🚀 Quickstart

The basic flow in Evere is simply “create a project → log expenses → settle up.” Here we’ll walk through it using a trip as an example. It takes about 5 minutes.

Step 1: Get started with Evere

Download Evere from the App Store and open it, then choose how to start.

• Sign up with Apple / Google / email — your data is saved to the cloud and all features (invites, recording settlements) are available.
• Start as a guest — use it right away without signing up, though some features are limited (see Account & data).

First, set your display name. This is the name shown to your project members (you can change it later).

Step 2: Create a project

Create a new project from the “Projects” tab.

1. Enter a project name (e.g., “Thailand Trip”).
2. Choose the currencies you’ll use. For an overseas trip, it’s handy to include both the local currency (e.g., THB) and your own (e.g., USD).
3. One of the currencies you pick becomes the base currency. Settlement is calculated in this currency.
4. If you like, add participants by name (you can also add them later).

Note

The base currency can no longer be changed once you log the first expense. Because it’s used for all settlement calculations, double-check it when you create the project.

Step 3: Log an expense

Log expenses from the “Add” tab.

1. Enter the amount and currency.
2. Choose the payer (who paid).
3. Choose the participants (who shares this expense) and the split mode (equal, ratio, or manual).
4. Optionally add a category, title, date, memo, and receipt image.

Use “Add another” to record several expenses in a row.

Step 4: Check the settlement status

Open the “Settlement” tab to see the result Evere calculated automatically.

• Summary: total number of expenses and total amount
• Settlement status: the ratio of settled vs. unsettled
• Payment comparison: for each participant, how much they paid vs. how much they owe
• Settlement: who should pay whom, and how much

Step 5: Settle up and record it

Once the money has actually changed hands, tap that item on the settlement screen to mark it settled. Settled amounts are excluded from further calculations, and a record is kept of who has settled.

That completes the basic loop. From the next pages on, we’ll look at each feature in more detail.
