[ 01 ] Overview

Paying each other back, without the awkward reminders or a subscription.

We built a small app made for that one bill. Invoices go out on schedule, texts do the reminding, and everyone pays by bank or card. Stripe keeps the ledger, so there is no database to run. When the term ends, the app switches off.

[ 02 ] Problem

A family shares one bill for a set term, and each person owes the same share each month.

Chasing each other for money is awkward, and paying for a billing subscription to do it made no sense.

  1. 01

    Awkward Reminders

    Someone had to chase family members for money every month.

  2. 02

    A Subscription for One Bill

    A billing service meant paying a subscription for a bill with a set term.

  3. 03

    One More Password

    Each family member would need another account just to pay a share.

[ 03 ] Approach

  1. 01

    Reminders That Do the Chasing

    Text reminders go out before and after each due date, so nobody has to ask.

  2. 02

    No Database to Maintain

    Stripe is the ledger. Nothing else stores payment records, so there is nothing to back up or patch.

  3. 03

    Sign-In Without Passwords

    Members sign in from a magic link in their email.

[ 04 ] Outcome

The app is live and in use by the family. It sends invoices on schedule, texts the reminders and takes payment by bank or card.

Stripe keeps the ledger, so there is no database to run. When the term ends, the app switches off.
