Splitting the bill should take seconds, not a group argument. CrewTab snaps a photo of any receipt, reads the items for you, and works out exactly what everyone owes — tax and tip included. No accounts. No spreadsheets. No "I'll just Venmo you later." Just point, split, done. — SCAN ANY RECEIPT — Take a photo and CrewTab automatically pulls out the items and prices, so you're not typing them in one by one. Works with everyday receipts in multiple languages. — SPLIT IT YOUR WAY — Tap to assign each item to whoever ordered it, or split things evenly across the table. CrewTab divides tax and any additional charge fairly and shows a clean per-person total. — TAX & CHARGES, HANDLED — Set tax and service/additional charges as simple percentages. Adjust them per bill — the math updates instantly. — SAVE YOUR CREW — Create Groups for the people you split with most — roommates, your dinner crew, the travel squad. Add everyone to a new bill in one tap instead of retyping names every time. — BUILD A BILL BY HAND — No receipt? Create a bill manually in seconds and split it the same way. — SHARE THE SPLIT — Send a clean summary as an image or text so everyone knows what they owe at a glance. — PRIVATE BY DESIGN — Your bills are stored on your iPhone. No sign-up, no profile, nothing to manage. Perfect for dinners out, group trips, shared groceries, rent and utilities, road trips, and every "who had the extra drink?" moment.
