan is how I keep the free tier free.

Squara is coming soon to iOS and Android. It's built by me, maintained by me, and every message you send gets read by me. If you have a bug to report, a feature to suggest, or just want to say hi - the email below goes straight to my inbox.
