Tab keeps your own books, and keeps track of what others owe you. Add an entry: log what you spent, and what someone else should pay you back. Make a bill Any entry can be split. Who owes you how much is worked out on the spot. When it's time, open Split, pick the entries you want to collect, and make a bill. Send the bill straight to them. They don't need the app, and they don't need to sign up. Until the money comes back, the bill stays open. What people split ・Couples: see who paid more this month without arguing from memory. ・Trips with friends: open a trip book, settle it all once you're home, then merge it back into your main book. ・Work expenses: keep one book for the company and one for yourself, so nothing gets mixed up. Tracking your own spending is free forever. Splitting comes with a 7-day free trial, then a one-time purchase. No subscription.
