# Welcome to CashCrew

CashCrew helps you keep shared money clear.

You can use it to track house costs, trip budgets, event spending, team expenses, or your own spending when you want more structure than a spreadsheet.

CashCrew is built around a simple flow:

1. Create or join a project.
2. Add expenses as they happen.
3. See who paid, who owes, and how spending changes over time.

## Start here

* New to CashCrew? Read [Getting Started](/cashcrew/getting-started.md).
