About

Kin

Features

Split any bill without the awkward maths. Kin turns a photo of a receipt into an itemised split in seconds. Snap it, let Kin read the items and the tax, then let everyone claim what they actually had. No spreadsheets, no "what did you order again?", no chasing people for weeks. WHAT MAKES KIN DIFFERENT Claim by the item, not by the head count. Most apps divide the total by the number of people at the table. Kin splits by what each person actually ordered, down to individual units, so two of the four coffees can go to one person. Anything shared, like a bottle of wine or the starters, is split between whoever claimed it. Tax is apportioned item by item, automatically. Split with people who don't have Kin. Add someone as a guest and they are in the split straight away. No download, no sign-up, no waiting on them. Link them to a real account later and their whole history follows them across. Repeating bills, handled. Rent, the weekly shop, the shared subscription. Set it once with a weekly, monthly or yearly cadence and Kin recreates it on schedule, with the same people and the same split. One balance per person, not per receipt. Kin nets everything you have split with someone into a single figure, so you see one number per friend instead of a pile of open bills. Settle up in one payment and Kin clears the right receipts behind the scenes. Everyone pays the way they already pay. Add your payment link and friends can settle up in a tap. In Egypt, that means InstaPay. ALSO IN THE APP - Groups for the people you split with often: flatmates, trips, the regular dinner - Add friends by QR code, by search, or by discovering people nearby (opt-in) - More than one payer on a bill, for when two cards went down - Any currency, picked up automatically from where you are - Notifications when someone claims an item, pays you, or invites you to a bill - Duplicate any past receipt in one tap PERFECT FOR - Dinners, brunches and the group coffee run - Trips, weekends away and shared holiday rentals - Flatmates splitting rent, bills and the weekly shop - Anyone tired of "I'll send it to you later" Kin is free to use. Kin Pro raises the limits on receipts, AI scans and repeating bills. Questions or feedback?
