Pataca

Leaving Splitwise only works if nothing gets lost. Pataca reads the file Splitwise lets you download, works out who paid and each person's share, and brought in 1,038 expenses going back to 2023. The final balance matched Splitwise to the cent, and bringing the same file in twice never counts anything twice.

Splitwise only knows what we owe each other. Pataca also holds salaries, child benefit, what is in each account and what one account owes another, so the question changes from "who owes whom" to "where do we stand".

Income tax, VAT and social security each have a deadline and a reminder. What repeats sets up the next one by itself, and every year shows what went to the State, what came back, and the difference.

A yellow and purple icon, hand-painted and a little raw, like every NimGuru app. Inside, calm: cream paper, near-black text and one pine-green accent. Green means you get money back, clay means you owe, and nothing else is coloured. Dark mode follows the phone.

Every digit is the same width, so each amount sits in its column and a month reads like a ledger. The monthly summary prints on one page: starting balance, every expense, closing balance.

Groceries, rent, internet, pets: each category keeps its colour on every chart, from a palette checked for colour blindness. Every chart turns into a table for when exact numbers matter.
