## What is Chiipin?

Chiipin splits two kinds of money: the dinner you just paid for, and the bills that come back every month. New in this version: what your household keeps in the house, and what it costs to keep replacing it.

SPLIT ANY BILL - FREE
- Evenly, by exact amounts, or item by item
- Tax and tip handled properly, not estimated
- Scan a receipt and Chiipin reads the items for you
- Or say it out loud and let it fill the bill in
- See who owes what, and settle up with the fewest payments possible
- Groups for trips, dinners, and anything else shared
- One household, with its first recurring bill - set your rent up once and let it come back

WHAT THE HOUSE KEEPS - FREE
- A shared shelf: what you have, how much is left, and who needs to buy more
- Mark something running low or out and the rest of the household is told
- Put the date from the packet on anything that has one, and choose how much warning you want
- Scan a barcode to find something you already have, or to add something you do not
- Read a product name off the packet instead of typing it
- Pick what you are out of and Chiipin writes the shopping bill for you
- After that bill is split, put what you bought back on the shelf without typing it again
- See what a thing has cost you every time, how often you buy it, and roughly what that is a month

FOR PEOPLE WHO SHARE A HOME - CHIIPIN PRO
- Every recurring bill after the first: utilities, internet, parking, the variable ones
- More than one household, for a place you moved to or still share
- Split by who actually lived there, so a month someone was away is a month they do not pay for
- Move-out statements when someone leaves
- Search every bill by name, note, item, or who paid
- Spending reports by category and by month
- CSV export of your bills and settlements
- Your own categories, and photos for your profile and your groups
- On the shelf: more than five places to file things, a photo of the real thing instead of an icon, and barcodes on more than three items

PRIVACY
Receipt scanning runs on your device. The picture never leaves it.

## Version history (last 5 releases)

### 1.0.4 — 2026-09-17

ON IPAD

- Chiipin now runs full screen on iPad, in portrait and landscape.
- Home and Household use the extra width for two columns: the month's calendar and bills on one side, what they add up to on the other.
- Groups keeps the list beside the group you open, Settle shows what settling with someone involves beside the people you share bills with, and Profile keeps its settings beside the page you pick.
- Bills, Storage and every other page stay at a comfortable width instead of stretching across the screen.
- Add bill sits in the corner, within reach from anywhere.
- In a narrow window, Chiipin lays itself out as it does on iPhone.

PAYMENT DETAILS

- Add FPS, PayMe, LINE Pay, PayPay, KakaoPay, Toss, Cash App and more, with methods common where you live listed first.
- People paying you see the ways common where they are first, and can copy any of them in one tap. Only people who share a group or household with you and owe you money can see them.

### 1.0.3 — 2026-09-16

SPLIT IT FAIRLY

- Portions: give someone 2 for the extra lunch they packed, or 0 to leave them out.
- See who's in and what each person carries before you create the bill.
- "What this changes" shows how your balance with each person moves.
- A new bill starts on the category you last used in that household or group.

FIX IT TOGETHER

- Anyone in a group can correct a bill, and everyone on it hears what changed.

SETTLE ONCE

- One payment per person clears every group you share, in both directions.
- Payments waiting on you can be confirmed or turned down in one tap.
- Add your e-Transfer, PayPal or other details, and people paying you see them.

YOUR HOUSEHOLD, A MONTH AT A TIME

- One page for the household, and the month you turn to governs all of it.
- Every bill shows your part and who owes whom.
- A repeating bill says which stretch of time it pays for, and splits by the days each person lived there.
- A bill left unpaid last period carries onto this month.

HOME AND GROUPS AT A GLANCE

- Home shows your household, storage and groups, and what is waiting on you.
- Groups shows your net across groups and each group's latest activity. Settled groups fold away.

YOUR SETTINGS

- Choose which notifications reach your lock screen.
- Set the reminder new things on the shelf start with.

AND

- Profile and group photos show reliably.
- Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Japanese and Korean throughout.

### 1.0.2 — 2026-09-09

THE SHELF

- What your household keeps in the house: what is there, how much is left, and who needs to buy more.
- Mark something running low or out and everyone else is told.
- File things onto shelves you name yourself - kitchen, bathroom, under the sink. Five are free.
- An icon for everything, including the things icon sets usually forget. A photo of the real thing with Chiipin Pro.
- Put it in the order you want it. Nothing rearranges itself behind you.
- What is running low shows on Home, one household at a time.

BEFORE IT GOES OFF

- Put the date printed on the packet on anything that has one.
- Choose how much warning you want for each thing - milk and paracetamol are not the same question.
- The whole household hears in the morning, in your household's own time zone.

SCAN INSTEAD OF TYPE

- Scan a barcode to find something already on your shelf, or to add something new.
- Read a product name straight off the packet instead of typing it out.
- Scan your way down the trolley and the bill writes its own lines.
- Three items can carry a barcode for free. Reading one always is.

FROM THE SHELF TO A BILL, AND BACK AGAIN

- Pick what you have run out of and Chiipin writes the shopping bill for you, brand and size included.
- After a bill is split, put what you bought on the shelf without typing any of it twice.
- Chiipin learns what your till calls things, so the next shop at the same place matches itself.

WHAT THINGS COST

- Every time you have bought a thing, on its own page.
- How often you buy it, and roughly what that comes to in a month.
- Filling in the price on a restock? Chiipin says whether this trip is dearer than the last one, and by how much.

AN ACCENT OF YOUR OWN

- Choose the colour Chiipin uses, from the range that stays readable in both light and dark.

### 1.0.1 — 2026-09-03

DEPOSITS, PROPERLY

- Record more than one: the damage deposit, the pet deposit, the keys.
- Say what each resident put in, not just the total.
- Close one out three ways: returned (in full or short), put towards a bill, or forfeited - and Chiipin works out who owes whom.

RECURRING BILLS

- The entry moved up, and it is now called what it is.
- Your first recurring bill in a household is free, and a counter shows where you stand.
- Start a one-off bill, then decide it repeats: what you typed carries over.

HOME, REBUILT

- Home keeps only what is waiting on you.
- One card per household with the month's progress, instead of a row for every bill.
- Groups are the ones you used last, with a count of the rest underneath.
- Tap what needs confirming and you land on that exact payment in Settle.
- The spending charts moved to Reports, in full.

HISTORY, PER SCOPE

- The clock opens the history of what you are looking at: a group, a household, or everything.
- A household's past months sit inside its own history, side by side, each bill with its own trend.
- It keeps loading past the first page, and says which month you are in.
- A group's bills are grouped by month.

SETTLE

- What is already settled, grouped by the person you settled it with.

REPEATING BILLS CAN BE CHANGED

- Edit one after you have made it: the amount, the split, the day it falls due, what it is called.
- Change the amount and this month's bill follows, unless someone has already paid into it.
- Stop one for good. The bills it already made stay where they are.
- Only the person who pays a bill can change it, and Chiipin now says exactly that when it stops you.
- When a bill changes, the people who owe a share of it are told, each with their own new figure.

CURRENCY

- Choose it when you make a group or a household, instead of every bill quietly landing in US dollars.
- Correct a group's currency and the bills still outstanding follow it.

FIXED

- A recurring bill or a deposit that failed to save used to close the sheet without a word. It now says what happened.
- A typed amount now carries into the itemized split instead of starting from zero.
- A household on Home opens the household, not an empty group screen.
- A payment shows up in every group it settles, in that group's own currency.
