Events
Who brings what to the barbecue, and how the accounts end up
List what you need, everyone says “I’ll bring it” and whatever gets bought moves to the expenses. At the end, Divall shows who pays whom.
How it works
From the group chat to a clear list
For the barbecue, the day trip or the family party.
-
1. What you need
Give the event a name and a date, and list what needs to be brought, with an approximate price if you like.
-
2. “I’ll bring it”
Everyone picks what they’ll bring. Whatever nobody has taken shows as “Unclaimed”.
-
3. Bought
Whoever buys something marks it and enters what it cost, and it moves to the expenses, split among everyone.
The list
Everyone knows what’s missing
At the top: how much has been bought, how many things are still unclaimed, the approximate total and how much each person would chip in. The account tells you how many days are left.
- Unclaimed. Whatever nobody has taken stays in plain sight with its “I’ll bring it” button, and a red number on the account shows how many things are left.
- Approx. total. With the prices on the list, everyone knows roughly what their share will be.
- Expenses and balances. What gets bought is split, and Divall shows who pays whom, with few payments.

FAQ
About organizing an event
How is what each person bought split?
When something is marked as bought, whoever bought it enters what it cost and it moves to the expenses, split among the people going. You can change it in Expenses.
Do I have to enter a price for everything?
No. The price on the list is approximate and optional; it’s used to work out how much each person would chip in. What counts is what it actually cost.
Does everyone need the app?
No. Add anyone by name and share what they owe. If you want, invite them with a QR code, a link or their @username.
Is Events free?
Yes. Events is on the Free plan: up to 20 accounts every 30 days across Food and drinks, Nights out, Events and Gifts, with 2 open at a time.
