Snap the receipt, drag each dish onto a face, and everyone sees exactly what they owe. No calculator, no arguing over who had the fries. Point your camera at the receipt and folks reads every line: dishes, quantities, prices, service and tax. It reads printed receipts in many languages and currencies, right on your iPhone. When the numbers don't add up, folks says which part to check instead of guessing. You can fix any line or type the bill by hand. Each receipt you snap is also saved to your Photos. Then hand out the dishes. Drag a dish onto someone's face to give it to them. For a plate you shared, tap everyone who had some and drop it on any of them: each pays an equal part. Service and tax come from the receipt exactly as it prints them, and everyone pays them on their own dishes. Add a tip if you like. Fair to the cent. Every currency keeps its own decimals: yen has none, dinars have three. When a bill doesn't divide evenly, the last cent still goes to someone. When it's split, share a picture of who owes what to your group chat. Your friends don't need the app. Save the people you eat out with as groups, and start their next bill in a tap. Leave a bill half-way and it waits for you. Going away together? Make a trip. Snap each receipt as you go and split it there, or keep it for later and split them all together at the end, on one table. Paid for the car or the rent yourself? Add it with your name on it, and folks shows who pays whom back, and what for. Your bills stay on your phone. No account, no sign-in, no servers, no ads, no tracking. It works without internet. Erase all data whenever you want, and it's all gone. In English, Arabic, Persian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Japanese, Korean and Turkish. folks shows who owes what. It doesn't handle payments.
