Rent, bills and chores for a shared house, in one place.

TableCash. Friends chip in by card, and the money lands with one organizer. Nothing leaves until that person says yes. Everyone in the group sees every dollar, and anyone can ask for money from the table.

One person in charge is the point, not a workaround

Most group-money tools dodge the real question: who actually holds the money? Splitting apps hold nothing, they just track what people are due back after the fact. Person-to-person apps scatter the money across everyone's balances. A shared bank account is overkill and nobody wants to open one for a trip. What groups actually do, and have always done, is trust one person to hold it. TableCash takes that arrangement and gives it a shared record.

How the model works

1. The organizer creates a table with a purpose on it, the trip, the season, the house fund, the gift.
2. Friends chip in by card. The money goes directly to the organizer, the app never holds it.
3. Anyone at the table can request money from it, for any reason. The organizer approves or declines, they're the gatekeeper.
4. Everyone sees everything: who chipped in, what's there, what was approved out, and where it went.

Why visibility makes the one-person model safe

The reason groups get nervous about one person holding the money is that it usually happens in the dark, a balance only the holder can see, a history only the holder remembers. TableCash flips that: the organizer keeps control, but the record is public to the group. Every chip-in, every request, every approval is visible to every member the moment it happens. The organizer is protected by the record as much as the group is.

That's the whole product: a group fund with one person in charge, where cards are handled by Stripe, a licensed payment processor, and the app is the interface and the record. If you're comparing tools, the test is simple, ask who holds the money and who can see it. TableCash's answer: one trusted person holds it, and everyone sees it.
