Get help with Zel — or just ask.

Zel is a small, independent project. That means two things: you'll usually hear back from a real person within a day, and we genuinely want your feedback — especially the kind that stings.

Need a hand? Email alexdevpanda@gmail.com with a short description and, if it helps, a screenshot. We reply within one business day.

Frequently asked

How do I request TestFlight access?
Zel is in private TestFlight while we polish the last rough edges. Send an email to alexdevpanda@gmail.com with the Apple ID you'd like to test on, and we'll add you to the list.
How does Zel "read" an expense from a message?
Zel looks for a description and an amount in the message — things like dinner 120, uber 15 usd, or groceries 48.60 split 3 ways. When confidence is high, it turns the message into a transaction card that shows the amount, currency, and split. You can edit or remove the card anytime.
Can I use Zel with people who don't have it yet?
Yes. You can add anyone by name as a pending member. They'll still appear in splits and balances. When they join Zel and claim the slot, their historical expenses link to their account automatically.
Does Zel move real money?
No. Zel tracks who owes what — it doesn't send payments. When someone settles up, you mark it in the app. Zel updates the ledger. The money moves through whatever channel you already use.
Can I use multiple currencies in one trip?
Yes. Each trip has a default currency, but individual expenses can be logged in any of the 150+ supported currencies. Zel formats each expense in its original currency and keeps balances separate by currency.
How do I export my trip data?
From any trip, tap the menu → Export to Spreadsheet. You get a clean .xlsx with two sheets: transactions (every expense and settlement) and member summary (spent, owed, balance). It's self-verifying — any mismatch shows up as a red row.
How do I delete my account?
Email alexdevpanda@gmail.com from the address on your account. We'll confirm and delete your profile, authored trips, and related content within 30 days. See the privacy policy for detail on what we retain and why.
Is Zel available on Android or the web?
We're launching iOS first. Android and web are both in the codebase and tested, but we want one platform to feel excellent before we ship the others.
I found a bug. What do I do?
Best path: use the in-app Help & feedback flow from your profile — it sends us your message, the screen you were on, and (optionally) a screenshot. Alternatively, email alexdevpanda@gmail.com with steps to reproduce.

Still stuck?

Email us at alexdevpanda@gmail.com. Include your email address on the account, a short description of the issue, and a screenshot if you have one. We reply within one business day, and always from a real human.
