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.
