Meetup
👋 Welcome to G8
Eight friends. One app. We've been eating well, travelling far, and splitting bills awkwardly for years — so we built something to handle all of it.
G8 is our private group hub. It tracks shared expenses, trip costs, monthly pool contributions, birthdays, group polls, and restaurant wishlists — all in one place, synced live across every device.
No more "who paid last time?", missed birthdays, or WhatsApp threads trying to figure out a date that works. It's all here.
