SquadKitty

The kitty tracker built for office coffee runs

Every office has someone who ends up buying the coffee, the biscuits, and covering the gap until people chip in. SquadKitty is the free, shared answer to "how much is left in the kitty?" — no spreadsheet, no signups for the rest of the office.

Built for the coffee corner, not accounting software

Coffee runs out, someone covers a round of Friday drinks, and a birthday cake fund needs chasing before someone's actual birthday. SquadKitty turns the running balance into a link you can share in the office Slack or WhatsApp — anyone can check it, only you can edit it.

How it works

  1. Create your kitty. Sign up free and pick "Social fund" — drinks, food and venue are set up for you.
  2. Share the link or code. Drop it in the office Slack or group chat. Anyone with it can see the balance — no account needed.
  3. Log contributions and spending. Add your colleagues, then record who's chipped in and what's been bought.
  4. Everyone stays in sync. The balance updates live for anyone watching the link. Only you can add or edit entries.

Why not just a spreadsheet or a Slack message?

Because nobody opens the spreadsheet, and a pinned message showing the balance is out of date the moment someone pays cash. A link that's always current is the only version people actually check — and it means you stop being asked "how much do we owe you?" every payday.

Questions

Do my colleagues need to sign up?
No. Only the organiser needs an account. Everyone else just opens the link.
Is it free?
Yes, no card required.
Does real money move through the app?
No — it's a running tally of what's been collected and spent, not a payment app.
We also cover birthday gifts and leaving cards — does this still work?
Yes, the social fund preset's categories are fully editable, so gifts and cards fit right in.
