FriendsBill — Split the bill, skip the math Dinner's over, the receipt lands on the table, and someone has to figure out who owes what. FriendsBill turns that into a two-minute job: snap the receipt, share a link, and everyone claims their own items from their own phone. Scan the receipt, skip the typing Take a photo of the bill and FriendsBill reads the items, prices, tax, and tip automatically. No retyping line by line — the whole receipt becomes a live, claimable bill in seconds. You can always add or edit items by hand. Friends join with a link or QR code — no app, no account Show the QR code at the table or send a link. Your friends don't need to install anything or sign up for anything. They open the link, pick their name, and tap the items they had. Shared appetizers? Mark an item as shared and it splits evenly among whoever joins in — down to the exact cent. Watch claims roll in, live As each person claims their items, you see the bill fill up in real time: how much is claimed, how much is paid, and who still owes. No chasing, no spreadsheet, no "wait, who had the calamari?" Fair tax and tip, automatically Tax is split in proportion to what each person actually ordered — the friend who had a salad doesn't subsidize the one who had the steak. Tip can be split evenly or proportionally, your call. Extra gratuity or service charges are handled too. Close the bill, get paid When everyone's claimed, close the bill to freeze the totals. Each friend sees their exact share with a Venmo link to pay you in one tap. Mark people as paid and watch the bill settle itself. Made for the table Fast on any phone, one-handed friendly, light and dark themes, and sign-in with Face ID, passkeys, Apple, or Google. Your bills sync across the app and the web at friendsbill.com. Splitting the bill shouldn't be the hardest part of dinner. FriendsBill keeps the math precise and the friendships intact.
