$247. Seven people. Three shared appetizers. One person had water. The receipt already knows who ordered what. Now your phone does too. splitty reads any receipt in seconds—every item, every modifier, every tax line. Tap to assign who got what. Send Venmo requests before the waiter comes back. 30 seconds. Done. HOW IT WORKS Snap a photo of the receipt. splitty reads every line item automatically—dishes, drinks, modifiers ("add bacon +$2"), tax, and tip. No typing. Items start split equally. Tap to tweak who got what. Shared the truffle fries? Mark it split between the people who actually ate them. Tax and tip distribute proportionally—the salad person pays salad-level tax, not ribeye-level. When you're done, send payment requests directly. Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, Monzo, Revolut—one tap each. Pre-filled amounts. Pre-filled notes. No "I'll get you next time." WHAT SPLITTY DOES Reads receipts with 99%+ accuracy. Splits items fairly (not just equally). Sends payment requests in one tap. Works with 10+ payment methods. No account required. WHAT SPLITTY DOESN'T DO Track ongoing expenses (use Splitwise for roommates). Manage multi-day trips (use Splid for vacations).
