## Use Cases

### Roommates & Shared Housing
Split rent, utilities, groceries, and household supplies with roommates. Track who paid the electricity bill, who bought toilet paper, and ensure everyone pays their fair share. Perfect for apartments, shared houses, or co-living spaces.

**Example**: Four roommates sharing a $2,400/month apartment. Track rent ($600 per person), split utilities ($150 total), grocery runs ($40-80 per trip), and household supplies. SuperDivide shows exactly who owes what and simplifies monthly settlements.

### Travel Groups
Planning a trip with friends or family? Track all shared expenses from flights and hotels to group dinners and activities. No more awkward conversations about who paid for what.

**Example**: Five friends on a week-long vacation. One person books the Airbnb ($1,500), another rents a car ($400), everyone takes turns paying for meals ($50-200 each). SuperDivide calculates the final settlement so everyone pays exactly their share.

### Couples
Track shared expenses while maintaining financial independence. Perfect for dating couples, engaged partners, or married couples who want visibility into joint spending.

**Example**: Split date nights, groceries, rent, or just track who paid for dinner last time. No need to split every coffee, but easily track larger shared expenses.

### Social Events & Dinners
Group dinners, concert tickets, event planning, or any social gathering with shared costs. One person can pay upfront and easily split the cost with everyone else.

**Example**: Dinner for 8 people at a restaurant. One person pays the $240 bill and SuperDivide divides it ($30 per person) or allows custom splits if some people had drinks and others didn't.

### Projects & Freelance Teams
Track shared expenses for collaborative projects, startup costs, or team purchases.

**Example**: Three freelancers working together need to split software subscriptions ($50/month), coworking space ($200/month), and equipment purchases. Track everything in one place.
