We use Splitwise to split joint expenses, as they have [way more options](https://community.emma-app.com/t/what-important-features-are-we-missing/6046/175). I then keep a manual offline current account called “Splitwise”, where I periodically update the balance to match the total of what is owed, in order to keep my personal net worth accurate.

I guess it’d be slicker if the whole process was more integrated within Emma, provided that;

- The kickass splitting options from Splitwise existed within Emma; and
- Pending transactions can be split instantly without the hypertensive “Hey slow down 🙄” message; and
- Switching my partner over to Emma wouldn’t be too much friction (protracted account setup / email activation processes, premium subscriptions, etc)
