About

Split

Read full description

You just got dinner with your friends but now it's time to figure out who owes what. Some people shared appetizers but Brett's really not trying to spend too much this month so he wants you to make sure he's only charged for his dish. You pull out a calculator and start doing MATH Usually my friend Jimmy does the math for me, but I don't always have Jimmy. Split's my replacement Jimmy - just upload a receipt, mark who got what, add the total amount (with tax and tip), and Split will show you how much each person owes. No more math!

◆ Stop doing stressed-out math at the table. Focus on hanging out, not the bill. ◆ In a rush? Pick up the tab and sort out the details later. Send personal breakdowns and get paid back faster. ◆ With Live Sharing, everyone can choose their own items. No app, login, or download required for guests. #1 Most Accurate OCR/AI bill splitter Just snap a photo of the receipt, and fairShare uses multiple advanced AI models behind the scenes to read items, prices, tax, and totals. Most receipts scan quickly. Tricky or messy ones get deeper processing under the hood, and if fairShare spots a possible issue, it automatically retries for a cleaner, more accurate result. === FEATURES === • Multi-model AI-powered receipt scanning • Live Sharing for group collaboration • Fairly split tax & tip • Birthday Mode • Venmo integration • Shareable per-person breakdowns • Merge people for shared payments • Quick swipe actions • Saved receipt history • Smart Tip options • More accurate than traditional OCR methods === BUILT WITH CARE === After years of trying bill-splitting apps, I realized none of them got everything right. So I built fairShare to be the one that does. I'm an independent solo developer, and I read every email. My family and I thank you for your support! my.fairshare.support@gmail.com === PRIVACY === Anonymous by design. No email sign-in, phone number, or password required.
