## What is Bill Splitter?

Dinner was good. Then the bill arrives, and someone has to work out who had the salad, who shared the dessert, and who is covering it all.

Point SplitHappens at the receipt. It reads every line item, everyone taps what they had, and the app works out who owes what – item by item, not split down the middle.

Free, no ads, no subscription.

EVERYONE PAYS FOR THEIR OWN ITEMS
- Individual items get split, not just the total
- Whoever had one soda pays for one soda, not a quarter of everything
- A single item can be shared too: the starter you split, the bottle of wine for the table
- Everyone sees the same bill, live. No more passing screenshots around.

SCAN THE RECEIPT
- Take a photo: restaurants, supermarkets, hotels, cafés
- The scanner picks up items, prices and quantities
- Anything it gets wrong, you fix with a tap
- Works with more than 30 currencies

GUESTS DO NOT NEED AN ACCOUNT
- Anyone without the app joins by name
- A link shows a guest what they owe in the browser – nothing to install, nothing to sign up for
- If they create an account later, their existing bills come with them

EVENTS FOR TRIPS, HOUSEHOLDS AND GROUPS
- One event for a holiday, the people you live with, a birthday or the weekly pub night
- Every bill in one place, everyone included automatically
- Log an expense in another currency and it converts on its own
- At the end the app tells you who pays whom, in as few transfers as possible

THREE WAYS TO ADD A BILL
- With a receipt: take the photo and the items get read for you
- Without a receipt: enter the total and add the items yourself
- Quick Split: just the total, divided evenly
Items can be split evenly, by shares, by percentage or with custom amounts.

SETTLING UP
- Balances net off across bills: you owe €30, you are owed €10, so €20 is left
- Clear everything between two people in a single tap
- Add your PayPal address or IBAN so nobody has to ask where to send it

ADDING FRIENDS
- Add a friend by QR code in seconds
- Share events and bills by link
- No public profiles, no friend suggestions. Your contacts stay yours.

GOOD FOR
- Restaurants and bars where everyone ordered something different
- Living with other people: scan the grocery receipt, everyone takes their own items
- Trips and group holidays: one event, settled up at the end
- Spontaneous rounds: add someone as a guest and split straight away
- Anyone after a free alternative to the subscription apps

YOUR DATA
- Bills, profiles and balances sit on our own server in Germany
- No ad tracking, no ads, nothing passed on to advertisers
- Export everything as CSV whenever you want
- Delete your account in the app – no questions, no support email needed
- Light or dark, following your system settings

SplitHappens is built by one person in Germany. If something breaks or you are missing something, write to support@splithappens.io – it goes straight to the developer.


## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.62 — 2026-09-19

New Features
- You can now record event payments sent to you yourself with a single tap on "Confirm". The person who paid gets a notification.
- If a guest has open bills in different currencies, their guest link shows the amounts per currency plus an approximate total in the recipient's currency.

Improvements
- Each guest now has one link for everything. When you share it from a bill or an event, it opens right at that spot.
- Long bills in events now scroll smoothly through all items.
- The guided tour through the sample bill is calmer: the tip card stays in place, feedback appears right inside it, and you are guided step by step.

### 1.0.61 — 2026-09-16

Improvements
- Notifications now arrive reliably after switching accounts on the same device.

### 1.0.59 — 2026-09-12

Improvements
- Open amounts for guests are now shown even more reliably, including when you assign additional items to a guest later on.

### 1.0.58 — 2026-09-11

New Features
- Sample bill to get you started: If you are new to the app, you will find a sample bill right away with open, assigned and shared items. It shows you at a glance how to claim an item, assign it to someone or split it between two people. Tap the hint on the home screen to open it directly.
- Guided first steps: The sample bill walks you through small tasks step by step, from claiming an item to settling up. Each step shows you exactly where to tap.

Improvements
- The sample bill is clearly marked in your list and disappears on its own as soon as you take part in a real bill. Friends and balances are up to date right afterwards.
- Terms of Service and Privacy Policy are now also available in Spanish and open in the language of your app.
- General stability improvements.

### 1.0.57 — 2026-09-08

Improvements
- Friends: Balances now load more reliably. You see a placeholder while they load, and if the connection stumbles you get a hint with the option to try again right away. After an interruption the app reconnects on its own.
- Receipt scanning: Fuel receipts and items sold by weight or volume (liters, kilograms) are now recognized as a single item with the full amount.
- Receipt scanning: Restaurant and US receipts with tax or a service charge on the total line now deliver every individual item. Taxes and fees appear as their own line, and an unrecognized item becomes visible and can be assigned.
- Receipt scanning: The review hint after scanning now tells you exactly what to check, such as a total mismatch or a missing item.
- Italian and Spanish: Translations are now complete throughout the app. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy open in Italian for Italian users.
- Large text: The choice cards when creating a bill now adapt cleanly to larger font sizes.
- General stability improvements.
