The Tab keeps track of who owes what β€” and looks good doing it. Every balance prints like a receipt: your friends, your groups, one running tab. SCAN THE RECEIPT Point your camera at any bill. The Tab reads the items, you tap who had what, and tax and tip split fairly based on what each person actually ordered. The original receipt photo stays with the entry. GROUPS WITHOUT THE MATH Trips, housemates, team dinners. One toggle shows the fewest payments that settle everyone up. SETTLE FOR REAL Settle-up requests need both sides to confirm, so balances never lie. Save your e-Transfer details and friends who owe you can copy them in one tap. NO NOISE No ads, no tracking, no feed. Delete your account any time, and everything goes with it.
