iOS client for Cospend on Nextcloud & iHateMoney.org
Download from the Apple App Store.
Open beta with new features via TestFlight.
Using SwiftUI and Combine. Inspired by Moneybuster.
PayForMe is an open source project, which means the code is freely available and anyone can contribute to its development. The project is developed in my free time and contributions are always welcome!
Ways to contribute:
- Report bugs or suggest features via GitHub Issues
- Help with localization (see below)
- Submit code improvements through Pull Requests
- Share the app with others who might find it useful
- Show listed bills
- Create new bills
- Balance of project members
- Handling several projects
- Colorcodes to differentiate users
- Update bills
- Delete bills
- Clearing debt of single members
Creating new projects on iHateMoney- Adding new members to a project
- Statistics: totals, per-member paid/spent/balance, monthly trend, category breakdown and a settlement plan
- Three themes, each with a light and a dark variant, switchable under Projects > Appearance
The Statistics tab answers the questions a shared project actually raises: where the money went, who is carrying the group, and what the shortest way back to zero is.
- Totals for the selected period — spend, number of expenses, average expense, average per participating member
- Balances as diverging bars around a zero line, using the same split rule as the Members tab so the two can never disagree
- Settle up — a greedy plan that clears every debt in at most one transfer fewer than there are members
- Monthly spending, including months with no spending, so a gap reads as "nobody spent anything" rather than as missing data
- Categories and the currency label, read from the Cospend project itself. iHateMoney has no categories, so the section hides itself there.
Date ranges are this month, the last three or six months, this year, or all time.
The monthly trend is a Swift Charts bar chart. The other three — ranked payer bars, diverging balances and the category share bar — are deliberately not Swift Charts: the first two are list rows carrying a member avatar, which a category axis cannot render, and the share bar needs a 2 pt gap between stacked segments so two adjacent palette hues never read as one block. Swift Charts stacks marks flush.
Colour, elevation and shape come from a token set rather than being hardcoded per screen, so the whole app restyles at once. Three directions ship:
- Aurora — deep indigo, vivid gradients, soft glass. The default.
- Graphite — editorial monochrome with hairlines instead of shadows; only money carries colour.
- Mint — warm paper, mint and coral, generous rounding.
Each has a hand-stepped light and dark palette, and light/dark can be forced independently of the system setting. The categorical chart palette is shared by all three and was validated for colour-blind separation and contrast against every theme surface in both modes — its ordering is what makes neighbouring series distinguishable, so reordering it is not a cosmetic change.
If you want to localize PayForMe into your language you are very welcome! If unfamiliar, here is a short guide:
To add a new localization, fork the project on github, download it, open it in XCode and then navigate to the Project/Info settings, and add a new localization file there. It is recommended but not necessary to use iOSLocalizationEditor then to easily translate all strings. Afterwards, commit and push you changes and open a pull request to the main repository.
