Split.thesmartcode.de is a simple and fast web app for splitting expenses fairly with friends, family, roommates, or travel groups. Whether you are sharing costs for a trip, dinner, household bills, or a group activity, Split helps you calculate who paid what and who owes whom - without complicated setup.
The app is available in 25 languages, making it easy to use internationally and across mixed-language groups. It works directly in the browser, so users can quickly create a split, enter expenses, and understand the result without installing an app.
Split is designed to be lightweight, accessible, and practical: no unnecessary features, no confusing interface, just a clear way to divide shared costs fairly.
Klartab is two opinionated tools built around one idea: do the obvious thing well, then stop.
Klartab Time is a timesheet tool for freelancers who bill by the hour. There's no live timer, no activity tracking, no bloat - just a clean monthly calendar where you log hours per project, export a PDF, and get paid. It handles multiple clients, currencies, and rates without any conversion surprises. Hour caps per work order nudge you before you accidentally over-bill a retainer. Once a month is invoiced, you lock it - server-side, no edits, no surprises.
Klartab Agency is the companion app for staffing agencies and boutique placement shops. Define work orders centrally, invite your contractors, and every submitted timesheet lands in one filtered inbox - defaulted to what's pending. Review with a full time-entry breakdown and a comment thread, approve to lock the period, or reject with a reason so the freelancer can resubmit in place. No invoicing, no payouts - deliberately out of scope.
The two tools work together but don't depend on each other. Use either one in isolation. Connect both, and any freelancer placed through your agency gets Klartab Time at no extra cost.
Both products are EU-hosted (Belgium), GDPR-ready, and built without behavioural advertising. Your data stays yours - and deleting your account is a one-click cascade.

People should choose Split because it removes the friction that many expense-splitting apps still have. There is no registration, no email address, no password, and no app download required. Users can simply create a group with one click, share expenses in real time, and instantly see the easiest way to settle up.
Split is especially useful for people who want a fast, lightweight, and privacy-friendly solution for trips, shared apartments, couples, events, or group gifts. It focuses on the core problem - splitting costs clearly and fairly - without unnecessary complexity or personal data collection. Inactive groups are automatically deleted after 21 days, which keeps the tool clean and reduces long-term data storage.
Klartab's answer:
Choose Klartab if you want tools that respect your time and your data, without the noise.

Split is unique because it makes shared expense tracking instantly accessible. Users can create a group with one click, add expenses in real time, and calculate who owes what without creating an account, entering an email address, or downloading an app.
Unlike many expense-splitting tools, Split is designed to be lightweight, anonymous, and privacy-friendly. It is ideal for vacations, road trips, shared apartments, couples, events, and group gifts. Inactive groups are automatically deleted after 21 days, keeping the app clean and reducing unnecessary data storage.
Klartab's answer:
Klartab is built around a single philosophy: do the obvious thing well, then stop. Unlike bloated all-in-one tools, Klartab offers two deliberately focused products โ Klartab Time for freelancers and Klartab Agency for staffing agencies โ each solving one problem without scope creep.
Split by TheSmartCode's answer
Split is primarily built for people who need a quick, simple, and privacy-friendly way to share expenses with others. Its main audience includes friends traveling together, roommates, couples, families, event organizers, and groups buying shared gifts.
It is especially useful for users who do not want to create an account, install an app, or share personal information just to split costs. Split is designed for people who value speed, simplicity, anonymity, and clear settlement calculations.
Klartab's answer:
Klartab serves two distinct audiences that often work together:
Freelancers (Klartab Time) Independent contractors who bill multiple clients at different rates and currencies. Specifically: - Mixed-client freelancers who need clean per-project PDF reports at month-end without manual spreadsheet work. - Retainer-heavy contractors on fixed-hour engagements who need cap tracking to avoid over-billing. - Freelancers placed through staffing agencies who need a simple way to submit timesheets for approval.
Staffing & Placement Agencies (Klartab Agency) Boutique agencies (typically 5โ30 contractors) that place freelancers with end clients and need to manage the time-approval workflow centrally. This includes working agency owners who both manage their teamโs submissions and log their own hours as a placed freelancer.
Split by TheSmartCode's answer
Split was created from a simple everyday problem: sharing expenses with a group should not require signing up, installing an app, or handing over personal information.
Many existing expense-splitting tools are powerful, but they often add friction for quick situations like vacations, road trips, shared apartments, events, or group gifts. Split was built to make the process as simple as possible: create a group, add expenses, share the link, and see who owes what.
The goal behind Split is to offer a lightweight, privacy-friendly alternative that focuses only on what people actually need when splitting costs: speed, clarity, real-time collaboration, and an easy way to settle up fairly.
Klartab's answer:
Klartab was built out of a frustration with tools that do too much. The founding philosophy is simple: identify the one obvious thing a tool should do, do it well, and stop there.
Klartab Time started as a timesheet tool for freelancers who were tired of live timers, activity tracking, and surveillance-style software. The goal was a clean, manual log โ hours per project, your rate, a PDF for the client โ without any of the noise.
Klartab Agency followed as the natural companion for the agencies that place those freelancers. Instead of chasing submissions over email and reconciling spreadsheets, agencies get a purpose-built inbox with approve/reject workflows, comment threads, and period locking.
Both products share the same values: EU-hosted, GDPR-ready, no behavioural advertising, transparent flat pricing, and a deliberate refusal to expand scope beyond whatโs needed. The Klartab suite is built for people who want software that gets out of the way.

Split is built as a lightweight web application using modern frontend technologies such as HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. For real-time data synchronization, Split uses Supabase, which allows group members to see new expenses and updates instantly.
The technical focus behind Split is simplicity, speed, and accessibility: users can open it directly in the browser, create a group with one click, and collaborate in real time without installing an app or creating an account.
Klartab's answer:
Klartab is built on Google Cloud infrastructure:
The web app is fully responsive and works well on mobile browsers. Native iOS and Android apps are on the roadmap.
Split by TheSmartCode's answer
Split is currently used by individual users and small private groups rather than publicly listed enterprise customers. Since the app works anonymously without registration or user accounts, Split does not track or showcase named customers. Its primary users are friends, couples, roommates, families, travel groups, and event organizers who want to split expenses quickly and privately.
Klartab's answer:
Klartab is an early-stage product and does not publicly list named customers. The typical customers are:
Splitwise - Splitwise is a free tool for friends and roommates to track bills and other shared expenses, so that everyone gets paid back. On the web, iPhone, and Android!
Toggl - Toggl is an online time tracking tool. It features 1-click time tracking and helps you see where your time goes. Free and paid versions are available.
