how it works
Solus asks for the money so you don't have to.
What Solus is
Solus asks for the money so you do not have to. Text it in iMessage. It splits the bill, tracks who owes what, and does the asking. Open the app if you want the charts.
What Solus is not
Solus is not a budgeting spreadsheet. The job is the money stuff between friends that already happens in your chats. Spaces and charts exist in the app, but the asking is the product.
Text first
Solus lives in iMessage. Tell it what happened. It handles the rest. The app adds charts, receipt detail, and subscriptions when you want a screen.
Texting is the widest way in. Start there.
Charts and receipt detail when you want a screen.
Coming. Honest, not vapor.
What works today
Creates spaces, logs expenses and splits, runs balances and settlements.
A space per group. Your lease, your cabin, your Tuesday dinners.
Email and phone normalize to a single person, however they joined.
Photo the receipt. It reads it.
It sends the awkward text. Not you.
See where the money actually went.
Principles
The chat feels human. The ledger is exact.
An action in Messages matches the app.
Everyone sees the same numbers. No arguing.
Why now
Group spending keeps climbing: shared leases, travel, group chats that turn into ledgers. Other tools still make you leave the conversation. Solus lives in the chat.

Pricing
Free while we are in beta. Everyone who joins early keeps it free permanently. Later there will be a paid tier for the proactive stuff: Solus watching balances and doing the asking without being told. The part where you text it and it answers stays free.
