Show Running Balance After Each Transaction
Bryan
Hi SplitMyExpenses Team,
I’d like to suggest a small but helpful feature. After each transaction in a friend's history, could you display the running balance up to that point?
For example:
David C
owes you $20
Transaction C – you paid $16 (Balance: $20)
Transaction B – you paid $5 (Balance: $4)
Transaction A – friend paid $1 (Balance: -$1)
This would make it much easier to track how the balance has changed over time. It would also be really helpful in cases where I want a friend to pay me back only for specific transactions.
Thanks for considering this!

Hi Bryan thanks for the post! Right now, it's a bit hard since user's can edit their old expenses and it will shift _everything_. They can even edit their old payments. Although this is uncommon, it's not unheard of and is allowed behavior. So it makes tracking things over time a bit harder, since it isn't always very very straightforwards to track balances over time. I think a monthly balance save could be a simpler option here, but real time balance is hard at the moment. This design makes it easier for other things, so it's a bit of an intentional tradeoff here.
