Option to mark expenses as "not split" / exclude settlements from view

[gittiedank]

I'm currently on a three-week trip, traveling with my wife and daughter. I'm the one paying for everything, they don't owe me anything, I'm effectively "the wallet." But every expense I log still generates a settlement/payment record showing what they owe me.

I use "+ Add expense" constantly (food, drinks, groceries, shopping, several times a day), so by day 10 of 25 I already have dozens of these unwanted settlement entries cluttering the trip expenses view. I have to scroll past all of them just to reach the summary at the bottom.

Proposed solution:

• An option to mark an expense (or a whole trip) as "not split" — i.e., paid entirely by one person with no debt owed by other members.

• A way to hide/collapse "Payment" settlement entries from the main expenses view, so the list only shows actual expenses and the summary is easier to reach.

• Move the expense summary to the top of the view.

Use case:

"Family trips" where one person pays for everyone and no reimbursement tracking is needed, the current flow forces manual settlement math for every single entry, which adds friction to what should be quick expense logging.

I think it would also be nice to hide the expenses from some members of the party. I am planning a trip for my parents retirement, i want them to enjoy the planning part but I don't need/want them to see the costs.

Yes, making expense as private would be a great feature. I'm planning a holiday with other family, and I don't want them to see what kind of expenses that I add.

@nighthawk156 I cheated a feature request for that:
