SplitCheck – Check Splitter / Tip Calculator There may be other apps that allow you to split a check among different parties, but this app was designed to allow you to quickly enter your check and get the results fast and accurately. It does one thing and does it well. You don’t want your bother-in-law leaving the table before he knows what he owes. No more wondering why we’re still $5.00 short. Enter items from your restaurant check into SplitCheck. As you enter an item’s price, another line is automatically entered below, ready for you to touch and enter that next item. The goal of the data entry method was to minimize ‘touches’ so data can be entered fast and easily. Enter who purchased the item next to the price of the item, either as you go or after all the items have been entered. Use initials, names, or numbers to make the entry easy. (It is case insensitive to make it even easier.) If an item was split, enter the same names or initials separated by a space. Depending on how many shared items are entered 50 or more payees can be entered! If an item is split among all parties, you can leave the payee’s box blank and the program assumes that the item is to be split among all uniquely entered payees. Touch the ‘Tax’ button to enter the tax amount. The tax is proportionately calculated and applied based on the amounts each person spent. Use the spinner to select a tip amount. The tip for each person is shown separately. You can even apply a coupon value to one person or split among two or more people. Enter the value of the coupon and press ‘Coupon’. As with other entries, the value of the coupon can be assigned to one or more payees. (The tip will be calculated based on the bill without the coupon value subtracted.) At any time touch ‘Show Splits’ to display how much each payee owes. The results are sorted by name with the bill, tip and total displayed for each. Touching ‘Details’ displays the breakdown for each payee. 1.5 Initial Release

Bill-splitting made for the table. Scan the receipt, claim what you ordered, and get paid back instantly. Pay only for what you ordered and get paid back without chasing payments for weeks. KoTab handles both, in under a minute. How it works: 1. Scan. Whoever pays the bill scans the receipt, and we pull every item, tax, and tip automatically. 2. Claim. Share with friends and let everyone claim their items in real-time. 3. Settle. The host covers the bill. Friends pay them back in one tap via Venmo or Cash App. The whole flow can be completed before the server even takes the check. Why KoTab? - Pay for what you ordered. Tax and tip distributed proportionally, with your share matching your meal, not the table average. - Real-time claiming. Everyone claims their own items. No one person stuck doing the math. - Native Venmo and Cash App in the flow. No need to copy and paste amounts. No bank information needed. - AI receipt scanning that actually works. Accurate down to modifiers, shared plates, and discounts. - Built for the moment the check arrives. Splitwise is for expenses, Venmo Groups can't read the receipt, and other apps take days to receive your payment. KoTab is the only app built for the table. KoTab is for: - The friend who always ends up paying for the table and waiting weeks to get paid back - Group meals, bar tabs, and weekend trips - Anyone who's ever opened a calculator app at the dinner table - Anyone tired of awkward post-meal money conversations KoTab handles the math, the claiming, and the chasing.
