Went out with friends? Snap a photo of the receipt. Splits reads every item using AI, no typing, no squinting at tiny numbers. Share a link to your group chat and everyone picks what they had. Tax and tip get split proportionally based on what each person actually ordered. The best part? Your friends don't need to download anything. They open the link in their browser, tap their items, and they're done in 30 seconds. HOW IT WORKS - Snap the receipt: Take a photo and AI extracts every item, price, tax, and tip instantly. Works with any restaurant receipt. - Share a link: Send it via iMessage, WhatsApp, or any group chat. Friends claim their items right in the browser. - Settle up: One tap sends a Venmo request, Cash App payment, or Zelle transfer with the exact amount pre-filled. BEYOND RESTAURANT BILLS Splits isn't just for dinners. Covered an Uber? Split the groceries? Add any shared expense in seconds with Quick Add — just enter the amount, pick your friends, and split it equally or by custom amounts. No receipt needed. YOUR MONEY, YOUR PEOPLE Every shared expense lives in one place. Open Splits and see exactly where you stand with every friend, who owes you, who you owe, and how much. No more mental accounting or awkward "hey, did you pay me back?" texts. Tap into any friend to see your full history together, every dinner, every Uber, every settlement with a running balance that updates in real time. When it's time to settle up, one tap opens Venmo, Cash App, or Zelle with the right amount. Or just mark it as paid if they handed you cash. BUILT DIFFERENT - AI does the work: No manual data entry. Ever. Our AI handles quantities, multi-item lines, service charges, and every receipt format we've seen. - Zero friction for friends: They open a link. That's it. No app download, no account creation, no "can you install this real quick." - Actually fair: Tax and tip calculated based on what you ordered, not split evenly across the table. - Free: Unlimited scans, unlimited splits, unlimited friends. No premium tier, no scan limits, no paywalls.
