Nobody comes to dinner to do math. TabCut scans the receipt, assigns each item, and splits tax and tip by what people actually ordered. No accounts. No subscription. Pay once, split forever. HOW IT WORKS 1. Scan or enter items Point your camera at any restaurant receipt and TabCut automatically detects every item. Or type items in manually — whichever is faster at the table. 2. Add your group Add everyone at the table. TabCut gives each person a unique color so you always know who ordered what. 3. Assign items Tap an item and select who ordered it. Shared dishes like apps or dessert can be split across multiple people. 4. Set tax & tip TabCut splits tax and tip in proportion to what each person ordered, so nobody who ordered light pays for the steak. 5. Share instantly Tap any person's card to send them a full itemized invoice via iMessage, email, or any share destination. Includes payment links so they can pay you back in one tap. FEATURES • Receipt scanning — point, tap, done • Manual item entry for when scanning isn't an option • Proportional or equal tax & tip splitting • Per-person itemized invoices (image or PDF) • Group summary with everyone's totals at a glance • Track Invoices — send, track, and mark payments as settled • Venmo, PayPal & Cash App payment links built in • Full split history — every dinner saved automatically • iCloud sync across all your devices • Bill payer designation — track who covered the table • No account required.
