LumelaFlexible splitting
Split evenly, by exact amounts, or by shares. Include only the people who were actually there. One expense can even have several payers — because sometimes two people cover the deposit together.
The full tour
Everything Lumela does
Five tabs, one group, and a long list of small decisions made in favour of people who are tired, in a hurry, and possibly standing in a field with no reception.
💸 Money
The part that quietly ruins friendships if you leave it to memory.
Multi-currency, done properly
Pay in euros, get reimbursed in shekels. Each expense stores the exchange rate from the day it happened, so a rate change next month never silently rewrites what you owe.
Balances you can argue with
Lumela shows the real pairwise picture — you and Dana, you and Noam — and can itemise both directions of any pair, so 'why do I owe 340?' has an answer instead of a shrug.
Receipts on the expense
Photograph the bill and attach it — several images per expense if the supermarket run needed two receipts. It stays with the record, not in a camera roll nobody can search.
Guests in the split
Add someone who isn't in the app at all and still include them in expenses. When they finally install it, they aren't starting from zero.
Delete, restore, and a paper trail
Anyone in the group can remove a wrong expense, and anyone can bring it back. Every edit is logged on the expense itself, so mistakes are fixable without a debate about who changed what.
🗓️ Plans & reminders
Everything with a time attached to it, in one place everyone can see.
Day-by-day itinerary
Events grouped by day, in order, with the past folded away so today is what you see first. Pull down and you can step back through previous days one at a time.
Per-event timezones
A flight leaves in one timezone and lands in another. Each event carries the timezone it belongs to, so nobody shows up an hour early in a different country.
Reminders each person opts into
The driver wants the 06:00 alert. Everyone else does not. Notifications are per person, per item, so a shared plan doesn't mean shared alarms.
T.B.A is a real state
Half of a trip isn't scheduled yet, and pretending otherwise creates fake certainty. Undated items sit in their own place until someone pins them down.
Connect a known festival
For supported events, a group admin can connect the official programme and it appears inside your trip — read-only, always current, and never duplicated per person.
Checklists with sign-off
Packing lists, prep tasks, 'someone call the campsite'. Tick items off, see who did what, and for group tasks require a confirmation so 'done' actually means done.
📍 Places & people
Where things are, and where everyone else is.
Saved places, grouped by day
The campsite, the parking, the restaurant with the view. Pinned to the map, sorted into the day you'll need them, and reorderable by dragging.
Search and navigate
Find an address inside the app, save it to the trip, then hand it to your maps app for turn-by-turn. On the road, CarPlay shows the same saved places.
Opt-in live location
Turn it on when the group splits up, off when you get home. Multiple devices per person are handled, and the map is honest about stale pins instead of showing a confident lie.
Who's around
A quiet presence indicator shows who has the app open now and when the others were last seen — enough to know if it's worth waiting before you order.
Contacts for the trip
The host, the driver, the guy with the spare key. Import from your phone or add by hand, and keep them with the trip instead of in a chat message.
One invite link
Share a link or a short code. It works even if the person doesn't have the app yet — they install, open it, and land in the right group instead of an empty home screen.
📄 Documents & the rest
The small things that decide whether a trip feels organised or improvised.
Tickets and bookings offline
Documents are downloaded to the device ahead of time and kept there. The app also tracks what it had to evict, so it never claims to have a file it can't show you.
Folders and link collections
Group documents into folders, and keep a separate place for links — the Airbnb listing, the playlist, the shared album — so the two don't compete for the same list.
Tags that scale
Once a list passes forty items, categories matter. Tag anything, filter by tag, and rename or clean up tags without touching the items underneath.
Search across the trip
One search box over events, tasks, places, documents and expenses. On iPhone, trip content also shows up in the system Spotlight search.
Widgets and Live Activities
A home-screen widget with what's next, and a live card on the lock screen while an event is actually running. Android gets its own widget too.
An assistant, scoped tight
Ask about your trip in plain language, or dictate three reminders at once. It can read only your personal items and the one group you're in, and it can only create — never silently edit or delete.
Same trip, every platform
Your friend with the four-year-old Android is not a second-class member of the group.

Good to know
How many people can be in one group?
Enough for a full camp. Groups hold a couple of dozen members today, and larger capacity is one of the things planned for the optional Lumela+ subscription. Guests — people in the splits without an account — don't count against you the same way.
Can I be in more than one trip at a time?
Yes. Switch groups from the header, and everything — plans, wallet, places, documents — switches with it. Personal items you keep for yourself stay visible across all of them.
What happens when someone leaves the group?
Their contributions stay — the expenses they paid, the events they added — so the history stays honest. Group admins control who can join, and can require approval before a new member sees anything.
Try it on the next trip
It takes about a minute to create a group and send the link. The rest fills itself in.
