How does Boney handle situations where someone forgets to log a shared expense weeks later — does it still split it cleanly or does it get messy trying to retroactively update everyone's balances?

@larocakl47618 Yes, Boney handles it cleanly. You can add a shared expense even weeks later with the correct date, and the balances are recalculated automatically. It doesn't create a messy "retroactive fix", it simply updates what each person owes based on the expense history.
Report
How does the expense splitting actually work when one person pays up front and the others settle later, and does it handle different currencies or just stick to one?

@tlin2096647 When one person pays upfront, Boney records who paid and how the expense should be split between participants. The app then updates the balances so everyone can see who owes whom. Settlements can be added later when someone pays back. For now, budgets use one currency at a time, so it’s best suited for groups or couples managing expenses in the same currency.
Report
The decision to keep personal and shared budgets separate instead of forcing one merged view shows real respect for how people actually handle money with roommates or partners.

@nisanurahraz Thanks a lot! That's exactly the idea behind Boney. We wanted to avoid forcing everything into one shared pot, because in real life people often have personal budgets and shared expenses side by side. The goal is to keep both clear without mixing what should stay private.
