Split warehouse-club, bulk, and grocery receipts without awkward math. BulkBuddy helps roommates, families, couples, and shopping groups divide shared grocery hauls fairly. Scan or enter a receipt, assign items to the right people, see exactly who owes what, then send everyone their share in one tap. SPLIT YOUR WAY Split by item, equally, by percentage, or by exact amounts. Need to tweak someone's share? Tap their total and adjust it by hand: everyone else rebalances automatically and the total always adds up to the cent. SCAN RECEIPTS Scan a receipt with your camera or choose a photo.

Add the people you split with straight from your phone's contacts.
