The check lands and everyone reaches for the calculator. Receipty ends that. Scan the receipt, tap who had what, enter who actually paid, and see exactly who owes whom, with the fewest possible transfers. SCAN THE RECEIPT β’ Point the camera at the receipt or pick a photo. Receipty reads the items and prices right on your iPhone. β’ Anything it isn't sure about is highlighted, so you check it instead of trusting a guess. β’ Fix names, prices and quantities with a tap, or add items by hand. TAP WHO HAD WHAT β’ Tap the names on each item. Shared a pizza? Tap both and the price is split automatically. β’ "All" puts an item on everyone: perfect for the cover charge or a bottle for the table. β’ A running total shows what each person has had so far. OR SPLIT IT EQUALLY No receipt? Type the total and who paid. Receipty splits it evenly, down to the cent. WHO PAYS WHOM β’ Enter what each person put down. Receipty works out the simplest way to settle up: the minimum number of transfers. β’ Paid with a big note? Receipty tells you who keeps the change and what everyone still owes afterwards. β’ "How we got here" shows each person's share, what they paid and the difference. β’ Copy a summary and paste it into the group chat. MADE FOR THE TABLE β’ Fast, clear and easy to use with one hand, even while the waiter waits. β’ 68 currencies, including ones without decimals like yen and won. β’ Light and dark mode. β’ Recent bills are kept so you can check them later. Swipe to delete. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account, no ads, no tracking. Receipts are read on your iPhone, and photos are never uploaded or saved. Your bills stay on your device. Receipty is a calculator: it tells you who owes what, and you settle up however you like.
