A ledger for the house, not a payment app.
Lejer keeps the bills you share with the people you live with, along with who owes what to whom and by when, so nobody has to keep a spreadsheet or chase anyone by text.
Where it came from
It started as two small apps for two apartments. In the first, one roommate paid every bill and everyone paid them back. In the second, each bill had its own person: one had the electric, another the internet, and everyone owed everyone a little.
Both apps did the same job: post the statement, show each person their share, remind them before it was due, and check them off once they'd paid. So they became one product, with a setting for each way of running a house.
What it holds to
Calm about money.
This is money between friends who live together. Nothing should feel alarming, salesy or flimsy, and the record should be visibly accurate.
The number comes first.
On any screen, what you owe or are owed, to whom and by when, is the first thing you can read, even on a phone.
Nobody gets nagged.
Reminders inform without guilt. Every email has to earn its place in your inbox.
Record, don't transact.
Lejer never holds or moves money. The person who fronts a bill and the roommate who owes on it are served equally.
Who makes it
Lejer is made by Aaron Perkel LLC. It's free, with no ads and no card, and it grows by word of mouth: one house tells the next.
Your household's bills, amounts and statements are visible only to its members, and each household's records are kept separate in the database itself.
Start your household.
Invite your roommates by email, and the next bill goes on the record.
