Arroz splits expenses between people who live together and people who travel together, and keeps your monthly budget somewhere nobody else can see.
The app does not move money. It works out who owes whom; the transfer happens between people, by bank transfer or however they prefer.
Arroz is Portuguese for rice — what sits on everyone's plate, every day, and nobody argues about. It holds the house together without drawing attention, and that is how an app about money between close people should work.
Splitting a bill with someone you love is delicate. The app exists to take weight off that conversation: it keeps the numbers so that nobody has to say them out loud.
Household groups — the people you live with, fixed bills, month after month — and trip groups — temporary, many expenses in a few days, settled at the end.
You join a group with a six-letter code, never by email. You can add someone by name alone, before they have the app; they claim that spot when they join with the code.
Your personal budget: what comes in, what goes out, categories, accounts and recurring rules.
The contents are private: your entries, categories and amounts stay on your iPhone and sync through your own iCloud. They are not shared with anyone.
Apple account, the name other people see in the group, language, theme, Face ID lock, alerts and usage data sharing.
Deleting your account is here too, without having to ask anyone.
Three steps to the first settle-up. None of them asks for anyone else's email.
Household or trip. It comes with a six-letter code from the start.
Anyone with the code can join. Anyone who does not have the app yet can be added by name.
Equally, by exact amounts, or to a single person. Balances are recalculated on the spot.
Screenshots of demonstration data — none of them show anyone's real information.
Your groups, each with its balance.
Inside a group: expenses, balances and the settle-up.
Three ways to split: equally, exact amounts, or one person.
The history records who touched what, and nobody can rewrite it.
The Month tab, which only you can see.
The short list matters more than the long one. None of this is a statement of intent: it is what is, or is not, in the code.
To know what to improve and what to fix, the app records anonymous actions — that the app was opened, that an entry was created. Never amounts, never descriptions, never names. The record is not tied to your account, and you can switch it off under Profile at any time.
The help center has thirteen articles, from the first group to deleting your account.
