Dinner out, a weekend away, a big grocery run. Afterwards everyone wants to know what they owe. SplitHappens reads the bill from a photo. Everyone taps what they had and pays exactly that. For trips and shared homes, a group keeps every expense in one place and tells you at the end who pays whom. Free, no ads, no subscription. EVERYONE PAYS FOR WHAT THEY HAD • Every item gets split on its own • One soda means paying for one soda • Share the starter for two or the bottle of wine across the table • Everyone sees the same expense, live on their own phone SCAN THE RECEIPT • Take a photo and the app picks up items, prices and the tip • If the items don't add up to the receipt total, it tells you • Anything it gets wrong, you fix with a tap • Works with more than 30 currencies GROUPS FOR TRIPS, ROOMMATES AND REGULAR NIGHTS OUT • Create a group, pick an icon, bring friends in by link or QR code • Every expense lands in the group, whoever paid this time • Expenses in another currency get converted for you • When you're done, the app shows who pays whom, with as few transfers as possible • Been out with the same people a few times? The app offers to save them as a group QUICK TO ADD • One screen: amount, who was there, who paid • Split evenly or type in your own amounts • Or add items by hand, bottle deposits included • Before you save, you already see who owes whom • The tip can be spread across everyone based on what they had GUESTS DON'T NEED THE APP • Anyone without the app joins by name • After saving, send each guest their share as a message • The link shows them what's still open in the browser, no sign-up • If they create an account later, their expenses come with them SETTLING UP • Your home screen lists each person once, with what's open between you • Group expenses and one-off expenses are netted against each other • Tap "Pay" and their PayPal or bank details are right there, if they've added them • Log a payment with one tap and the other person gets notified GOOD FOR • Restaurants and bars where everyone ordered something different • Shared homes: scan the grocery receipt, everyone takes their own items • Trips and holidays with friends • Pub nights, club outings, birthday weekends YOUR DATA • Stored on our own server in Germany • No ads, no ad tracking • Crash reports and anonymous usage stats can be switched off in settings • Export everything as CSV, delete your account right in the app • Light or dark, following your phone's settings SplitHappens is made by one person near Stuttgart, Germany.

Split the bill quickly — without turning dinner into an accounting exercise. Free to use with no hidden costs. Dinner Bill Splitter is designed for real-world meals, drinks and shared spending. Use a quick equal split, make the split more realistic with simple weightings, or itemise only the things that actually matter. QUICK SPLIT Enter the bill total, choose how many people are paying and instantly see what everyone owes. Add a tip or service charge, make individual adjustments and get the answer without entering every item on the receipt. WEIGHTED SPLIT Not everyone always spends the same. Give someone a lower share, such as a child or lighter spender, or a higher share for someone who spent more. Dinner Bill Splitter works out the rest automatically. It is a fast alternative to manually calculating every drink, side or course. ITEMISED When you need more detail, use Itemised mode. Add people and groups, then enter only the categories and amounts that matter — starters, mains, desserts, drinks or your own custom items. Tip or service can still be included automatically. SAVE YOUR BILLS Keep useful bills in History so you can return to them later. • Add a reference and date • Add notes • Attach receipt photos • Edit saved bills later • Share a bill summary • Quickly reuse previous people and group names SYNC WITH ICLOUD Your bills are stored on your device and can synchronise automatically through your private iCloud account when available. No Dinner Bill Splitter account or separate sign-in is required. The app continues to work locally when iCloud is unavailable. BUILT TO BE QUICK Dinner Bill Splitter deliberately avoids unnecessary complexity. Sometimes you just need to know who owes what — quickly. Quick when it can be. Detailed when it needs to be. Please note: Calculations are provided as guidance. Always check the original bill and confirm the amounts everyone needs to pay. This app may include adverts to help ensure it can continue to be free to use.
