Two ways to split, one app. Open a Tab for tonight's dinner: scan the bill, share one link, and everyone taps what they had and pays their share from their phone browser - no app or account for your friends. The tab wraps up on its own after a day. Or keep a Group for the people you split with over and over. dvup turns your group's money into a living picture: every person is a bubble, every shared expense pulls them together, every IOU glows as an arrow between them. Built so no one ever forgets who owes what. It's pronounced "divvy up" - for a reason. No tables, no rows of numbers. Tap a bubble, see exactly what's owed. Settle up, and watch the math melt away. WHY PEOPLE CHOOSE dvup - Tabs for one bill, right now - scan a receipt, share a link, and each person pays their share with no app to install. The tab closes itself after a day - Animated debt visualization - see who owes who at a glance, not in a spreadsheet - Receipt scanning with line-item extraction. Snap a photo, every item parsed automatically - Combine couples and families into units.
