How a room works on mobile and desktop
The same shared ledger whether you open it on a phone at the checkout or on a laptop at home. The layout changes with the screen; the numbers do not.
- open the rooms list and pick bali trip
- add an expense: amount, description, category, split
- hand three receipts to the AI assistant and watch them land in the ledger
- check the spending charts
- back to the rooms list
On desktop: a sidebar that stays put
The left sidebar holds rooms, subscriptions, and analytics, with your rooms listed underneath, so switching between them is one click. Inside a room the sections stack down the page: title and totals, your position, the category bars, then the add-expense form beside the weekly history. A new expense appears in the list as soon as you save it.
On mobile: bottom nav, one column
Navigation moves to a fixed bottom bar, with a floating add button within thumb reach. The room becomes a single column in the same order as the desktop layout, so the page is longer rather than wider. Nothing is hidden behind a "view on desktop" message.
Asking instead of typing
The last part of the walkthrough uses the MCP connector. Handing over three receipts from dinner produces three expense records in the room, each with a payer, an amount, and a split, which you can then edit like any other entry. It is the same ledger the phone is showing, reached a different way.
Open a room on your phone, check it on your laptop: same balances, same expenses. See also how Owetell works offline.
